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.
