A Lilac Love Story
Contemporary and whimsical, offset this beautiful purple shade with green or warm, golden tones.
ㅤ
Purple, and all its wonderful hues, is the perfect colour for a wedding theme, and looks particularly striking when paired with traditional flower palettes like ivory, green and pink. Often associated with royalty, purple is both wonderfully understated and eye-catching at the same time, meaning those photographs are going to look spectacular when you flick through the photo album. To add interest, consider details like lace overlays, floaty tulle or touches of metallic detailing for a little extra shimmer.
Pretty in Pink
Romantic and timeless, it's no surprise that pink is one of the most popular palettes for a wedding scheme, especially for bridesmaid dresses.
ㅤ
Pink is another timeless choice. It's the colour of romance, and it symbolises love and tenderness. And when it comes to choosing the perfect pop of pink for your bridesmaid and flower-girl dresses, you'll be spoilt for choice. You may decide to keep it subtle with a soft shade of blush or peach, or why not make a statement with fuchsia or orange-pink coral tones? These provide the perfect backdrop for a bold bouquet of marigolds, dahlias, and gerbera daisies.
Something Blue
Calming, elegant, and classic, blue is a quintessential colour for weddings. And it can match seamlessly with the groom's entourage.
ㅤ
Calming, elegant and forever classic, blue can bring a sense of serenity to your wedding scheme, which is always welcome after the months of planning. And this sweet shade can work nicely as a scheme for both bridesmaid dresses and pageboy outfits — we love a matchy-matchy scheme look at Childrensalon. You can keep it light and airy with pale and pastel blues or create some drama with deeper shades of navy and sapphire to stand out.
