Eat and drink pink!

Here we are at the end of week of perfect pink prettiness. Too many 'p's for you? Too bad! Complete the pink theme with your food, drinks and cake.

Cake
Too much pink might be a little much for your guests' eyes. Ask your cake designer to adorn your tasty creation with sugar flowers, or consider a single pink layer? Less is more!

Lolly Tables
Pink and lollies seem to pair well. Why? We don't know. But we do enjoy chomping on a pink sweet! The key to this look is delicate glass jars, cute signs, and of course, pink treats!

Pink glasses, cups, straws, or even a signature cocktail will put the pink into your drink.

Pretty In Pink

In some cultures, it is believed that if the bride gets married in pink their spirits will sink. We are here to put this myth to rest. Did you know that 27 per cent of 18 to 24 year old brides choose those rosier hues for their bridesmaids? Pastel pink dresses seems to be a popular choice influenced by celebrities such as Gwen Stefani, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel, but those hot pink shades look just as glamourous.

Pink has always been a good complimentary colour for a white wedding gown. The colour is connected with a fairy tale and is an easy match with all flowers and decorations. Pink gives a warm harmonious and romantic atmosphere, perfect for the occasion.

Pink is flattering for most skin tones and the colour also compliments different body shapes. Whether you decide to have matching gowns or variations among your bridesmaids, this is a colour all your girls will agree on.

Pink pretties
Pink is perhaps one of the most popular choices for wedding flowers. This suits us just fine as they look stunning. Mix bolder hues with pastel pinks in simple vases for a beautiful display.

Colour palette highlight: orange and grey

We've been featuring a lovely lot of orange wedding inspiration this week. Just because Autumn is almost over, does not mean that orange cannot be used in the colder months. Here is our very favourite orange colour palette that is perfect for the cooler months ahead.

Orange and grey is becoming a popular colour scheme for weddings, and no doubt does it look fantastic! Grey can really make the orange colour pop no matter what shade you use, and the grey is a perfect colour for the upcoming cold weather.

Palette Inspiration! Using orange as an accent colour

This week is all about orange and we have some more ideas on how to include it in your wedding.

Orange can be quite bright, and occasionally overbearing, which sometimes turns brides away from using it in their colour scheme. But orange is beautiful and vibrant colour, it is perfect for accents. Think subtle apricot coloured bridesmaid gowns and soft peach coloured roses for an elegant and romantic Autumn wedding. These softer orange hues can be used subtly for a natural and warm wedding look. Here's our recommendations ...

Bridesmaids dresses

If orange is your favourite colour, why not choose to have your bridesmaids wear orange? There are so many shades to choose from so you can go as bright or as subtle as you like!

Floral arrangements

Beautiful blooms come in many shades of orange. Roses, carnations and gerberas are a few favourites, which look fantastic in bouquets or to decorate your wedding venue.

The devil is in the details

Don't let orange overwhelm your wedding. For brighter hues of orange, try and stick to subtle accents, like on a cute stripy straw, or the icing of cupcakes?
For a pastel orange, you can be a bit more heavy handed and it won't cause a fuss. Dinnerware, tableclothes, and elegant flower arrangements are just a few of many options.

Palette Inspiration: Orange!

May is just about finished, and we're sadly waving goodbye to the glowing months of autumn. This is a beautiful time of year, where the dewy sunlit days and vibrant colour changes in the leaves are truly extraordinary. To celebrate our last week of Autumn, we're going to share some fabulous ways to incorporate our favourite rusty hues into your wedding.

When thinking about Autumn, warm and earthy colours such as orange, yellow, rust, and brown come to mind. Here are a few examples from previous weddings that have embraced this warm colour.

Embrace Bohemia!

Deep orange hues are well suited to our bohemian brides. We love this combination of floral headpieces and the russet tones of the bridesmaids' dresses.

Pastel Perfection

For a sly touch of orange, use it as a complimentary colour in your cake design. The mismatch of patterns is subtle but captivating.
