We’re taking things nice and leisurely this week after the wedding of the lovely Christine and Luke at the weekend. Christine hired us for a wedding day management service only a week ago, and on Sunday we were at the Royal Chace Hotel in Enfield to make sure everything went smoothly. We’ll have photos and a full report from the day in a couple of weeks, but today I wanted to share our new design concept of grey, pink and purple.
A pink colour scheme is a popular choice for weddings, with pastel shades providing a soft and romantic back-drop. However, many brides feel it will look a bit too ‘fluffy’ for a modern wedding, whilst lots of grooms have a strong aversion to wearing a girly colour! So today we’ve created a modern and stylish pink-themed board that would be perfect for a city wedding and that will avoid those “I’m not wearing pink, it’s a girl’s colour” comments!
I’ve opted for a background colour of slate grey to add a subtle touch of masculinity, and used scatterings of vibrant pinks and purples to avoid the theme being too loud or girly. I’m thinking this wedding would be held in a chic urban space, with guests enjoying a relaxed post-ceremony cocktail hour and being entertained by a jazz band.
