Your Herts and Beds Wedding - February/March 2022 (Issue 90)

FLEUR DE LACE Alice Verlaeck-Williams says, “Many couples worry about opting for a colourful wedding as they’re worried it won't look serious enough or that it might look like a kids party. Shove those worries aside as a colourful wedding would represent both of your relaxed personalities and fill your guests with joy. My biggest tip is not to hold back if you want to pimp your venue with a colour frenzy. Here’s a guide to help you create the ultimate colourful wedding! “I like to think of photographers when styling weddings, as they will capture the images and will have the same view as guests. They'll take pictures up the aisle, and a backdrop is a perfect way to create colour behind you while exchanging vows. Decorating chairs with pinwheels and ribbons are other great ways to add fun and colour to this space. https://nickisheaphotography.co.uk “If you have flowers at your wedding, these will hugely influence your colour scheme. We try to work alongside each florist to discuss the palette they're using because it often helps us select the perfect shades. “Continue the colour beyond the centrepieces and incorporate fun shades throughout the place settings. Why not use ribbons around the napkins or bright-coloured place names and favours? You can also tie ribbons around the cards box and add colourful tea lights to the cake table. “When it gets darker in the evening, the ceiling lights will help highlight lanterns and any other décor. Why not ask your DJ or band to add colour to the light sequences for their set, rather than just white lights?” Check out: www.fleurdelace.co.uk https://nickisheaphotography.co.uk “If you're having a multi-coloured wedding, don’t feel like you have to include every bright colour because you can ditch a particular shade. I had a wedding with a colourful rainbow theme, but the couple hated red and decided not to include it – the colours turned out perfect in the end. https://storyandcolour.co.uk https://bhaveshchauhanphotography.co.uk 52
