This season’s wedding colour themes

With the 2013 wedding season well and truly upon us we thought we’d share some of this year’s colour themes in case you’re looking for some inspiration. Certainly after the dreary winter and spring we've had it seems that vibrant colours are the order of the day.

When it comes to wedding décor and floral arrangements, we've seen lime green and hot Caribbean tones (vibrant purple, turquoise and orange) all making an appearance. 

Of course there’s still a strong interest in the traditional and very, elegant white.

Also, more and more brides are opting to use seasonal flowers and foliage at their wedding to get more from their décor budget.  As the yellows and blues of spring come to an end, we’re looking forward to the hotter colour pallette of the summer – reds, oranges and purples.

Rethinking the non-alcoholic drinks options at weddings and parties

We've noticed that more and more people are scaling back on their alcohol consumption, even at

celebrations and parties.  The success of the anti-drink:drive campaign, health concerns around alcohol and a general public mood towards moderation means that the non-alcoholic drinks option at weddings and parties is rising in demand. 

Historically this has formed rather a dull alternative with orange juice and sparkling water the stalwart offering.  But this need not be the case.  Exciting non-alcoholic drinks from cocktails to unusual fruit cordials have blossomed in recent years.  

We've been concocting and serving our client’s guests with mouth-watering fruity cocktails,  freshly pressed apple juice and mint punch with crushed ice, a variety of elderflower based pressés and impressive fruit juice fountains.

So if you want your celebration to be a bit different and want to rethink the non-alcoholic drinks option, do get in touch for some exciting alternatives.
