Announce your big day with a trendy flair with coral-coloured invitations. With its vibrancy and representation of joy, coral is the perfect colour for any wedding theme – from garden weddings to wedding banquet. You may opt for a full-blown coral card or one with coral accents for a subtle touch. Either way, these coral invitation cards will be striking.

Wedding Blooms

If there’s one aspect that should reflect your colour scheme, it’s your florals. Whether it’s the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquet or floral centrepieces, aim to incorporate coral blooms into them. These blooms can either take the lead or be designed as the secondary colour. Some examples of blooms to include are passion peach coral calla lily, peachy pink rose and peach-toned hydrangeas.

Bridesmaids Dresses

Table Decor
