Wedding Colours - Coral

Coral and variations like peach and apricot were big colours in 2013 and will continue to be massive in 2014.  It can be combined with other colours like grey, mint, gold or white or you can go all out and have it as your main colour.  It also lends itself well to beach weddings which are becoming more and more popular with couples (including myself and my other half!) who are opting for a more relaxed and informal wedding.

 



 

Coral can work well whether you have dark hair or fair hair, have a light skin tone or a dark skin tone, it's a very versatile colour.

 

 

Perhaps one reason why it lends itself so well to weddings, is that according to colour psychologists coral is just one of the colours we associate with romance.  The shades of coral which have more pink in them are more associated with love and the shades with more orange in them suggest fun and playfulness. 

 

 

To me, coral and the colours that pair well with it suggest relaxing and peaceful and when I look at the different coral shades I feel a warmth coming from them.

Wedding themes - Art Deco

As well as looking at wedding colours, I'll also be looking at a number of different wedding themes on the blog.  First up it's Art Deco

A lot of wedding themes are inspired by tv, books and film and this theme is no different, the inspiration being the popular film (and book) the Great Gatsby.  Starting in the 1920s and running right through to the late 1940's Art Deco can be characterised by rich colours, geometric shapes and lavish decoration.  To me, its screams luxury and glamor!

Art deco influence can be seen in many wedding dress designs this year and has also had an influence on the grooms attire.  Just look at all that pretty detailing on the back of this wedding dress....

This lovely cake and cage for wedding wishes or cards from your guests are great subtle ways of introducing art deco in to your wedding.....

These hair accessories and pieces of jewellery are beautiful, I particularly like the earrings and the beautiful ring. 

 

You can also find wedding invitations, place cards and gift tags all inspired by art deco to see your theme right through.  Head on over to my shop on etsy and you can find some lovely black, white and gold art deco inspired stationery.

 

Art deco is going to be a big trend for 2014.  It's one of my personal favourites and if I wasn't getting married abroad I would definitely be going for this sort of look - unfortunately it doesn't quite sit right with a beach wedding!
