Your South Wales Wedding - November/December 2024 (Issue 100)

46 “If you have a main colour, decide on all the key areas you will use it. Such as centrepieces, napkins, tablecloths, chair drapes, sashes and bouquets. You can then choose a more subtle colour to complement it, like ivory or white. Accents are also great if you want to add a splash of colour. It isn’t always necessary to cover everything in one primary colour! For instance, ivories and golds can be complemented with bright oranges or reds by finishing off the ends of your pews, tying ribbons around your napkins or adding flowers to the corner of your table plan.” – Paula Burns from Paula Burns Events and Weddings. www.ambiencevenuestyling.com & www.lauragracephotography.co.uk www.craigsmithphotographywales.com & www.coavenuedecor.co.uk “Make your day one of a kind. Those personal touches and unique elements will make it the wedding of the year. Trust your florist and venue decorator and their ideas. When you have good suppliers, your special day will seamlessly come together before your eyes.” – Hannah from Centre of Attention Venue Décor. “If you want to stick with colour throughout but are struggling to think of subtle shades, some great combinations are purple, grey and lilac; orange, yellow and brown; or royal blue, dusky pink and lilac. You can also add a touch of ivory with all these combinations. If you are brave with colour, don’t be afraid to mix things up. A rainbow theme can be extremely striking for ceiling or chair decorations.” – Paula from Paula Burns Events and Weddings. “Incorporate colourful glassware, vibrant centrepieces and bright napkins to make a real statement and wow your guests. Layering colours can create a rich and inviting atmosphere. Napkins with patterns are going to be a popular choice in 2025 and will carry through to 2026. Infusing your wedding with colour will create an ambience that is not only beautiful but also reflects your unique love story.” – Gill Prior from Ambience Venue Styling Cardiff. “As beautiful and popular as they are, not all weddings have to be classic sage green or blush pink. Why not opt for something a little different? Something that reflects you as a couple? A wedding full of colour can be a vibrant and joyful celebration, reflecting your personalities and tastes as a couple. To start, select a few main colours that will form the foundation of your design. We loved the teal, mustard and deep red combination that one of our brides recently chose and it worked so well. Choose flowers like peonies, dahlias or tulips (oh, and don’t forget the classic rose) in bright, fun colours. They look beautiful in your bridal arrangements, but for that added impact, use them in floral arches, backdrops or hanging installations; they can create a stunning focal point.” – Gill from Ambience Venue Styling Cardiff. www.welshchaircover.co.uk www.ambiencevenuestyling.com & www.lauragracephotography.co.uk www.paulaburns.net www.craigsmithphotographywales.com & www.coavenuedecor.co.uk “Choose a mixture of bold colours like fuchsia, turquoise and orange. Don’t be afraid to mix and match to create a lively atmosphere. You could also incorporate patterns like chevrons or polka dots to make your décor pop. Use colourful tablecloths, napkins, centrepieces, balloons, streamers and flowers to add to the vibe.” – The team at Welsh Chair Cover Company. BRIGHT AND BOLD “For your reception, incorporate fun elements like a colourful candy bar, a photo booth with vibrant props, or a lively dancefloor with colourful lighting.” – The team at Welsh Chair Cover Company.
