COLOUR PALETTES Marrying together the colours of your day begins here

You can’t go past neutrals for the calm-factor and the feeling of effortless elegance. But it doesn’t have to be boring, use a few colour variants and introduce textures and finishes that complement the soft hues. Delicate laces, dynamic layering or lots of tulle add interest to white bridal fashion. Wooden décor with shiny or brushed metals give an industrial and modern edge to the look and feel. If you seek a splash of colour, there really isn’t much that will fail you: soft cool blues, hot ruby red or pastel blush will all work well as accent hues with the coffee and cream base. Statement jewellery and semi- dramatic eye makeup adds to the attitude of this look. Keep lips neutral, classic and kissable with your favourite nude or a shade slightly more opaque than your usual everyday go-to colour of choice.
