Dusty blue has become a popular choice for weddings, but it doesn’t have to look boring or plain. It goes well with earth-toned colors that are so popular these days, especially copper, which is definitely having a moment in wedding planning. If you want to make your dusty blue wedding look unique and fun, consider including some shades of copper in your decor. Here’s why this color combination works so well:
- They go together naturally because they’re both cool colors
- Both are shades of gray—dusty blue is actually the same color as smoke! That makes it easier to pair with other colors without having too much contrast or harshness between them; plus you can use light and dark tones without overpowering each other’s effects on the overall scheme (you don’t want everything to be dark if there are also lots of white flowers around). This also means that light dusties can complement darker coppers more easily than they would match up with bright oranges or reds. Just make sure not all your flowers are one shade of blue unless they’re going into an arrangement together—having different hues gives some visual interest while still giving off that calming vibe we’re going for here!

Dusty Blue and Copper Reception Decor
For a wedding reception, you can add some copper accents to your tables. Here are some ideas:
- Add copper in your centerpieces. You can do this by using vases and vessels that have a copper finish on them. If you want something more substantial, get table numbers or escort cards made out of copper instead of wood or cardboard. Copper adds more of an industrial feel to the decor, which is great for a barn wedding reception!
- Use copper in your menu cards and signage as well! The color will look great against the dusty blue walls at any venue with lots of windows—especially if it’s outside during sunset!
Dusty Blue Wedding Cake
Dusty blue is a great color to use in your wedding cake. Not only will it add some subtle color, but dusty blue can also be paired with other colors. You can definitely pair this color with gold or copper accents, like the ones we used in our wedding.
Dusty blue is just one of the many possible shades for you to consider when designing your cake!
Dusty Blue and Copper Table Settings
To add a pop of color, you can use a dusty blue table runner. Another option is to add copper accents to the table setting like chargers and flatware. For example, if you want to use a traditional charger plate as opposed to an actual place setting, then choose one that has some copper in it. This will still allow guests to see how beautiful your dusty blue and copper wedding colors are while also adding enough visual interest so that they don’t feel like they’re eating off metal plates all night long.
You could also have your guests eat off a set of dinnerware that is completely made out of copper—this will give them something unique and interesting for their meal but won’t be too distracting from the rest of your decorating scheme!
Dusty Blue Wedding Stationery and Printables
You can use dusty blue and copper colors in your wedding stationery, too.
- Use a darker shade of dusty blue in the background and a lighter shade of dusty blue as a text color. If you already have an invitation suite, this is easy to do—simply change the colors!
- Add copper accents throughout your invitation suite, such as on address labels or calligraphy details. Copper ink has the same rich tone as gold and can take your wedding stationery up a notch without breaking the bank (it’s way more affordable than actual gold leaf).
Combining dusty blue with copper is a great way to add more color to your wedding day while still keeping things neutral.
When you think of dusty blue and copper, you may be picturing a pair of blue jeans with a top that is a deep brown. But don’t let this color combo’s casual roots keep you from using it as your wedding palette! Dusty blue and copper can make for a gorgeous neutral palette—and we’re not just talking about neutrals in white or ivory, either. The combination of shades like these is versatile enough to work with any color scheme from bright pastels to bold brights.
To start off, dust some dusty blue onto the cake by pairing it with creamy white frosting that has been piped into puffy flowers (or whatever else strikes your fancy). Next add copper accessories like chargers and centerpieces on tables around the reception space to bring out the warm tones of both colors. Your invitation suite should include matching copper foil accents that match up nicely with your other printables—such as save-the-dates and place cards!
There are so many ways to add dusty blue and copper together, from wedding decor to tableware. This color combination is perfect for a more neutral wedding day that still wants some extra color. Whether you’re looking for something simple or something elaborate, there’s sure to be something here that works well with your vision!
