WEDDING TRENDS 2011.

Choosing a colour for your wedding is definitely a matter of taste. If you hate green, you’re not going to choose it, are you? However, there are lots of people in the wedding industry with a great eye for colour who come up with original combinations that perhaps would never have occurred to you. So here are some ideas from wedding world about beautiful colour schemes that we predict will be big in 2011.

I love navy. I love the formality of it, the vintage feel and the fact that it’s not black. So my vote goes to navy, combined with a gorgeously sumptuous yellow. Here’s an example from Vibrant Bride:



Bright colours are also big for 2011. These include hot pink, orange and apple green. They bring some beautiful touches to a wedding and are particularly nice for summer weddings.

The alternative are vintage-style colours – khaki greens, creams and burnt red. These colours are particularly nice if you’re trying to keep the bridesmaids and mother of the bride’s look similar and make for nice flower choices.

Bringing in grey as a mixer was already something that started emerging in 2010 and will probably continue into 2011, as will the emerging trend for nudes, like coral or peach.

If you want to try out some colour combinations, why not use Pantone by The Dessy Group? You can bring together lots of different looks and compare colour combinations, to make sure you get the look you want!

Also, you can take inspiration from celebrities. Chelsea Clinton, for example, went for dark but impactful colours, revolving around plum.

OUTDOOR. Exclusive.

What a beautiful moment.. Unfortunately I can't reveal too much about this exclusive couple in words as I'm sworn to secrecy not to reveal their names..But I can reveal some pics of our exclusive photoshoot last week..!;-)

WEDDING. Jay + Louise.

You can start to image how privileged and nervous I felt when a good friend of mine, ah' Jay, asked me if I'd take the honour and photograph his wedding with his lush fiance, Louise - Of course I responded with an immediate YES!

And what a day it turned out to be.. Friends, family, a gorgeous location and beautiful weather made this a day to remember.

Congratulations to you both x

OUTDOOR. Rebecca + Family.

Struth..!! Rebecca and her fabolous family called me from Brisbane, Australia to say they'd be coming over and wanted a fun filled outdoor photoshoot..With sunshine! I advised her that unless she was bringing it with her, she'd better cross her fingers and everything else for that matter and hope and pray it's a nice day because this is england and sunny day's are a thing of myth and miracle here! :-) Luckily, her (and more so my!) prayers were answered and we had a fantastic and entertaining outdoor lifestyle photoshoot at the gorgeous Elvaston Castle in Derby. Enjoy..
