‘It is always better to be slightly underdressed’ – Coco Chanel
Detail makes the difference and a theme agreed upon between you and your partner sets the tone for your wedding day, making it memorable for yourselves, friends and loved ones.
Vintage, peacock, beach-themed or fairy tale, are a few of the more common themes. More stylised, with a huge array of possibilities for wedding party attire, cake and decor are a Chanel or Grace Kelly theme, a movie theme, a vineyard wedding or opting for a personalised theme by introducing your favourite flower or bird.
The vibrant colours of our carnival themed photoshoot provide plenty of inspiration or set the mood by going for your favourite hues.
Mid-blue tones like cerulean, the pastel Aquafresh, purplish wisteria, peachy nude, and peach with coral undertones are among the favourites in the 2014 fashion colour palette. Statement canary yellow, orangey tangerine, and the bright expression cherry red are also among next season’s top fashion colours. Although they may be less favourable than pastel shades, bright colours can be used as accents in flowers and accessories.
Any theme can be chosen but keeping a few tips in mind helps ensure your wedding runs smoothly and that you don’t fall into tackiness. Whatever the theme, keep elegance in mind and keep things simple because it is you who must shine not your dress or jewellery.
It is also essential that you know your budget and plans smart. Money constraints can lead to spur-of-the-moment purchases not fit for your elegant self. Research your wedding suppliers well making sure they will cater for everything that you wish for and write down your expenses to ensure you’re not left with a hefty bill.
