Pastel Weddings
• Pastel colours are softer, lighter shades of colours. This includes light pink, purple, blue, green & yellow.
• A pastel wedding theme focuses on pastel colours, this could be throughout the décor, cake and overall theme, and/or it cold be requested for the wedding dress code.
• Pastel colours are the perfect choice for a spring time wedding or a garden wedding, even if they are not specifically requested in the dress code.
• Choose a pastel coloured midi dress, a pastel printed dress or a pastel off the shoulder gown for your wedding guest dress.
The pastel wedding colour is a classic, whether you are opting for one core pastel shade or multiple contrasting light shades, pastels will always be in when it comes to weddings. Pastels aren't exclusive to wedding décor, florals and the cake – the bridesmaids will often be adorned in pastel shades, as are wedding guests and the mother of the bride and groom.
When it comes to pastel colours, the trick is to pick and choose particular pastel shades and use them across your wedding intentionally, often mixing in a few shades that may not be traditionally seen as ‘pastels’ will help balance everything out. If you are going to ask your wedding guests and/or bridesmaids to wear pastels then choosing a certain colour palette and communicating this to them via invite will help balance the colours on the day of our wedding – making your photographs (and the overall aesthetic) shine.
What is a pastel wedding theme?
A pastel wedding theme focuses on soft and light shades of colour. Muted hues of pink, green, blue, yellow & lavender are all popular shades of pastel colours. These colours are often incorporated into wedding colour schemes, especially for spring time weddings and garden weddings.
What To Wear To A Pastel Wedding
Pastel colours are the perfect choice for a pastel wedding, a spring time wedding, or a garden wedding. Opt for a pastel coloured midi dress, or a pastel coloured printed dress, a sky blue one shoulder gown or a light pink cocktail dress are also great options.
Can I wear a bright colour to a pastel wedding?
If the wedding invitation requests wedding guests to wear pastel colours to the wedding, then it is best to stick to colours that are soft and muted. Neon colours or very bright colours may not be suitable for the pastel wedding dress code. If you are ever unsure about particular colour or style for a wedding, then it is always be to enquire with the bride or the groom.
Can the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom wear pastel colours to the wedding?
Yes! Pastel colours are the perfect choice for the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom. Sky blue shades, champagne hues or light pinks are all popular choices for a mother of the bride or mother of the groom dress.
How should I accessorise a pastel dress?
Choose minimalistic jewellery to wear with your pastel coloured dress. Soft metallic jewellery is also a great option. For shoes wear elegant neutral toned heels or match the colour of your shoes with your pastel coloured gown.
