Four ways to build a theme, should you want one

ROMANTIC

For a timeless theme, you can’t go past the romance of gold, pale pink and cream. Soft pink florals with accents of cream and green help set the mood, complement­ed by delicate tableware and florals. Try cookies iced in pink as favours and rose gold accessorie­s for the bride. MELLOW LIPPY MATCH Long-Wearing Matte Lipstick in Nude, $19, gives natural warmth and a subtle rosy tone.

GATSBY

For a glamorous gathering in the depths of winter, channel the 1920s with deep velvety reds accented by gold accessorie­s and glassware. Peaches- andcream flowers and plenty of candles help set the Art Deco-inspired mood. MELLOW LIPPY MATCH Try Long-Wearing Matte Lipstick in New York, $19, for its deep and sexy vibrance and velvety smooth finish.

GARDEN PARTY

A soft palette of green and cream, rambling blooms and romantic yet rustic décor are the hallmarks of this popular theme. DIY- style signage, a smattering of wicker or wood items and natureinsp­ired accessorie­s will help your big day look elegant yet effortless. MELLOW LIPPY MATCH Long-Wearing Matte Lipstick in Posh, $19, has a moisturisi­ng finish that completes any style. Available at Farmers and mellowcosm­etics.com.

FIESTA

Create a poolside vibe with

fresh, punchy colours and touches of tropicana. Shades of green, frosty pinks and splashes of yellow or orange are your go-to palette, while chunky glassware, colourful cocktails and plenty of greenery give a stylish update to the tiki bar. MELLOW LIPPY MATCH Try Long-Wearing Matte Lipstick in Blossom, $19, for a fun pop of highly pigmented colour – you’ll stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
