1. Greenery

Natural and simple, Greenery is the colour for 2017. Ideal for natural, rustic and outdoor weddings. Combine it with brights, pastels and earthy tones for a pretty wedding colour scheme. 

As green and blue colours look fantastic together, a mix of different blues and ivory in smaller petals and green hydrangea petals are perfect for a bold contrast.

Our favourite mix for a Greenery wedding theme is Icing Sugar, Blue Bird, Frosted Blue and Envy.

2. Niagara

Comfortable and dependable, this colour is inspired by Niagara Waterfalls. Mix with pastel colours for a soft colour scheme.

Our favourite mix for a Niagara colour scheme is Frosted Blue, Candy Floss and Duck Egg.

3. Primrose Yellow

Warm and joyful, Primrose Yellow is a fun, bright colour that will be really popular this spring. Make the yellow really stand out on your wedding day by mixing it with ivory and Greenery. You can choose details in all three colours and mix & match for a pretty springtime feel.

For your confetti, make the colours pop by choosing ivory as a base and adding yellow and green.

Our favourite mix for a Primrose Yellow theme is: Icing Sugar, Golden Slumber and Envy.

4. Lapis Blue

Bold and confident, this vibrant colour will be seen throughout 2017. Perfect for blue colour schemes as it looks stunning when combining with other blue tones.

Our favourite mix for a Lapis Blue colour scheme is Frosted Blue, Icing Sugar, Blue Bloom, Duck Egg and Blue Bird.

5. Flame

Fun and flamboyant, Flame is perfect to use for contrasting with other tropical colours such as Pink Yarrow. Choose confetti to really make a colour splash on your photos.

Our favourite mix for a Flame wedding theme is Ginger Snap, Raspberry Fool and Clementine.

Why not use the same confetti mix to add some extra detailing to your reception tables by sprinkling some on crisp white tablecloths for a bold colour pop!

6. Island Paradise

The name lends to itself, the colour of water in paradise. This colour works perfectly with other tropical bright colours such as Flame, Greenery and Pink Yarrow. Spring 2017 is going to see a lot of tropical themed weddings, making Island Paradise the perfect choice for a colour scheme.

Our favourite mix for an Island Paradise theme is Duck Egg, Icing Sugar and Golden Slumber.

7. Pale Dogwood

Romantic and feminine, this soft pink colour looks stunning on its own or combined with bright colours. For a more subtle wedding colour theme, mix Pale Dogwood with some ivory and add in a few brighter details to your wedding day.

Our favourite mix for a Pale Dogwood theme is Pink Lemonade.

8. Pink Yarrow

Tantalising and festive, Pink Yarrow is perfect for festival themed weddings this spring. You can really have some fun with this colour by teaming it with other bright colours or different pink tones. We love a bold confetti moment; so choosing a bright block colour looks fantastic.

Our favourite mix for a Pink Yarrow theme is Cherry Blossom.

9. Kale

Fresh and floral, Kale is perfect for spring weddings as foliage in floral arrangements tend to be this colour. Mix it with one or two bolder colours such as Primrose Yellow and Flame, or keep it simple by complimenting it with Pale Dogwood. For your confetti, we recommend contrasting this colour scheme with a simple ivory look to make the Kale hues in your bouquet stand out.

Our favourite mix for a Kale theme is Icing Sugar.

10. Hazelnut

Earthy and neutral, this colour is a classic with contemporary elements. Combine this pretty colour with other neutral colours such as ivory and add in a touch of vibrancy for a chic look.

Our favourite mix for a Hazelnut theme is Cherry Blossom, Icing Sugar and Promise.
