A Fresh Colour Palette

Springtime brings soft hues and bursts of new life into the year. Bringing these into your wedding colour palette will both complement and enhance the vibe of the season.  Think lavender, blush, and mint for a palette that complements the season’s natural beauty. Incorporate the iconic lavender of Provence into your decor from bouquets to table centrepieces and let this fragrant herb weave its magic throughout your celebration. Or add a burst of freshness with vibrant fruits. Romantic tones are perfectly blended with the bursting blooms of the natural surroundings at this time of year.
