Peerspace venues ideal for a jewel toned wedding

Curious to see what types of Peerspace venues you can book for your big day? We’re glad to hear it! Here are a couple of examples of wedding venues that would be lovely choices for a jewel toned wedding:

Sprawling 5-acre manicured lawn setting in Reisterstown, MD

This five-acre manicured lawn located in Reisterstown, Maryland is known as Emerald Acres. What a perfect fit for a jewel toned wedding, with the grass itself being the source of that beautiful emerald backdrop! In addition to the well-kept carpet of grass, this venue also offers a “bamboo” forest and parking space for roughly 40 cars total. The space can accommodate up to 75 guests, so it’s an excellent option for a medium-sized wedding.

One reviewer who booked an event here commented, “I’m so happy we decided to book this outdoor space. The venue manager and staff had such great hospitality and was very welcoming. We want to send an extended thank you for the great services provided and highly recommend this venue to those seeking.”

Loft in Flatiron with staff included in New York City, NY

Here you can rent out an entire floor of a loft in NYC – specifically, in Manhattan’s bustling Flatiron District. Just take a quick glance at the photos to see how the colorful lighting makes it the ideal space for a jewel toned wedding, as half your decorating is already taken care of!

It also comes with “Wi-Fi, 2 smart flat-screen TVs, a pool table, a DJ setup with a speaker system, two newly renovated bathrooms, a full bar,” as well as “hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, expansive windows, a state-of-the-art sound system, unique art installations with detailed accent pieces, and a list of other amenities at no additional cost.”

At first glance, the rental rate might seem a bit steep (it is New York City, after all). However, we’re happy to report that the rental rate includes many services. In fact, you’ll get access to staff that includes an event manager, bartender, bar-back, and lobby hostess. You can feel confident that you’ll have a good time here, as the space has more than 300 reviews adding up to a five-star rating for this venue.

A ruby-red vintage speakeasy in San Francisco, CA

We’ve introduced you to an emerald venue and an amethyst venue, and now, we have this ruby-red vintage theater venue in the heart of San Francisco! It’s a gorgeous creative space known as the Lost Church with space for 135 guests. Your rental grants you access to three distinct spaces, the theater, a bar room, and a private green room space.

The host provides A/V equipment and staff, with DJs and other must-haves for an additional cost. The fact that it’s a non-profit organization that supports the arts may also have special meaning for you as a couple.

An eclectic Bohemian loft in Overland, MO

For the couple that adores all things eclectic, this unique loft space in Overland, MO is bursting with jewel tone inspiration. At its core, the venue is industrial and was once a 1924 SWBell switching station. While the host has since turned it into a bohemian playground, it still retains its brick walls, concrete floors, high ceilings, and large arched windows.

On top of that, add in all of the unique jewel tone furnishings and decor that grace the space and you’ll have one cool wedding venue on your hands! While the loft is huge at 5,600 square feet, the host prefers guest lists of up to 35 people, so perhaps save this space for your micro-wedding, wedding reception, or even the rehearsal dinner.

Decorating for a jewel toned wedding

Jewel tones make a natural choice for wedding centerpieces, drawing the eye and looking absolutely stunning. For some really useful inspo, take a look at this list of 25 jewel-toned wedding centerpieces from Martha Stewart Weddings.

They write that it’s easy to find flowers in this color palette: “Many different flowers are naturally available in these shades, which makes it easy to select the blooms that are right for your day. For a classic event, there’s nothing more fitting than a traditional red rose. If you’re throwing a modern wedding, look for vibrant blue anemones to feature in your reception arrangements.”

This is also true of your bouquet, so consider holding a jewel-toned wedding bouquet as well. Plus, table linens in jewel tones work beautifully. Consider combining them with wood and velvet textures where you can to add visual depth and interest. Your wedding cake can even incorporate jewel tones: “Keep it simple with a striking white tiered cake, adorned with fresh flowers in your chosen shades,” writes SelectedVenues.

What other colors go with jewel tones?

For a jewel toned wedding, you’re probably wondering how exactly to incorporate these kinds of colors together and with other shades. Most jewel tones go great together, especially if you pair warmer and cooler jewel tones.

Metallic hues also look wonderful as a complement to jewel tones. As described in this article on the Ballard Designs website, “We’d be remiss if we didn’t talk a little bit about metallics while we’re on the subject of jewel tones. Just like your favorite pieces of jewelry, golds and silvers are the perfect complement to saturated sapphire, emerald, and ruby-colored hues.”

And what about pairing jewel tones with more neutral colors? According to Havenly, deep emerald goes really well with neutrals: “while yes, it is saturated, it pairs beautifully with neutrals like cream and brown.”

All about jewel toned bridalwear

Consider a jewel toned wedding gown instead of a white gown, especially if you’re going for a more non-traditional feel at your wedding. There are so many color options here and you can find yourself a truly stunning gown in emerald, ruby red, cobalt blue, and other jewel-like hues.

And with a white or off-white gown, you can always use jewel tones for your makeup (check out this tutorial from YouTuber KathleenLights as an example) and/or for your accessories, like your shoes, as well as of course your jewelry. And don’t forget about the bridesmaids’ gowns. The ladies can wear your favorite jewel tone shade, like amethyst, emerald, or sapphire, in a gorgeous satin fabric, giving the appearance of shimmering jewels.

Wherever you incorporate jewel tones, they’ll add a gorgeous pop of color that will transform your whole ensemble into something truly special. For more inspiration, check out this list of 33 jewel tone wedding dresses from Weddingomania.
