LOVE STORY

What’s new in the world of weddings, plus ideas to spark your imagination.

ULTRA PRETTY

Pantone’s 2018 Colour of the Year has us seriously inspired. Ultra violet – a wedding-worthy hue that, when styled right, is all kinds of glam. Our favourite way to incorporate it? With sparkling confections from a favourite jeweller that you can wear for years to come. A wedding day gift to yourself? Why not!

COLOUR BURST

The latest trend to reach our ears is a thrifty one. Instead of expensive, one-use blooms at the end of each row at the ceremony, opt for potted colour – then, plant the blooms after the big day, or hand them to helpers as gifts.

FOR HIM: SUITED UP

South Island soon-to-be-weds, rejoice! Iconic local menswear designer Murray Crane (cranebrothers.com) is set to open a brand new Crane Brothers store in Christchurch; the first in the South Island and a nod to his South Canterbury heritage.
