Take a Bow Theme

As much as I love colour and the way we use it to express ourselves as a bride, sometimes it’s refreshing to see a more muted palette for a wedding with emphasis on a unique motif instead. The focus for this wedding concept are styled and elegant bows, accented only with simplistic shades of Ivory and Latte. 

The use of a significant motif can of course be translated into any colour palette and feminine bows is only one example of how effective a wedding symbol can be. Here they cleverly accessorise not only the brides gown but also her stylish shoes, clutch purse and even hairstyle! This elegant accent is followed through in the cake design, these Siri Bridesmaid dresses and the gorgeous yet simple invitations by Dochelle, which set the tone for the event and give guests a sneak peek into what is to come.

The key to making a motif like this really pop is to showcase it as frequently as possible, especially when the colour palette is so neutral. Think outside the square in terms of accessories and details… The symbol itself really acts as the ribbon running through the wedding day and ties all the details up neatly, with a pretty bow. ♥
