Your North West Wedding- February / March 2021 (Issue 66)

LOVELY PASTELS Romantically subdued hues. Signs and birdcages look great hung around the venue and are a clever way of incorporating your colour scheme. You could also hire hanging lanterns. These are a fun way of lighting up any space and come with intricate patterns in a variety of hues. “Pastels are a great base to work with as the colours compliment each other, whether it’s lilac, pink, yellow or blue. Think about a common hue that can be used as the base that will complement other shades such as sage.” – Donna from Pure Elegance Weddings & Events. “Pick your colour palette and a pastel variation and make sure you stick to them. If you go for pale tones, avoid adding a brighter hue into the mix as this can ruin the aesthetic. Pastel shades are normally associated with spring so use seasonal flowers or natural garden roses to add a soft, natural feel to your wedding.” – Bethany from Flowers by Jemma Holmes. “Less is absolutely more, go for less foliage and more flowers to create this look. Team with local hand-dyed silk ribbons for the bouquets that will complement your hues and enrich the romance. Simple blooms placed in a bowl can be used as table arrangements and add timeless elegance and a deep scent. Keep your décor simple with candlelight throughout.” – Sam from Free Range Floristry. “The finishing touches make a big difference at a pastel wedding, with things such as ribbons on your name cards, balloon arches or the icing on your cake bringing everything together. Soft accessories such as pearls will add a hint of glamour to your décor.” – Bethany from Flowers by Jemma Holmes. www.kirs tenplatt.co.uk and www.pur eeleg anceevents.co.uk www.kirstenplatt.co.uk an d www.pureeleganceevents.co.uk www.free rangefloristry.co.uk www.flow ersbyjemmaholmes.co.uk www.flow ersbyjemmaholmes.co.uk www.flow ersbyjemmaholmes.co.uk www.free rangefloristry.co.uk www.kirs tenplatt.co.uk and www.pure elega nceevents.co.uk 46
