Take a trip back to the Bronze Age and create a metallic bronze and gold leaf palette for your wedding decor.
Metallic provides the perfect amount of glamour and edge to a very classic style, but as with most bold colour, prints, or fabrics, don't overdo it! Treat your metallics like you would animal prints; a little goes a long way. Also, as with animal prints, it's okay to mix two or three colours. Try a palette of gold, silver and bronze (a nod to this year's Olympics, if you are the sporty type?!), using off white or cream as your anchor.

The WeddingsOnline girls are in sunny spirits this afternoon (look at that blue sky!) so we thought a little colourful palette would be a nice addition to the today's blog posts! If you are having a pre-wedding shoot with your photographer, colourful balloons are a gorgeous way to add some sparkle to your images, and will give you something to play with if you're feeling a little shy. For your wedding, a rainbow palette is easy to build on as you don't need to make sure you have all the same shades between your bridesmaid dresses, flowers and stationery, so there's less pressure in planning and more fun!

A cute and easy DIY project to create your very own Papel Picado flags. Hang them in the church or drape them around you reception room to help add a splash of colour to your big day.
Materials
� Various colours of tissue paper - maybe in your wedding colour theme
� Double sided tape or glue
� Scissors
� Ribbon
� Paper for template
Step-by-step
1. Fold paper for the template into 1/6s length-wise. Once paper is in 1/2, fold it into 1/3s.
2. Cut small shapes along the folded sides of the template.
3. Open to see if you like the pattern.
4. Then lay the template over the tissue paper, which should be folded in the exact same way the template is.
5. Cut the tissue in the same pattern as the template.
6. Unfold and repeat in the same way for other colours of tissue.
7. Lay ribbon out and stick different colour tissue flags side-by-side on the ribbon with the double sided tape or glue. Leave about enough space either side so the banner can be tied up.
8. Stick another piece of ribbon to the front side of the banner.
9. Now hang it up and stand back to admire all your 'hard' work!
