So the Colour of the Year for 2017 was Greenery, and this inspired some beautiful shades of green in dresses and some amazing floral decorations.

The Colour of the Year for 2018 is the more vibrant and powerful Ultraviolet.

Clothing

We've been fans of Dessy for a long time, and they don't disappoint again this year with a fantastic range of bridesmaids dresses, accessories and grooms wear.

Flowers

There is nothing more important than to have georgeous, fragrant, fresh flowers on your wedding day, and we love these from a wedding we photographed at Pontlands Park last year.

Cakes

Following the latest trend for layered cakes, we love the colours in this cake.

Venue Dressing

Ultraviolet is such an amazing colour and what's not to like about these beautiful agate place cards?

And how about the ultimate of dressing your wedding venue in purple light as shown in the historic Essex Barn at The Chichester in Wickford.

Corsage

The men shouldn't be missed out on something more flamboyant on the day and we think these fantastic Scottish themed corsages fit the bill.

Stationery

Of course you will need to invite everyone to your special day, and we think these follow the colour scheme very nicely.

And to give the men the finishing touch a nice splash of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet.
