When planning your styling, prioritise lighting just like you would florals or furniture. The earlier you factor it in, the more intentional and cohesive your look will be.

• Chat with your planner, stylist, or hire company about what's possible at your venue

• Consider both functional and decorative lighting (you need ambience and practicality)

• Use lighting to guide the flow—from ceremony to cocktails to dancing

A little lighting love goes a long way in creating an unforgettable celebration.

Start by collecting inspiration: mood boards, fabric swatches, and floral samples can help you see how your colours work together in real life. Keep your core and supporting shades consistent across all elements, but allow for subtle variations to add depth and texture.

Remember, your palette is more than just a visual choice—it’s an emotional tool. The right combination of colours can evoke feelings of romance, joy, drama, or serenity, creating a wedding experience that feels authentically you.

One moment, you’re in the middle of a whirlwind of decisions, celebrations, and countdowns. The next, you’re sitting in a quiet room wondering, “So… what now?”

Stop Following Rules That Aren’t Yours.

Your wedding isn’t a museum piece—and it doesn’t need to look like your parents’, your friends’, or the “perfect” Pinterest wedding you’ve seen on repeat.
