Bold Colours:
More couples are opting for bold and vibrant hues; this can add to the overall aesthetic and create a more vibrant look.
A few years ago, the trend was to choose one or two colours for your wedding theme. In 2020, the fashion is for variations and combinations of several different colours.
The bride and groom will then choose a global atmosphere, even if it is not a very specific theme: shades of different colours, suspended lavender, white candles, but also notes of bright and chic colours, such as shades of pink, red, and even orange. Mustard yellow, ochre, cumin, and saffron are also very popular this year, mixed with intense or dark greens such as sage green.
All these colours will be sublimated by touches of gold, but also silver, very fashionable this year.
