Yellow + Chocolate Brown
One of my best mellow yellow color combinations is yellow and chocolate brown.Yellow and chocolate brown is ideal for the couple who have the following characteristics:
Optimistic ( the color yellow represents happiness)
Would love a feeling of wholesomeness ( the color brown often creates a psychological feeling of stability)
Want a sense of connection to nature ( the color brown is belongs to a family of earth tones)

If you are choosing the yellow and chocolate brown wedding theme, you should incorporate gold to be a beautiful accent.for your wedding accesories, fonts and any other part of your wedding decor that would need a touch of class.
Yellow + Black+ White
Feeling abit experimental, you can try using more two tones to much the color yellow namely black and white. Although yellow can go well with each individual color i.e. black or white, the color combination of the three ensures that there won't be too much of any of these dominant colors. Which bride and groom should go for this combination?
If you are looking for a feeling of sophistication & elegance you should definitely try this color combination because the black introduces this element.
White helps break the black contrast and brings out the feeling of neutrality & purity.
The contrast between the white and yellow creates a happy mood for the guests to enjoy.
This color combination would be ideal for the bride and groom hosting a formal dinner and is perfect for a contemporary wedding theme.
If you are choosing the yellow, black and white you needn't add a complementary color i.e. for your wedding invitation fonts or bridal accessories, one of the three colors can act as a complementary color.The black, yellow and white combination is ideal for the couple who are hosting an indoor dinner reception at a hotel or ballroom.
Yellow + The Blues
Blue happens to be almost everyone's favorite color. It is invokes a feeling of rest and relaxation in our minds and make's one feel at peace. When combining yellow with the blues you have two choices of blues that you can use either tiffany blue or navy blue otherwise known as diplomatic blue.

Gold can be used as an accent color if you are using a dark shade of blue, for the lighter shade of blue like tiffany the color white would be ideal.
Yellow + Grey + White
Another yellow color trio that could work really well is yellow, white and grey. Grey is timeless. It is a color associated with sophistication and control. Although sometimes frowned upon because of its solemn nature grey when combined with yellow and white represents a beautiful wedding palette and is ideal for the trendy pastel obssesed bride. The color combination of yellow, grey and white is ideal for brides and groom who: Are totally out of the box ( how grey wedding have you been to?) Who want to create a timeless wedding.
