Pastel colour palettes are always popular and we have a host of brilliant wedding ideas for your right here. Soft, romantic and beautiful in all seasons, pastel colours are always popular for weddings and with good reason. Here are just a few of our favourite pastel wedding ideas to tempt you towards these delight wedding palettes.

A pastel wedding colour theme gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to decorations and details, and you can mix and match pastel shades to suit your style. Pastels are perfect for country weddings and there are so many ways that you can add this colour scheme to your day.

The first thing to say about planning a pastel wedding is – have some fun. Combine colours and shades to create a palette that’s full of life. Play around with online palette generators, check out Pinterest or even use paint colour cards to finalise the selection of colours that you’re going to use at your pastel wedding. With the shades and hues decided upon, it’s time to get planning.

Dressing For Your Pastel Wedding

Bringing your colour scheme into your wedding outfits is definitely a great idea. Colourful details really make an impact and you can add pastel shades in a huge number of ways.

Brides, why not wear shoes in a pastel colour that you love or even a colourful belt or sash to your gown? You can bring colour into your accessories with softly coloured wedding jewellery or you could even wear a flower crown made from blooms in gorgeous pastel hues. If you’d like to add a little extra colour to your wedding bouquet, ask your florist to finish your flowers with long trailing pastel ribbons.

Grooms and groomsmen probably won’t want to wear suits in pastel shades (although pale blue suits look amazing in summer!) but they can add accessories to their outfits that work with your theme. Ties, pocket squares, waistcoats and even pastel socks look great and, of course, their buttonholes can also include pastel flowers.

Bridesmaids can definitely wear pastel dresses, and these always look fabulous. Stick to one colour or embrace the trend for ‘mix and match’ bridesmaids. Again, pastel shoes and accessories all add to your theme and their bouquets can also bring a touch of soft colour to their looks.

When it comes to your decorations and details, you should definitely bring in lots of pastel touches right across your day. Beautiful pastel florals are an absolute must-have so bring your pastel wedding theme into the Orangery for your ceremony and also into the Mill Barn for your wedding breakfast and reception.

The Mill Barn always looks fantastic when it’s dressed to impress for wedding receptions and you can add lots of pastel details here. How about coloured table linen, props, stationery or even favours?

You could also create your table plan using pastel details such as flowers or why not include some hanging decorations too? Pastel tassel garlands or ribbons look fantastic or you could paint wooden hanging Mr & Mrs signs to suit your theme. For a statement transformation, Mediterranean Occasions can add drapes, pastel sequin table cloths, pastel organza chair décor or even lighting. Whatever you choose we’re certain that it will really impress your guests!

Colourful wedding cakes are really on trend right now and whether you opt for a hand-painted cake, one with colourful icing or a naked cake that’s dressed with pastel flowers, you can be sure that your guests will all love this detail.

If there’s a real pastel wedding essential, it’s confetti. The ‘confetti shot’ absolutely has to be on your list of must-have wedding photos here at Gaynes Park and natural petal confetti is a must. These delightfully coloured petals look amazing in photos and being showered in confetti by your guests is a really fun part of your day.

Finally, we have to mention balloons because they’re bang on trend, look great and they’re also a lot of fun! Why not add a super cool balloon arch to your wedding or decorate the venue with large orb balloons? Balloons always look incredible in photos too!
