When you're planning a waterfront wedding, your color palette should enhance—not compete with—the natural beauty around you. At Riverside Pavilion, we’ve seen hundreds of events where the river, sky, and surrounding greenery elevate the atmosphere, and the right colors make it even more magical. If you're getting married or hosting an event at a riverside venue like ours, here are the top trending color palettes for 2025 that will photograph beautifully and feel timeless by the water.
🌧️ 1. Coastal Neutrals
Colors: Sand, Driftwood, Misty Blue, Ivory
Inspired by soft waves and natural textures, this palette creates a serene and elevated atmosphere. Think light linens, weathered wood tones, and delicate florals in ivory and sage. Perfect for minimalist couples who want a breezy, effortless vibe that blends seamlessly with the riverside backdrop.
🌈 2. Sunset Sorbet

These warm hues reflect the colors of golden hour on the Halifax River. Incorporate sunset tones in your florals, bridesmaids’ dresses, or table runners to enhance the glow of a late afternoon celebration. This palette is playful yet romantic—ideal for summer weddings and golden-hour ceremonies.
