it’s a good idea of bear in mind how you’d like your reception tables to look when you’re establishing your colour theme, as they’re a great way of implementing your chosen colour scheme...
n Good as Gold: Opt for a combination of soft gold (napkins, flowers) and a stronger shade (use this on your table runners, favour boxes and perhaps on glassware) to create a luxurious look that pairs well with soft gold groomswear or gold accents in your bridesmaids’ dresses. n Lilac and Soft Pink: an example of how softer shades and stronger tones can work really well together. there’s a huge number of soft pink table linens and favours out there, whilst a stronger highlight of purple works well to prevent the scheme looking too anaemic. a third colour of soft blue adds depth. n Think Texture: don’t just consider colour this punchy pink colour is given extra luxe with table crystals, pearls and glassware. Candles make cheap favours and look great when illuminated at night. they’re also available in a limitless range of colours.
Above: Candles help this scheme - they’re available in every single colour and you can even buy personalised ones as favours.
