YELLOW WEDDING

Yellow wedding decorations should feature prominently throughout your day, from yellow balloons (be they free standing, exploding, balloon-arches or other), banners and streamers, to pew bows, pillar candles and chair covers.

Table decoration is also essential, and yellow table confetti, yellow table cloths/runners, yellow disposable cameras, yellow napkins and& yellow napkin rings are just some of the ways to accentuate your yellow wedding theme or colour scheme. The table centrepieces are an obvious focal point, so a yellow floral arrangement or a simple yellow glass bowl filled with water and adorned with yellow rose petals and floating yellow candles will look superb. For a finishing touch, consider naming your tables after different shades of yellow.

 Stationery: Long before the wedding takes place, invitations and save the date cards will be sent out to your wedding guests. With this in mind, try to get across your yellow wedding plans early and factor the colour into your designs. Continue the yellow trend on, and after, the day with your place-cards, menus, orders of service, thank you cards, table plans etc.

 Wedding Dress: A traditional ivory wedding dress adorned with yellow accessories (orange crystals, embroidery, ribbons etc.) is a subtle way to emphasise your theme/colour scheme and will look superb. A yellow garter is always an option, whilst a pair of ivory wedding shoes with a woven yellow pattern adds a classy finish.

 Wedding Outfits: Yellow bridesmaids dresses are a fairly obvious call, but you should also consider yellow neckpieces and waistcoats / cummerbunds for the Groom and his groomsmen. Look to finish any wedding outfit off with a series of yellow wedding accessories - yellow cufflinks, yellow bridesmaid jewellery, yellow bolero's etc.

 Transport: Arrive in style in a yellow wedding vehicle! Granted, the number of vintage and classic vehicles available in yellow is slim, but how about an american taxi cab? Failing that, any white wedding car adorned in yellow bows, ribbon and yellow floral decorations will really look the part.

 Cake: As one of the focal points of the day, an yellow wedding cake is essential. Whether it's a cake iced fully in yellow or a white based cake adorned with yellow decorative items (yellow flowers, sugared lemon slices etc.), an yellow wedding cake topper is also a must. For a nice finishing touch, you may want to consider lemon flavoured icing and lashings of lemon curd as a filling!

 Food: Stuffed yellow peppers, sweetcorn chowder, banana fritters with vanilla ice cream.

 Welcome Drinks: Fresh pineapple juice for the kids, malibu/vodka and pineapple juice for their parents!

 Jewellery: As a long and lasting reminder of your yellow wedding theme, consider incorporating a yellow diamond into your wedding rings and, if it's not too late, also your engagement rings.

 First Dance For the ultimate yellow wedding theme, why not take your first dance together to Donovan's 'Mellow Yellow', Dawn's 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree' or even Coldplay's 'Yellow'!
