DÉCOR Think about complementing your floral palette by adding napkin shades that pop, coloured glassware, lively dinner candles, and place cards and menus with bright details. You could add seasonal fruit to your table, fabric and crockery with floral prints or modern patterns, bright velvet dining chairs instead of wooden ones, and pick focal points of your venue for some installations of eyecatching artwork. The key is to create a palette that balances neutral and bold colours, so the hues each stand out beautifully on their own and complement one another in a way that doesn’t feel too cluttered or overwhelming. I’d also suggest that, if having a day that feels uplifting and vibrant is important to you, make sure you choose a venue with lots of natural light. Look for a location with plenty of outdoor areas and big windows and consider shifting your timeline so that more of the details can be enjoyed during the daytime. For the evening, why not get some cool uplighters or neon tubes in the shades you love – and continue telling that colour story up to the end of your celebrations.

You don’t have to go bold or heavy, but a soft lilac eye, bright coral cheek or a glossy pink lip will instantly transport you into the realm of healthy wedding day glow. And who doesn’t want that? Hair accessories are also a very quick and easy way to inject some colour and there are so many options! Fresh or dried flowers, hair jewels just to name a few. Added as a side clip to waves or a pop of colour in a bun, the ways to style hair accessories are endless. With so many little details it’s very easy to make sure your hair and make-up is as colourful and beautiful as you are. Alev Miller | Flaming Bride | www.flamingbride.com DRESS On your big day you want to create a statement look with something that sets you apart and expresses your personality and adding colour to your bridal attire can do just that! My personal favourite is adding different shades to a veil. All our bespoke dresses can have a custom-made veil created to compliment the look that can be as luxurious and full of wonderful details as the dress itself. The simplest way to add colour would be by wearing bright shoes. The extent to which your shoes will be on display on your wedding day will depend on the length and silhouette of your gown. It can be a subtle, occasional hint of bright pink under a ball gown, or a full-on view with a shorter midi-length design. Using coloured beading and gemstones or handmade details such as flowers or a bow are other stylish and sophisticated ways to add your chosen shade to your outfit. For a subtle touch, add a colourful lining or an underskirt to give your dress a multi-shade tone, such as blush or gold. For a cheekier interpretation of this, we could introduce bridal petticoats in crinoline for the perfect pop of colour. This works perfectly with a short hemline and would add a stunning casual vibe to an informal wedding.
