A photographic floral design interwoven with images of gems and pearls, it beautifully captures the romance of the occasion and with everything from invitation to decorations, style every part of your day to perfection. Gone are the days of picking just one or two colours for your wedding palette, as couples get more experimental with their selection using a range of 4 or 5 colours. To build the perfect palette, starting with two light colours such as a beautiful blush or cream, next adding in a darker colour such as navy or charcoal. Finally incorporate a highlight colour or two such as peach or cornflower blue! SEASONAL STYLING More couples are starting to incorporate the season that they will wed into their stationery be that with spring blooms, autumn leaves or wintery snowflakes. Building your theme around your season will give a small taster and authentic feel to what your guests should expect. BOTANICAL Flowers may traditional part of the wedding day, but modern couples are turning to a more laid back rustic approach. Foliage, ferns and wild blooms offer an effortless and beautiful botanical look – elegant rather than glamorous. The result is a clean and minimal finish that works perfectly with wooden elements, metallic props and string lighting.
