Marsala color is a soft red shade with light brown tones. It received this name thanks to the Sicilian dessert wine. Therefore, this shade nobly highlights the wedding cake. It will be symbolic if the entire event is held in a similar shade.
The deep red color looks aristocratic in the interior and in the bride’s bouquet. The main advantage of this tone is that it goes well with almost any color. Therefore, you can safely purchase not only a delicacy in Marsala color, but also other parts of the celebration.
Wedding decoration in Marsala color
Preparing for a wedding from start to finish requires special attention regarding the theme of the holiday: decorating the hall, choosing outfits for relatives and friends. The use of marsala color in items such as curtains, decorations, textiles will accurately reflect consistency, sophistication, and interest.
It is especially acceptable to combine and add accent notes in compatibility with another color palette:
- Black and white gamma;
- Grey;
- Cream;
- Beige;
- Vanilla;
- Terracotta.
These colors will create the impression of complete harmony; it is especially acceptable to use them in the design of the general ambiance of the wedding hall and the wedding clothes of the newlyweds.
Marsala wedding hall decoration
The marsala color began to be actively used back in 2015 and until this year has not lost its position, winning hearts with its charm. We have already figured out what to combine the color of Marsala with, but there are still shades that will ideally solemnly represent the holiday atmosphere:
- Ocher;
- Dark brown;
- White;
- Salad.
They will create a feeling of freshness, unshakable joy and peace. A combination with neutral shades is considered a win-win option. For example, rich tablecloths on tables in Marsala color and beige chairs. Textiles on the window group can be alternated with white to obtain a rich contrast. But the walls in the shade of strong wine should not be stylized; this technique is very contradictory and will most likely add heaviness to the room.
What shades can be combined with noble wine?
Marsala color goes well with other colors and shades. Its unique feature is that it can change depending on what it is combined with. The most elegant tones are in use - burgundy, dark cherry, ripe pomegranate, rich wine. How a Marsala-colored outfit or drapery will look depends largely on the fabric. Expensive materials look especially luxurious - silk, satin, velvet, brocade. In the outfit and design it can be combined with the following colors:
- black with the addition of a third shade - white or peach, looks really luxurious;
- Marsala works well with gray, steel and pearl shades, emphasizing luxury and chic;
- the noble combination with beige favorably emphasizes the passion of Marsala and the tenderness of pastel colors;
- white color plays on contrasts, drawing a clear line between deep burgundy and dazzling whiteness;
- individual shades of pink and pale pink can be successfully combined with Marsala, but you should approach the choice carefully;
- delicate peach softens rich burgundy, creating a mysterious, bold combination;
- emerald is also suitable for this wedding, but a successful duet should be diluted with pastel shades or a white background should be added;
- the same applies to rich and pale shades of blue and blue - such a combination needs a more subdued, lighter background;
- Marsala looks great against an ivory background;
- You can add chocolate accents that will soften the rich wine.
A great combination of Marsala with gold or silver is perfect for any season. It should be remembered that this color is self-sufficient. He demonstrates authoritarianism and financial well-being, and is full of inner strength. When creating outfits and decorations, you need to decorate at least 60% of the space in the main color, and leave the rest for auxiliary shades. Also, you should not combine Marsala with other bright colors - it will turn out incredibly bad taste.
Wedding in ivory and marsala colors
Separately, I would like to review the combination of ivory and Marsala, which is especially relevant this year. If you want your wedding to look rich, these are the shades for you.
Ivory is not only ivory, it can shade:
- Beige;
- Peach;
- Cream;
- Pink shades.
The peculiarity of the ivory bride’s image captivates with femininity, emphasizing grace and tenderness. Connoisseurs of joyful inspiration and grace will suit a dress in ivory color. Coffee ivory is more suitable for brides whose charisma will haunt neither the groom nor the guests. But if you are a big prude and do not want excessive attention to your person, it is better to refuse this combination. For dark-skinned girls, a dress in pink ivory and peach colors goes perfectly with a tan.
Groom image
The groom's suit in Marsala color looks simply luxurious. But if the bride has chosen a white dress with burgundy trim, then a classic dark gray or black jacket pair, complemented with wine-colored accessories, will look more harmonious with this outfit. This could be a tie, a pocket square, or shoes. A boutonniere in burgundy tones attached to the lapel of the jacket will complete the groom's look.
Marsala and gold wedding
Combining Marsala and gold is a stylish solution for modern people. It is beneficial for young people who are engaged in creativity.
Unusual interpretations associated with the stylization of the room can combine:
- Retro style;
- Hints of glossy hi-tech;

Order a combination of expensive textiles of gold and Marsala for your wedding and be sure that the guests’ views will be reflected in delight, and even in the photo they will delight the lovers with colors and life-giving joy. Accessories for women at a wedding also require attention; the decorative jewelry presented in gold will be able to harmonize with this choice.

Marsala wedding – hall decoration
Needless to say, the color of Marsala is primarily about saturation. Like aged Sicilian wine, the shade is noble and the same quality should be used to decorate the entire interior of the wedding hall:
- Massive curtains, often using velvet, will make the surroundings chic;
- If you decide to decorate the room with floristry, then take a closer look at flowers such as dahlia, scabiosa, tulip (black), rose, fatinia, clematis. In fact, the choice of colors can be much larger; experienced florists today offer the best options for a given color palette;

- Beads;
- Lace;
- Ribbons.
Here again, advantageous, interesting color combinations are selected.
Marsala wedding cake
It so happened traditionally that the cake is a symbol of the newlyweds. It is very important not to overdo it, because the main shade of a Marsala wedding is a consistent and rich thematic character. The cake should amaze all guests with its creativity, but it is not necessary to use the color Marsala.
For example, here are some ideas:
- Eco jewelry is the trend of the year. Decorate the cake with flowers of this color; multi-tiered designs will look especially bright;
- Fruits are also no exception; they can be combined with flowers (grapes, plums);
- Confectionery skills in the form of patterns, figures, inscriptions will become relevant;
- Take a closer look at the decorations of the beads; they will especially elegantly present their sophistication to the guests.
Cake and features of its design
Use a monotone cake style in the Marsala palette. A beautiful inscription with the names of the newlyweds will look good. The cake will be decorated with cherries and white icing. In general, there are no limits to your imagination when decorating a wedding cake.
Types of cakes:
- Single level cake; A one-tier cake needs to be decorated to give it luxury. In this case, the top part of the sweet dessert should be decorated with mastic. You can decorate with mastic paints.

- Cakes with open tiers; An extremely unique and well-known solution is a shortbread cake. You can take raspberries, stone. The shortbreads need to be filled with berry syrups or wine.
- Cakes beautifully decorated with paints; Mastic flowers and floral arrangements. It is more correct to place them at the top of the dessert in the form of a bouquet.
Marsala wedding glasses
Glasses are one of the most important attributes at a wedding. Usually two pairs are purchased at once, one of which the newlyweds should break for luck, the second to keep as a keepsake. Decorated glasses in the Marsala color style lively harmonize, transforming part of the ritual into a memorable event.
A photo with these attributes is especially valuable when:
- The glasses are released together with the beads;
- Strict bows;
- Geometric patterns using ribbons.
Wine color on a glass glass of champagne is a design that will testify to the delicate taste of the newlyweds.
Wedding color Marsala - image of the groom
Let's look at what to combine with the groom's suit if he has chosen a rich marsala tone.
So:
- To match the groom's chic suit in this color, the shirt should be light;
- Shoes and elegant trousers should also be dark in color. The important thing is that the top can be light and the trousers dark, but not vice versa;
- The tie matches the tone of the suit, but can also be combined with a beige jacket, provided that the trousers and shoes are of the same rich shade;
- The boutonniere must match the bride's bouquet in color and assortment of flower arrangements.
The bride usually takes first place, in which case the groom should be guided by her choice. If the choice was made for a dress in the color of Marsala, then it is natural for the groom to wear the same tone of suit.
Single tier cake
Single-level desserts are usually decorated with a wide variety of decorative elements. This allows you to make it more magnificent and voluminous. If desired, you can take ready-made elements made from mastic, meringue or any other material.
It is also possible to experiment with color transitions on the canvas itself. A wedding cake in Marsala color can be used as a base or used to set off a riot of colors.
A delicacy in this shade goes well with flowers of white, yellow or another tone . Marsala allows you to create unusual compositions that will surprise every guest.
To create not only a beautiful, but also a tasty dessert, you will need to try. It is recommended to entrust this to an experienced pastry chef who is not the first to work with this color. It is important to choose the right shape and filling.
Most often, cakes in this color are made round. This is a kind of classic in Marsala color.
Marsala wedding – creating the image of the bride
The dress is the most important moment for the bride. We will start from its color. Current practice shows that the color of Marsala will best highlight the bride if there is less of it than, for example, beige or sand color.
Let's highlight some nuances in the image:
- So, if the dress is beige, wine lace patterns will look very beautiful on it;
- Marsala color must be present in the bride's makeup. In some cases, the accent is lipstick. If you choose a light shade for your lips, make your eyes expressive;
- The color of Marsala goes well with velvet, silk, and suede, so when choosing shoes you should start from this type of fabric. If your favorite season is winter, bridal boots in Marsala will be acceptable for the hippie style lovers. But for lovers of the classics, boots with low heels or wedges are suitable.
Multi-tiered cakes
To create a multi-story delicacy in Marsala color, you will need to carefully think through the entire composition. In the modern world, many confectioners use lace in this color to decorate large desserts.
This material is easy to cut and has a fairly large length. This makes it easy to decorate both a two-tier dessert and a four-tier one.
