Reader question.

Conveniently Ana's question ties into our next blog post (still in the draft stage.)

Q: My husband to be and me want to use our favourite colours in our wedding but his is ORANGE and mine is pink. How do I work with this?

A: There are a number of things you can do with colours in your decor and theming. For example why not have pink flowers with a soft orange ribbon around the base of a bouquet if you're wanting it in your bridal party or you can use a soft pink table runner (or napkins) with a mix of coral and orange flowers to create a centrepiece that 'pops' and still represents your colour choice. Alternatively you can negate the clashing by introducing a third middle-ground colour like a soft lemon, or a golden champagne. An accent of a navy or deep purple would also work well if you're looking to negate a decor explosion of bright colour. Though for some people a bright overload works with their personalities.

The most important thing to remember with decor and colour choices is to have it representing you as a couple. Don't go with sleek lines of black and white if your wardrobe represents the rainbow and your other half loves Hawaiian shirts - it will have your guests wondering who's wedding they really came to... so if orange and pink is your jive, you will find a way to make it work for you.

Stay inspired!
