Add a touch of colour to your day

Ombre and dip-dye colours are splashing across weddings around the world right now. We love the trend – it injects subtle colour to the day and can be used on any tone. It’s fabulous for bringing a bright colour in without overpowering, but just as good for infusing soft, pastel tones.

We’ve pulled together some of our favourite ombre inspiration to give you some ideas of your own.

Dresses

There are so many ways to add a touch of colour to your gown. We love the idea of just dip-dying the hem, but have equally fallen for a totally ombre skirt! Or why not flip it and go for a block of deep colour?

Gorgeous soft pastel peach works perfectly – and matches the tone of the flowers as well.

Dusty blue is a fabulous colour – layers of tulle soften the skirt and the pure white bodice is just striking. Image: Tyler Rye

Florals

From table decorations to room decor, your most versatile flower for the ombre look is the rose. Beautiful in abundance, it comes in virtually every hue you could wish for. We adore this styled ombre arch, and, of course, we’re always totally swooning over a floral wall!

Cake

Be clever with your theme and hide your ombre inside the cake! Layers of different colours and flavours will surprise and delight your guests. As will an impressively tall ombre masterpiece!

Stationery

Watercolour stationery is so pretty, giving an elegant and attractive first look of your wedding. Carrying that theme through to your tables and favours is so clever! Loving these ombre macaron favours – so sweet!

Such a clever idea. Table escort cards don’t have to be left out. If you’re clever, you can match these across to the tables themselves too. Image: Andrew Jade Photography

Keep your table neutral and add a pop of colour with your favours. Especially if they match your theme! You could do the same with iced biscuits too. Image: Bobette & Belle

Bridesmaids

There are two options for your ombre bridesmaids’ dresses – you can make the dresses themselves dip-dye, or dress each bridesmaid in a different shade of your chosen colour, leaving you to be the pure white end!
