Choosing the right colour scheme for your big day doesn’t have to follow the rules – especially if a pandemic has bumped your wedding into a different season. If you’re now counting down the days to a January wedding that was supposed to be in May, does your colour scheme still stand? Will the flowers match the time of year? Will the venue decor fit the season?
They’re three questions you don’t need to worry about, according to events stylist CarrieAnn Tilley, who lives in Higham, near Burnley. She’s been styling weddings in Lancashire since 2018, when she launched CarrieAnn Tilley Bespoke Event Styling after taking the reins at her own wedding. ‘I try to tell couples not to worry about what season it is,’ she says. ‘You’ve planned your wedding, you’ve bought everything for a certain colour, so go with it.’
It’s easy to make any colour work for any season, with only a few little tweaks.
‘I had blush and white, because that’s what I liked, and we just happened to be getting married in October,’ says Carrie-Ann. ‘It doesn’t matter what colours you go for. It’s your wedding, and if you want to have pink in autumn or burgundy in spring, go for it.’
So if you’re planning the ‘same party, different date’, these seasonal swaps will help keep things cool and hassle-free.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LAYERS
One of the best ways to transform your colour palette is to layer colours together. ‘It can change the tone of everything,’ Carrie-Ann says.
