In the midst of spring, we just can’t help getting a little excited about the beautiful bright colours that are going to carry us through to the autumn. Lemon yellow is bang on trend this season and we love it! Choose the more zingy shades if you want something vibrant and uplifting. There are plenty of beautiful blooms to fit the bill, and this great colour looks as dreamy in a countryside setting as it does in a contemporary city venue. Versatile and all together gorgeous… let’s be inspired by some yellow wedding ideas.
Starting with Stationery
Introduce guests to your chosen colour and style by finding the perfect invitation and carrying it through to your orders of service, table plans and place cards.
Lemon yellow combines beautifully with pale grey and kraft paper for an informal invitation.

Accompanying yellow with a deeper shade of grey would carry the colour scheme through to autumn and winter months.

Setting the Scene
From ceremony decorations to dance floor details, plan the style that runs through your day.
While many of us won’t have an outdoor ceremony, flowers can be introduced both inside and out. Line your aisle with yellow blooms or simply scatter petals.

Dressing for the Day
Whatever your chosen colour, always introduce it in to your bridal fashion. While you might not decide to wear a yellow dress, it’s a fabulous choice for bridesmaids and for accessories.
Choosing yellow dresses for your bridesmaids immediately introduces the colour to your ceremony. They might prefer to wear a softer shade and carry more vibrant flowers.

Thinking about Flowers
Nature has plenty to offer when it comes to yellow. Add a hint of yellow to white flowers, or be bold with an abundance of colour.

Designing the Details
Often it’s the smaller details that make all the difference. From favours and cakes to balloons and cocktails, pop in hints of lemon yellow where you can.
Think about your wedding photographs. Giant balloons make wonderful props!

Of course there’s nothing to stop you introducing your colour scheme to your menu! Drinks are a particularly easy way to add colour, either by creating your own cocktails or choosing a branded drink that fits the bill.
