Weddings<br />
We’ve devised various wedding colour<br />
combinations and ideas to consider<br />
throughout the changing seasons<br />
Autumn/Winter<br />
There’s no need to play it safe with traditional dark<br />
colours - incorporate other hues to mix, brighten and<br />
break the rules, making the colours your own.<br />
Mix of Metal<br />
Spring/Summer<br />
If you’re looking towards a wedding next year then<br />
choosing suitable colours is a top priority. Take a look at<br />
our favourite tones for 2017.<br />
Citrus Style<br />
Pinterest - MODwedding<br />
Whether you’ve opted for<br />
simple block colours, such<br />
as black and white, or gone<br />
for more diverse hues such<br />
as aubergine, dark blue, dusk<br />
or mint, pair your signature<br />
colour with a twinkling of<br />
metal and you’re sure to<br />
glisten. Gold is a very popular<br />
choice, but copper is the<br />
stand-out winner for <strong>2016</strong><br />
into 2017. If you prefer<br />
silver, instead of adding more<br />
colours, pair with crisp white<br />
and lots of greenery for a<br />
glamorous winter-garden<br />
wedding feel.<br />

Touches of citrus add a<br />
playful, fun feeling. Add<br />
flashes of citrus colours<br />
to flowers, accessories or<br />
chair ribbons in colours<br />
such as lemon or orange for<br />
minimal colour injections.<br />
Alternatively, go all out!<br />
Lemon and grey are stunning,<br />
fresh and charming with<br />
grey offsetting yellow to<br />
make a harmonious colour<br />
combination. Cadmium<br />
orange with white, will<br />
complement the bridal gown<br />
and give you scope to mixmatch<br />
bridesmaid dresses.<br />
Gemstones Galore<br />
Simple, Subtle, Fresh<br />
Pinterest: Junebug Weddings<br />
Jewel-coloured tones<br />
are nothing new, but<br />
complement with brighter,<br />
pastel base colours to create<br />
a warm, vibrant aura and<br />
a feeling of decadence.<br />
Sapphire or navy with pale<br />
pink is a nice alternative to<br />
the traditional white and<br />
black, whilst merlot or deep<br />
ruby with beige is simple and<br />
elegant.<br />
Emerald alongside pearl<br />
and latte brown contrasts<br />
beautifully, add in a soft<br />
peach for autumnal<br />
perfection.<br />
Pinterest- Belle The <strong>Magazine</strong><br />
It’s back to basics for 2017<br />
- think uncomplicated.<br />
Grey is a standout tone for<br />
this year, team it with blush<br />
and ivory, coral, or powder<br />
blue with champagne and<br />
white for a softer take on<br />
traditional black. Look to the<br />
environment for inspiration<br />
to give a natural feel to your<br />
wedding. Dusty blue with<br />
white and peach is beautiful<br />
for a reception in a barn, or<br />
baby pink with lilac and sage,<br />
surrounded by simple white<br />
flowers would help bring<br />
nature into a church setting.<br />
