Listen Up… We Have the Scoop on Colour for 2014!

If you’re in the midst of planning your wedding you’ll be very aware of the important part colour plays in the run up to the big day. Most couples planning their nuptials will decide on a main colour theme for their wedding as it gives the day a sense of continuity and occasion. Once a colour has been chosen it starts to feature everywhere…. The flowers, the bridesmaid dresses, the table setting and of course the confetti.

We love colour here at Shropshire Petals which is why we are so excited to share 2014’s hot colour trend with you!

2014 is all about different shades of the same colour!

Having a main colour is great but who says you have to stick to just one hue? Next year will be all about incorporating different tones and shades into your wedding, an idea we just love!

We really like this way of using colour so we’ve been having a think of ways you could recreate it for your wedding…

If your main wedding colour is pink for example, why not dress your bridesmaids in varying shades from the deepest cerise to the palest baby pink. This theme could be continued by using pink flowers during the ceremony, introducing a different shade of pink to each table setting and of course choosing our own mix and match confetti to throw for your confetti shot.

To fit in with a shades of pink theme why not opt for a mix of ‘Candyfloss’, ‘Raspberry Fool’ and ‘Cerise’

Or perhaps each of your bridesmaids, all looking pretty in pink of course, could have a different shade of confetti each. This way your different shades of confetti can mix prettily in the air as the bride and groom walk underneath.

A lot of our confetti mixes already incorporate this brilliant use of shade. Our â€˜Summer Sky’ confetti incorporates deep â€˜Frosted Blue’ delphiniums and light â€˜Duck Egg’ blue hydrangea petals. With two different shades of blue our ‘Summer Sky’ confetti mix would fit in perfectly with 2014’s colour trend!

Pick and mix from our other blue confetti mixes for even more shades!

With our mix and match option creating your own confetti mix to include as many shades as you like is easy peasy. If you have a purple wedding theme then choose ‘Midnight Blue’, ‘Amethyst’ and ‘Wisteria’ for a punch of purple confetti!
