Colours – Cool, Warm & Neutral

Colours have the ability to have a dramatic impact on our psychology, hence it is important to choose the right colours for the weddings. Cool colours that are associated with water convey a calming effect. Moreover warm colours lead to excitement whereas neutral colours express unity and harmony. And there you were thinking that choosing the right wedding colour for your big day would be a piece of cake?!

As well as choosing a colour theme which reflects the right qualities for your occasion, the colour you end up choosing should compliment everything from your groom, right through to your venue (be it indoors or outdoors), the decor, the season you’re getting married and even your bridesmaids!

Choosing a Colour Palette

The foremost thing to be done is picking up a palette that will help bring the guests and you in the same colour zone. For example, red colour speaks out loud for itself symbolizing passion, love and strong affection, whereas pink symbolizes femininity and sensuality.

Blue stands for calmness and tranquillity, whites can prove to be jaw dropping and of course, white is a very traditional colour for weddings as it signifies purity and innocence. The list of possible colour combinations of course, endless, however a good place to start is to consider the tones and colours which you are most drawn to in your everyday life, as first and foremost, you want your wedding to reflect you and your partner as a couple.

Good palette selection will tie together all the decorating choices you make for your wedding, which is why it’s so important to choose a colour your really love as it will filter through into every area of your big day.

Contrast is the new trend that has taken the limelight these days. People prefer a smart yet classy contrast like mint green with lavender, red and cyan. The idea remains that the effect of these combinations should be stunning and eye popping in addition to having the right colour psychology. This contrast can be developed further with mapping many things you have in your wedding scene.

Your chosen colour scheme can be reflected in your wedding invitations, decors, flowers, wedding cake, chair covers, candelabras, favours, and even lighting. The use of colour can be subtle in many of these elements, with just a hint of your chosen colour theme carried through to create a perfectly coordinated impression without being overpowering.

Linking your colour scheme with the destination or theme of your wedding is a very popular option, with many couples using their wedding venue as inspiration for their colour theme. However choosing the right colours for destination weddings is extremely important. Choosing some non-contextual colours for a beach wedding wouldn’t go down well with the theme. Thus, a beach wedding would compliment well with sunset colours like orange. Or a wedding on an island should preferably infuse hues of blue and turquoise. If being different is your agenda then colours like hot pink, yellow may dominate the ceremony. Your wedding memories, and also the all-important wedding snaps, will last a lifetime so don’t take any risks when it comes to choosing your colour scheme – make sure you take expert advice to ensure your wedding is picture perfect.

So seek the advice of the wedding planners and consider the colour that will make your wedding the most colourful occasion of your life. Just trust yourself and your wedding planners and you really won’t go wrong with this.

If the project gets the green light, then a purpose built banqueting hall with room to accommodate over 100 guests will be created on the site previously occupied by industrial companies. The developers predict that the building would be especially sought after for wedding venue hire amongst the Asian community living in the Preston and surrounding area.

The latest application being put forward to planners is the second attempt by developers to get permission for the new wedding venue and banqueting hall. The first application was turned down over perceived problems which could arise over parking at the new facility, and also issues over the quality of the development.

The architects working on the wedding hall proposal argue that the venue would help regenerate the area, benefiting the local community both socially and economically.

As well as offering a purpose built venue in which to host Asian wedding celebration, if the venue gets the go-ahead it will also offer conferencing facilities and be made available for hire for community events for groups from all backgrounds and beliefs. The building would be constructed on acre of disused industrial land in Deepdale, Preston.

The Bollywood power couple have been dating since 2007, with the actor and producer speaking publically about his relationship with the actress in 2009, admitting that marriage was definitely on the cards. However it’s taken another two years for the duo to find a window in their busy diaries in which to finally tie the knot.

However they haven’t completely abandoned their film commitments, in fact the groom-to-be revealed that he and his bride won’t walk down the aisle until their latest film is released, Agent Vinod. The movie was produced by Saif and stars Kareena and had been due for release in December, although the date has now been moved to January, with the loved up couple planning to wed just after the premiere.

In an interview this week, the 41-year-old added that although they are planning to marry after the release of Agent Vinod, if the date is pushed back again, they won’t be postponing their wedding until any later than March 2012.

When the pair finally exchange their vows, it will be the first marriage for 31-year-old Kareena, although Saif was previously married to actress Amrita Singh for 13 years with whom he shares two daughters, however the marriage ended in divorce in 2004.

According to David’s Bridal, some 57,000 brides and grooms will make their way down the aisle this Friday, hoping to make the most of this memorable date which many believe is very good luck.

In Gretna Green the couples are also queuing up to marry on this special day, with more than 50 weddings planned for Friday November 11^th which is more than five times the number of weddings the small town on the Scottish boarders usually conducts on a typical Friday in November.

In India the number of weddings scheduled for the 11-11-11 is believed to be higher than any other country as the date is regarded as auspicious by Asian couples. For other engaged couples, the decision to wed on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in the eleventh year is purely practical as some brides believe their husbands won’t have any excuse for forgetting such a memorable date when their anniversary comes around each year.

For particularly pedantic brides and grooms, getting married on the 11-11-11 isn’t special enough, with some even arranging for their wedding to take place at 11:11am so they can squeeze yet another 11 figure into their big day.

The number 11 is believed to signify rebirth and a new beginning, meaning the 11-11-11 lends itself perfectly to being a very lucky day on which to start married life.

While all newly engaged couple want to their engagement photos to be memorable, Juliana Park and Ben Lee went one step further to ensure their first pictures as an engaged couple stood out from the crowd.

The bride and groom-to-be enlisted the help of Juliana’s work colleague, Amanda Rynda, to act as the photographer for the project, while another friend, Jason Boesch, was drafted in to play the zombie.

The series of engagement pictures shows the couple enjoying a romantic picnic in the countryside at sunset. However this idyllic image is shattered as the zombie appears in the background of the shot in the next image, and the following pictures show the couple fending off the zombie, with the final photos showing the bride striking the attacking zombie with a shovel, while the last shot shows the couple standing over the dead zombie.

The couple posted the series of images online and overnight, the kooky photo shoot became an instant hit with internet users across the world. The photographs have received thousands of hits, with many people getting in touch to congratulate the imaginative duo on their original engagement pictures.

When asked if the zombie will make an appearance at the wedding, Juliana and Ben said they hadn’t ruled out the idea, although they have their reservations about inviting the zombie along in case it upsets the older wedding guests.

The 32-year-old civil servant, Mohammad Masran Abdul Rahman, is suing is ex fiancée, Norzuliyana Mat Hassan and her father after she broke off their engagement hours before they were due to marry on June 4^th. No reason was offered for calling off the nuptials.

Mr Rahman is seeking damages for the distress and embarrassment caused to him and his family after the arranged marriage was called off at the 11^th hour. The groom is also seeking compensation for the cost of the wedding which never happened. 1,200 guest had been invited to join the couple to celebrate their wedding, the food bill and venue hire for which had all been paid for by Mr Rahman. In the legal papers filed this week, it was revealed that the jilted groom was suing his ex for £219,000 in total for damages and compensation.

This is the second instance in the last two months that a bride has walked out on a wedding in the northern Kelantan state in Malaysia. It was reported in the local press that a bride had cancelled her wedding via text message to her groom a week before the wedding should have taken place last month. The groom has also a filed a lawsuit against his ex, this time for damages totalling £68,000.
