If you come to me and say that you have based a styled rainbow wedding shoot inspired by unicorns then you are pretty much on a winner from the very beginning! So I’m super excited to share this styled wedding shoot at the Northstar Club, York, inspired by unicorns, rainbows and diversity.
All the colours of the rainbow
The team behind the styled rainbow wedding shoot was pulled together by Sarah from Offbeat Wedding & Events to celebrate the start of her new business. As Sarah explains –
“The colour scheme came from my love of unicorns and the multi coloured magical-ness of them. I also … wanted to show diversity and equality and the rainbow theme also coincides with the LGBT colour scheme too”
A moodboard was pulled together and suppliers were given free rein to design their own elements. The outcome? This kaleidoscope wedding of different colours!

Sarah's Top tips to acheive this look
a splash of colour
If you don't want full in your face colour, you can choose hints of colour in your stationery, flowers or confetti
its all about the shoes
Choose a fabulous pair of shoes to highlight your favourite colour. These were the models own but Irregular Choice are also a favourite
use your imagination
Don’t be scared to let your imagination run wild. On the day we threw in some pineapples and flamingos and they looked fantastic.
