Bridesmaid dresses - if you are going for a multi-pastel theme, having your bridesmaids in the same dress but different colours, if a fabulous was to carry the theme throughout the day.
Signage - simple whites or acrylics work brilliantly with this theme. Speak to your stationer about how they can help. Our acrylic signs are an ideal fit.

Top tips when applying this trend
1. Speak to your venue, caterer and florist to see what they can offer – it’s often cheaper than you think to switch out the traditional white and add a splash of colour.
2. Less is more! Consider what your colours with sit against. With you decor, only choose one or two accents to highlight. Keep everything else simple and muted, let them be the star of the show.
