Top Tips To Recreate This Colourful Wedding Look
don't hold back
Absolutely go for it! Don't be afraid of being different.
ADD YOUR PERSONALITY
The more personal, the better. You can customise your wedding look, your ceremony, and whatever feels right to you!

Using black can add a quirky edge to your colourful wedding. It makes the colours pop and adds depth. It can even balance out a busy color palette.
Colourful Forest Wedding at sherwood glade
This colourful forest wedding was styled by Caz at The Wedding Alchemist. She’s a queen at using her alternative vision to really bring an idea to life. The colours pop so brilliantly against the backdrop of Sherwood Glade – a stunning alternative wedding venue on the outskirts of Nottingham. The untouched space is perfect for an outdoor shindig or a micro-wedding. One of their onsite tipis was decorated into a rainbow heaven for this pair to retreat to after their picnic!
It's in the details...
Now, we’re suckers for some alternative wedding stationery… Look at this watercolour gorgeousness by Bluebell Press! Emily is a stationery genius, creating these colourful beauties for the menus, invitations and table plans. They sit proudly on the stationery stands from Bramble Sky.
