Your North West Wedding - February/March 2025 (Issue 90)

Bright and bold “Select a vibrant colour palette that evokes happiness and energy. To keep the palette cohesive, choose two or three main colours and one or two accent shades. This will ensure that the colours complement each other without overwhelming the senses. Opt for bold flower containers or vases that match your theme. Metallic or iridescent finishes can add a touch of elegance and sparkle to the arrangements. While it’s tempting to go all out with flowers everywhere, focusing on a few key arrangements can create a bigger impact. Consider making a statement with an extravagant ceremony arch or a centrepiece for the reception to really show off a colourful extravaganza. This allows you to allocate your budget to areas that will have the most visual impact.” – Abbey from Fleurs&Ink Floristry. www.milliebuds.co.uk “Don’t be afraid to try bright and vibrant colours together; the outcome will often surprise you. Try out different-shaped designs, maybe a long bouquet or a split arch made to look like it is growing out of the floor with branch-like twines interwoven into vibrant bright colours. Be playful with this theme. Those quirky finds that you imagine couldn’t possibly fit, there is a way.” – Amy from MillieBuds. “Depending on how big you want to go with colour, I recommend choosing five to six colours that complement each other. You can add more tones in softer shades to create the balance you are looking for. If you want big and bold, consider hiring coloured tablecloths, as this will make a big impact on the space, alongside tableware such as coloured plates, cutlery, glassware, linen and candles. If you’re looking for a more subtle look, use neutral table linen and add pops of colour through the flowers, napkins, candlesticks and glassware. Your colour palette should weave through all of the elements.” – Maria from Detail Event Styling & Design. www.detailstyling.com & www.clairebasiuk.co.uk www.thekensingtonphotographer.co.uk & www.jemmakhan.com www.designhutweddingandeventstyling.co.uk “This theme can be as colourful as you dare; go wild with the brightest array of colours. You can easily match any dress and bouquets to this style and a dull room can be brought to life with a rainbow of colours. Enhance your theme with quirky decorations such as disco balls, signage and candles. Finish with matching chair sashes, drapes and tableware.” – Debbie Talbot from Design Hut Wedding & Event Styling. “Complementary colours are pairs that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel. These combinations bring drama and depth to your wedding flowers while staying beautifully balanced. For an autumn wedding, imagine rich burgundy dahlias paired with lush green foliage, or for a spring celebration, vibrant lavender flowers offset by sunny yellow accents. Complementary schemes are striking yet harmonious, perfect for a wedding that’s both bold and sophisticated. If you love the timeless elegance of neutral tones but still want a pop of colour, an accent colour is your answer. This approach works beautifully with classic green and white palettes but can also adapt to brighter combinations. Add a splash of coral, peach, or cerulean blue for a playful twist that’s perfect for a fun wedding. For couples who love to go big with their ideas, rainbow wedding colours are pure magic. This scheme uses the full spectrum of colours, creating a playful, vibrant, and joy-filled atmosphere. The key here is balance – by carefully considering tone and texture, you can create a look that’s bold without being chaotic.” – Jemma Khan from Jemma Khan Studio. www.samanthabroadleyphotography.co.uk www.fleursandinkfloristry.co.uk 56
