Grey, White and Orange

Enjoying proximity to nature, the sound of crashing waves and the natural orange-yellow hues of the sun –Beach weddings always make a perfect setting for a romantic wedding ceremony.  Here, Amish and Anika picked an unusual combination of orange and grey; using it throughout every element of their wedding. The beach-front wedding decor, the mandap and even the bride and groom’s outfits – every element had this gorgeous colour.

For the Brides-to-Be:Use the colour scheme not only for the flowers and drapesbut also incorporate it in your attires!

Sparkly Gold and Solid Black

How strikingly beautiful are these shimmery gold Grecian-styled bridesmaid dresses! We love how Rebecca and Vikram opted to go for something so out of the box. While most Christian brides go for solid coloursand stylish designs, Rebecca went the other way around. The all-over gold draped décor with warm yellow fairy lights went perfectly with her bridesmaid’s sparkly gold dresses. The sparkly dresses teamed with the boys’ carbon black suits complemented each other excellently.

For the Brides-to-Be: Experiment not only with colours and designs but also with the textures. The texture of a garment or drapes can act as the highlight, and you won’t need extravagant designs to make your colour-coordinated outfits/décor pieces look great.

Sheer Crystals and Pretty Pinks

Floral walls have become the talk of the town since the Kim-Kanye wedding, and we can guarantee that flowers never disappoint! And flowers in shades of pink and peach? Even more! Javed and Elisha decided to take their wedding decorup a notch with their view of a classy Walima. A silver embossed frame held gracefully fallen pink drapes with crystal glass chandeliers and an ellipse shaped wall with an abundance of fresh flowers.

For the Brides-to-Be: If there is one sure shot element that can make your wedding an elegant affair, it has to be flowers, pink flowers! Flowers and Weddings are like the two sides of one coin; one can’t do without the other. Why not take it to the next level with a never-seen-before floral arrangement with lots of pink.

Yellow, White and Green

If you asked us our favourite Indian wedding flower, it would undoubtedly be Marigold! Available in hues of yellow, orange and white, marigold flowers are versatile as they can be used foreverything between haldi ceremonies to the wedding décor. Neeraj and Poojawent all out desi with their flower choice that perfectly matched their green, white and yellow theme. Bright colourslike these give the entire ambiance a fresh feel.

For the Brides-to-Be: Opt for fresh colours like these if you’re hosting your wedding in a banquet hall or an indoor space. Use of darker colours will dampen the mood; whereas, vividhues will give a brighter, scintillating feel.

Traditional Red

We love this red-hued wedding which was all things traditional and classy. Whether it was the gorgeous bride’slehenga or the mandap itself, this shade of traditional red did not fail to add a touch of ethnicity and elegance to Amit and Payal’s wedding. Their drapes were adorned with sparkling lights and jasmine flowers that looked absolutely ravishing.
