Pink and white flowers continue to be popular with many wedding planners going for muted colour schemes; however, 2025 also brings a shift towards more bold and vibrant colours to create eye-catching and striking arrangements. Whether you choose a traditional colour scheme or a more daring one– anything goes this year! #07. THE PERFECT CAKE FOR THE PERFECT COUPLE In 2025; the bigger the better!
