Colours of the rainbow

So as a bride (or groom) planning your wedding, you will know that there is a wide variety of wedding colour themes to choose from.

Over the past few years we have seen three common colour trend; pink, purple and nude colours.

Well, not this year.  Here at Shropshire Petals, as you know, we LOVE colour, pink, blue, red, yellow, green, orange, purple – all the colours of the rainbow.  This is why over the past few months we have been excited to see what customers have been ordering – every order seems to be for a different colour theme.

2013 colour trends

We have been seeing bold, bright and pastel colours, as well as colour themes featuring mix of different colours.  Here are our top confetti mixes for some of the most popular themes:

Purple – as much as we have been seeing different colours being ordered, purple is still very popular.

Our tip – if you cant get the shade of purple to match your colour scheme, try mixing a few shades for a purple splash of colour.

Pink – there are many shades of pink; dusky, pale, hot pastel.

Our tip – for a subtle effect choose a pale pink mix or add some cerise rose petals for a bold shower of colour.

Green – green signifies nature, life, youth, safety and hope – the ideal colour to celebrate a newly married couple.

Our tip – there aren’t many natural green flowers so mix our pale green Envy petals with ivory or white petals for a delicate confetti mix.  If you want something with more vavavoom, add seasonal colours such as yellow for Spring, Blue for Summer, Aubergene for Autumn and Purple for Winter.

Yellow – yellow is such a fresh, light colour which works really well with a variety of colour themes.

Our tip – don’t be scared of mixing yellow with a totally different colour such as pink or even black – these would look beautiful on your confetti photos.

Blue – something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.  Blue is featured at every wedding somewhere so why not have your confetti as your something blue?

Our tip – place your chosen confetti mix in blue confetti cones to enhance the blue colour.

Teal and Tiffany Blue – is a very popular theme.  Unfortunately there are no natural teal or Tiffany Blue petal colours.

Our tip – as you won’t be able to get teal or Tiffany Blue flowers, mix with another colour such as hot pink for a stunning colour clash.

Multicoloured – many couples are having English Garden and country themes or themes with no colour scheme at all – the more colour the better.

Our tip – for multicoloured weddings choose a confetti mix with a variety of colours.
