Why Choose a Terra Cotta Wedding Theme?

The perfect blend of earthy, warm hues

Whether you call it terra cotta, burnt orange, or rust – this earthy wedding color palette is both versatile and elegant. Terra cotta, with its warm reddish-brown hues, is a versatile color that exudes rustic charm and modern elegance. A deep, burnt orange wedding pairs effortlessly with neutral sandy tones like ivory and beige, as well as greens and gold. 

Here’s why it’s a fantastic choice for your beach wedding:

  • Natural Elegance: Terra cotta echoes the earthy tones of the beach, harmonizing with the sand and surrounding greenery.
  • Timeless Appeal: The warmth of terra cotta adds a cozy yet sophisticated touch, making your décor feel inviting and stylish.
  • On-Trend: Terra cotta has become a trending color for weddings, offering a modern aesthetic with a timeless feel.

Floral Arrangements to Complement a Terra Cotta Wedding

Incorporating terra cotta doesn’t stop at the arch or chair sashes. Accessories play a crucial role in tying your theme together. 

Although our packages do NOT include any of these additional elements – we felt inspired by this color palette. Here are some ideas for adding terra cotta-inspired touches to your wedding:

What color flowers go with terracotta? Terra cotta pairs beautifully with muted floral tones like dusty pink, cream, and soft green. Neutrals and metallic elements offer added elegance to the color palette as well. Consider these blooms for your bouquets, centerpieces and other decor:

  • Roses in blush and burnt orange.
  • Eucalyptus for greenery.
  • Dried florals, like pampas grass and bunny tails, for texture.

Terra Cotta Table Décor & Accents

Our services only include wedding ceremony packages and planning. We do not offer any reception packages or planning services. However, our team would like to share some suggestions for terra cotta-themed table decor for your reception, if you choose to plan your own. 

The beauty of terra cotta is in its versatility. Play with different shades and textures when planning your table decor. Here are some items we recommend:

  • Table runners or chargers in terra cotta tones.
  • Candles in complementary shades, like ivory, amber or gold.
  • Menus printed on rustic, burnt orange cardstock.
  • Mixed pampas grass centerpieces and accents.

  • Groomsmen with terra cotta ties or pocket squares.
  • Bridal party florals in a mixture of earthy hues, or wrapped in matching ribbons.
The options are endless when it comes to planning a terra cotta wedding. This wedding color palette has been a top trend for a reason – it’s versatile, warm, lush, and elegant.
