For outdoor, boho, or rustic settings, muted tones paired with pale pastels feel effortless. The Trish Beige Floral Babydoll Mini has gentle mint and lavender floral prints on beige, and that soft color palette fits every vibe. Wear it with nude sandals and subtle gold jewelry for an earthy, light feel.
Mixing beige with mint or lavender creates a pretty nature-inspired look that fits meadow weddings or countryside venues. You’ll feel laid-back yet polished in this palette.
6. Black & Hot Pink – Edgy and Eye-Catching
Combine a black structure with a pop of hot pink, and you get something both bold and polished.

It’s a mix that’s young, spirited, and perfect for evening or city weddings where you want to stand out.
7. Mint & Ivory – Fresh and Feminine
Mint and ivory feel like a soft whisper of spring. This combo is as light as it gets. Try a mint dress or ivory maxi, select accessories in the opposite tone.
