Hot pink and navy are the perfect color palette for a preppy wedding. While hot pink is whimsical and romantic, the navy gives the look a foundation of timeless elegance, and together they create a wedding that's nothing less than a modern classic. Take things up a notch with plenty of stripes and polka dots for the perfect preppy wedding!
