Perfect Pastels - Mermaid Wedding Styling
We are loving this mermaid wedding colour scheme. Pastel pinks and purples with rich teals really pop against the seaside backdrop. Use seashells and the beach’s natural features to your advantage, and mix them with ‘human’ items like funky candleholders and earthy wicker baskets. Bring the magic with a sparkly tablecloth and quirky stationery and sweets.
"Kiss the Girl!" - A beachy Romance
Surely no beach day is complete without a dip in the sea! This couple is rocking the mermaid wedding look, complete with festival style face art and a glitter beard! Mer-people don’t do things by halves. We’re big advocates of expressing your personality and just going for it… how many other days will you be able to get dressed up like this?
