Butter yellow wedding color palette

Butter yellow is the pale creamy yellow that came back as the soft alternative to white, gentle enough to work as a near-neutral. It warms a spring palette the way early light does, with none of the primary-color read that keeps most yellows out of weddings. Daffodils, freesia, and craspedia carry it, and raw silk holds the tone where cotton flattens it.

Real flowers for a butter yellow palette

Daffodils and freesia carry the pale creamy yellow, spring's own flowers rather than dyed stems.

  • DaffodilFocal flower

    Daffodils open the season in March and April and are gone by May; their sap is toxic to other cut flowers, so they need conditioning on their own first.

  • FreesiaSecondary flower

    Freesia is available year-round, prized for its scent and a creamy yellow-to-white range that carries a spring palette past the daffodils.

Daffodil is at its best in spring, so a spring date gets it fresh from the field. See our spring wedding colors guide for the full seasonal palette.
