Greenery Wedding Theme

One of our favourite palettes this year is this elegant, earthy greenery theme. Perfect for autumn/winter (although we wouldn’t tell spring brides to rule it out either!), a greenery theme can be integrated in to every part of the Big Day from invites to bouquets to the cake! Bouquets consisting of eucalyptus and simple white flowers will be a clean and fresh addition to the bride’s and bridesmaids’ looks, while garlands of greenery can be placed everywhere from archways to chair backs and even table runners for a romantic, organic feel.

Purple & Mixed Berry Palette

This fresh palette of rich hues is perfect for an autumn wedding. Purple has always been a popular colour for Irish weddings because of its regal, timeless feel but this is the year to mix up your shades and make it all the more modern. It’s fairly easy to integrate purple into wedding decor, and bridesmaid dresses take care of themselves, but take it up a notch by serving beautiful berry cocktails and topping your wedding cake with a mixture of fresh berries to really make your theme stand out.

Soft Neutrals

This fresh and ethereal palette of neutral tones will work for weddings at any time of the year and is so simple to integrate into decor if you have an easy hand. Keep bridemaids in greys or ‘nude’ tones and try to pare back flowers to include soft browns and off-whites. This palette is all about soft colours that flow together so resist the urge to sneak in pops of colour at all costs!
