These gentle colours create a dreamy ambience, perfect for outdoor ceremonies and romantic receptions. Every year when we talk about colour trends, greens never go away. They look stunning all-year round, from spring to winter.” – Joanna Ward, Inspiration Decor “In 2024, we’ll also see a rise in bold and vibrant colours. For those who love to make a statement, this will be the year of breaking free from traditional palettes and embracing unique details that reflect both style and personality. The use of bright, energetic colours will infuse the day with positivity and joy, creating a memorable experience for all.” – Joanna Ward, Inspiration Decor The Pantone colour of the year always influences the nation’s wedding suppliers who love the challenge of incorporating it in their wedding designs. 2023’s Viva Magenta took off like no other before it, so we can’t wait to hear what will be announced for 2024! Palettes Ashdown Events “While sage greens and dusky pinks have dominated wedding palettes in recent years we’ve seen more orange and brown tones appearing, and 2024 is predicted to bring a resurgence of bold and vibrant colours. We’ll see more couples choosing rich jewel tones, vibrant blues and striking metallic accents.” – Fiona Sharkey, Ashdown Events Inspiration Decor “As 2023 comes to an end, many weddings are beginning to embrace pops of colour with a surprising contender being yellow. We’ve noticed couples taking a step back from palettes filled with natural colours in favour of placing their focus on the statement hues within them. An ombre of different tones of yellow is a great way to interpret this, from soft pastel yellow to bright sunshine yellow, all the way to a deeper golden mustard. You can weave these tones throughout the day via your flowers, bridesmaids’ gowns, décor and stationery.” – Sally Gallis, Luna And The Lane While rust was proving popular for 2023 autumn and winter weddings, its softer spring/summer counterpart is looking likely to take weddings by storm in 2024. Think coral, peach, blush and gold. Simply stunning! Luna And The Lane Luna And The Lane © www.jordanmansfieldweddings.com VENUE STYLING 67
