Using Colour In Your Wedding

A beautiful way to set your wedding day style apart from the crowd is with the use of colour. This season bold bright colours are just as popular as traditional pastel shades, from hair accessories with brightly coloured butterflies to simple crystal earrings in jewel tones.

Many of the styles that we have in our current collections are available in the 36 colours from our colour chart, so you are sure to find something to match the colours that you have chosen for your Bridesmaids and the rest of the wedding. If you cannot find the colour that you are looking for please enquire about our free colour matching service.

Where colour was once only used for bridesmaids’ dresses, designers are now using colour for Wedding dresses. Charlotte Balbier features a beautiful lemon coloured wedding dress in her current collection, and Alfred Angelo have several dresses with colourful trims, sashes and necklines.

Many Asian brides traditionally wear red on their wedding day, as a symbol of good luck and it is a colour that is fast becoming a trend in the UK particularly for winter weddings or for brides who want to look different. With this in mind we have added a range of new colourful hair flowers for brides who love colour including these red flower hair pins, a red peony hair clip, a merlot coloured orchid and a beatiful pink floral hair clip.

Other key colours this season are pale pinks like our popular shade called Vintage Rose, turquoises and Aqua like our pacific opal; bright colours like Fuchsia, and all shades of purple from soft lilac to deep amethysts and Aubergines.

More unusual colours like orange, olive and navy are also emerging as sophisticated Bridesmaid looks.

Many Brides choose to have some colour in their jewellery for a contemporary look or to reflect their birthstone. Below is a Swarovski colour chart reflecting this tradition. Brides can use our bespoke design service to create colourful and exotic pieces or just change the shade of a few crystals. The only limit is your imagination.
