Modern day romance
Lush, vibrant, and every bit what a modern luxe garden party should be, this magical setting is bursting with romance.
Combine a neutral palette of toffee, blush pink and soft dove grey with punchier hues like rich magenta and sage green for a luxurious feel. A colour palette that features just two hero colours lends itself beautifully to a whimsical garden setting.
Use floral headpieces to bring your colour palette to life and create impact with your bridal attire. Instead of a floral garland or crown, ask your florist to craft a unique headpiece out of fresh flowers that harmonise with your theme and palette. For a dramatic effect, cluster large blossoms on a hair comb and slide into a styled up-do. Communicate your intentions to your hair stylist ahead of time – this will help them plan a ‘do that will not only accommodate, but complement the creation.
Collect fabric swatches or ask for a Pantone chart from an art supply shop to ensure your colour palette’s consistency across the board. Bring these with you during any meetings with vendors so you can communicate your wedding vision clearly and easily.
Forgo the traditional basket of flowers for your flower girl to carry and craft a fragrant pomander ball instead. When dried out, it will act as a special keepsake to remind her of the important role she played on your big day.
Opulent glassware and sprigs of fresh blossoms create a striking contrast on a table set with soft, neutral-toned linens. Add brass candlesticks and gold cutlery for a more luxurious touch to your table settings.
