Styling a colourful wedding? Here's all the inspiration you need
The first day of summer has been well awaited across the whole of England after a wet and windy start to the year. To celebrate its arrival, we are sharing all of the bold, bright and beautiful inspiration around hosting a colourful wedding during the summer months.
If you’re a colour lover, it only makes sense that you would want to be surrounded by lots of it during your special day. However, it can sometimes be hard to visualise how to bring so many contrasting colours together seamlessly. Luckily, Angel and Dan showed us exactly how to perfect the art of it when they got married at The Old Hall Ely earlier this year.
Having Fun with Florals
During spring and summer, the entrance to The Old Hall Ely is dressed beautifully in Wisteria, adding an element of colour before you even bring your own touches to your day.
We believe your flower arrangements are one of the most stunning features of your day. Line the aisle, arch the entranceways and don’t forget those beautiful bouquets! For Angel and Dan’s day, we saw pops of purple, pink, peach, orange and white throughout all of their florals, which really helped to bring their vision to life.
Table Toppers
Aside from the gorgeous floral centrepieces upon each table, there are some incredible additions you can add to impress your guests at dinner. Smaller vases, vibrant candles, pretty plates and luxurious linens can all be inventive ways to make your sitting stand out.
Pyjama Party
With weddings, it truly is in all of the details! We absolutely loved Angel’s idea of her bridal party parading around in their vibrant matching PJ sets the morning of the wedding. Not only did it set the tone of the day off in the right way, the array of shades made for the most fun group pictures, that will no doubt be cherished amongst the girls forever.
Bridesmaid Beauty
In recent years, we’ve seen bridesmaids move away from matching dresses to multiways and stand-alone styles. As you can imagine, the bridesmaids certainly looked breathtaking when they each made an appearance in their individual pieces – showcase shades of sage and olive green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, bright pink and pale pink florals.
The possibilities really are endless when it comes to creating your own colourful wedding day, and if this hasn’t left you feeling inspired, we don’t know what will!
If you would love to visit The Old Hall Ely to see how we could be the perfect venue for your showstopping day, we are opening our doors on Monday 26th August for our next Open Day and would love to see you there!
