When
choosing your colour palette, make sure you choose colours that suit your
personality, theme and venue. If you
have a very outgoing personality… chose brighter colours. Choosing a bright, bold colour and pairing it
with lighter shades of the colour and adding a light accent colour will create
a create palette to work with. Do not
just choose one colour for your wedding.
Choose 3 or 4 colours that compliment eachother!
Pantone has
revealed its top colors for the Spring 2014 season. The designers created a modern twist on the
traditional spring soft pastels and paired them with bright colours. Spring is such a lovely season for
Weddings. Usually Spring weddings are
full of pastels and watered down shades of colour. This year we will be seeing bright pops of
colour being incorporated in colour palettes.
Bright colours such as Yellow, Orange, Blue and Purple will be mixed in
with the pastel pinks, mints and blues traditionally seen in spring.
We will be
seeing bigger, bolder floral not only in bouquets but in centerpieces as
well. The use of large blooms, fruit and
succulents will be popular in floral design.
We are going to continue to see gold or silver within wedding
palettes. Cakes are going to become more
and more popular. Last year, cupcakes
and cake pops were very popular choices but this year we will see cakes making
a comeback. We will be seeing
hand-painted cakes, ombre cakes and naked cakes. We have been and will continue to see a lot
of personalization in all aspects of the wedding. Couples are putting their own personalities
into key elements to really make the wedding their own.
There are 3
very popular themes for this upcoming season.
The 1920’s, Rustic, and Bright Colours.
The 1920’s:
This theme
is a very sophisticated and elegant theme that became popular because of “The
Great Gatsby”. French champagne and
oysters served during cocktail hour is a great way to start off this evening of
sophistication. Accessorize your curve
hugging gown with a 1920’s style headband, bold jewelry and feathers. The glamorous and dramatic décor will include
monograms, crystals and feathers. You
will be seeing Art Deco style jewelry and designs on invitations and in décor. The colour palette typically used for this
theme would be black, white and gold. To
finish off the theme… arrive and leave in a Vintage Rolls-Royce.
Rustic:
The vintage
themes we have been seeing have been evolving into more of a rustic theme. Vintage lace, pearls and pastel type themes
remain popular but couples are really being drawn to the rustic barn or winery
type wedding. Keeping some vintage
elements and adding more rustic elements such as wooden signs, burlap, twine
and mason jars. Barns are in high demand
as a venue for this theme. The use of
wheat and wild flowers on tablescapes and in bouquets add to the theme. We will see a lot of handmade décor and
favours.
Bright
Colours:
The Pantone
colour of the year is Radiant Orchid. We
will be seeing brighter, bolder and more dramatic colours. Bright colours such as Yellow, Blue or Orange
paired with a more neutral colour like grey or a light brown will be seen. Using the bright colour chosen within every
detail of the wedding will pull everything together. Create signature cocktails in this
colour. Sugar flowers can be used on
cakes to provide the bright pops of colour.
There will be bold striped patterns being used on stationary and in
décor. Using the colour on the
invitation, in your accessories, in the floral and napkins creates those fun
and bold pops of colour throughout the wedding.
