Top ways to incorporate COLOUR

1. Design an all-white wedding and utilize LED lighting in the room. Select a series of colour changes for your celebration and let the LED change the room colours throughout.

2. At your ceremony, have your bridesmaids carry all the same shape and size bouquets; but in different colours within the same colour palette. For example, roses in different shades of red, Gerber daisies in different shades of orange, mixed flowers in shades of cream and ecru and white.

3. Instead of using just a single colour at your wedding reception, embrace at least 2 complimentary colours (eggplant and olive, celadon green and olive green, purple and silver, white and cream, hot pink and orange, powder blue and purple), and alternate the tablecloths. Dress half of the room in one colour and half of the room in the other colour.

4. Instead of traditional seating plan, have cards made in the shape of leaves that can be hung from a tree at the cocktail area. Use one colour for the men’s cards (dark burgundy), another for the ladies (bright red) and another for children (orange). Use a gorgeous ribbon to hang the cards from a tree.

5. For some added texture at the table, use coloured napkins in different shades of the same colour palette.

6. Instead of the traditional black, silver, or gold ink on your invitations, consider having your printing and calligraphy done in a favourite colour of your choice: celadon green, olive green, oxblood red, navy blue, or hot pink. Select a colour to compliment your wedding look.

7. For added excitement to your room, divide the tables into three sections: one with tall centrepieces of one colour, another with low centrepieces in a complimentary colour and the third with a combination of low and tall centrepieces of mixed colours.

8. For a country-style wedding aisle, embrace Gerber daisies in a big way. Use just the head of the daisies to create a gorgeous aisle. Starting at the front of the aisle, place the daisies from the lightest colour to dark, and work toward the ceremony site.

9. For a lush and rich look, use coloured rose petals en mass to demarcate the aisle. The deeper in petals, the more lavish the look.
