Beautiful Colour Schemes

Feather Elfwand

Take a look around your home. You’ve decorated in colours that are attractive to you. Why not use that to help plan the colours for your wedding? Here are some of our favourite choices for that special day:

Yellow: yellow is a great colour for summer weddings. Make sure to choose a range of yellows that have enough contrast to your bridal gown. Tulips and daffodils, daises and sunflowers - these are all great yellows to pull from. If you’re looking for some extra texture and interest add some blue or green.

Green: green goes will with almost any colour. By using an array of greenery you can se the foundation for a beautiful colour scheme. Mix and match with dark and light greens to add some variance. Greens can stand alone or add some subtle shades of your favourite colours.

Blue: this has long been a favourite for décor. It is also an very appropriate colour for outdoor weddings, where the sky or the water is a major element. Cornflowers, hydrangea or irises are all fabulous shades. Using shades of pink of bright green gives you added interest.


Purple: purple can look elegant and regal (think royalty) but take care. Dark purple colours can get lost in a dark room. Choose shades on the lighter side so they look exactly how you want them to.

Black & White: this is the ultimate scheme for sophistication. Groomsmen in black tuxes, bridesmaids in elegant black gowns - the bride in any shade of gown she chooses. You can add some other colours to brighten it up, or keep it white and black for simple elegance.

    Purple and lime green look amazing together! It’s what I had at my own wedding.
