May is the perfect time for soft blues. Which make for a very elegant spring wedding theme. Gardens are filled with powder blue forget-me nots, delicate bluebells and dreamy wisteria blooms. Don’t be afraid to mix silver and greys into this kind of colour scheme. Shades of muted greys and cool blue will compliment one another. The grey painted trellis looks beautiful next to the wisteria.
These kind of colours really suit a vintage theme as well. There are no end of vintage style bits and bobs in shades of blues and greys. From ribbons to cake tins, chintzy fabrics and vintage crockery, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect accessories to go with this colour scheme.
If you decided on blue for bridesmaid’s dresses and other outfits I would suggest staying with ivory flowers and just a touch of blue, such as forget-me-nots dotted throughout or soft bluey grey eucalyptus. Or if you want the flowers to be the main focus of colour go all out with the blue and have a hand tied bouquet of English grown bluebells with a simple foliage collar. Young flower girls in ivory dresses with a blue sash would be picture perfect carrying a small basket of rose petals.
