At Heroes Ballroom, we know that color sets the tone for your entire wedding. And when it comes to May, the possibilities are as fresh and romantic as the season itself. This time of year, our ballroom comes alive with palettes that range from soft and serene to bold and blooming—and we love helping couples find the perfect combination to express their unique love story.
Here are the May wedding color palettes we’re absolutely loving right now:
1. Pastel Perfection
There’s no better time for pastels than May. Think blush pink, lavender, powder blue, and soft butter yellow. These gentle hues create an ethereal and romantic feel, perfect for ceremonies bathed in spring light. Our ballroom shines with pastel linens, flowing floral arrangements, and delicate lighting.
Pairing these colors with vintage accents or whimsical spring details like butterflies or cherry blossoms adds a dreamy elegance to the space.
2. Sage Green & Soft Peach
This combo brings the freshness of spring indoors. Sage green evokes the natural beauty of May’s blooming gardens, while soft peach adds a warm and welcoming glow. This duo looks stunning in our venue, especially when paired with natural wood tones and ivory fabrics.
These hues are ideal for couples seeking a sophisticated yet organic vibe. Incorporate fresh greenery in your centerpieces and opt for peach-toned florals like garden roses or ranunculus.
3. Dusty Blue & Mauve
This modern romantic palette is trending for good reason. Dusty blue brings calm sophistication, while mauve adds a subtle depth that’s perfect for an early summer transition. We love styling this combination with metallic accents—rose gold, copper, or brushed gold—to give it a luxe finish.
For bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen accents, this color scheme is especially flattering and looks incredible in photos taken against the backdrop of our grand ballroom. Find more color inspiration from industry pros like The Knot’s pastel wedding color schemes.
4. Lemon Yellow & Sky Blue
Bright and cheerful, this color palette channels the joy of a spring morning. Lemon yellow adds a pop of sunshine, while sky blue keeps things breezy and sweet. It’s a bold and playful combo that’s perfect for couples looking to create an atmosphere of light-hearted celebration.
Use this palette in unexpected ways: yellow signature cocktails, hand-painted blue escort cards, or a playful mix of florals that mirror the sky and sun. Add a dessert bar featuring lemon-flavored treats for a delicious on-theme detail.
5. Terracotta & Rose
Warm, earthy, and oh-so-romantic, this palette is a fresh take on spring neutrals. Terracotta grounds your design while dusty rose keeps it soft and seasonal. Ideal for boho-chic or modern rustic weddings, this color scheme pairs beautifully with dried florals, terra cotta pottery, and natural textures.
With Heroes Ballroom’s spacious and customizable layout, you can fully bring this theme to life with textured backdrops, layered linens, and subtle candlelight.
