Ah, summer, when love is in the air.
Maybe it’s because you and your honey are seeing other blissed-out couples tying the knot. Maybe you’re just on a sunshine high after all those months of darkness.
Whatever it is, people seem to get engaged in the summer. And after that proposal or ‘what the hey, let’s get hitched’ moment in Banff, your thoughts soon turn to planning.
What will you wear? What flowers will you use? What will the tables look like?
What’s central to all these things? Colour.
And while you might have just gotten engaged, I encourage you to start thinking about your colours now.
Invitations are a great place to start as they set the stage for your entire wedding. Are you a flashy type? Minimalist? Do you have a signature colour?
Here are a couple 2014 trends to get you thinking:
With the launch of the Great Gatsby movie, everything 1920s-inspired is going to be big. Think art deco and over-the-top glam in gold, black, and champagne.
Bright colours will still be huge, as will patterns, and a chevron or damask pattern gives you a chic way to incorporate all those blues, purples, and yellows into your colour palette.
On the topic of colour, I just did the Color me Rad 5km race in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital here in Edmonton! I’m always on the lookout for inspiration, and what better way than getting pelted by color bombs while running for a good cause? I also just found out that you can support the Stollery through your wedding. To find out how, click here .
