Berry and plum create a delicious wedding palette and we thought, a perfect one for a Hallowe'en wedding with those dark, almost gothic colours. Berries may be primarily in season during summer, but who is to stop you from adapting their deep, sumptuous colours into you wedding scheme. Inkeeping with the berry palette, wine and cheese boards would work perfectly with this theme, along with wine cork accents and rustic wooden furnishings.

These colours are bright and dramatic and are receiving a very warm reception in the world of weddings. When we see these purples, cerises and greens together we think of care-free, glossy, happy soirees! Add gold as an accent colour to finish off for a sophisticated, unique look.

When you think of a cool blue wedding theme, think frosty sparkle, icy accents and shades of white, silver and blue.
This theme works best in a Winter Wonderland setting, but can also be adapted for an early spring wedding! The best thing is, these colour combinations are classy and elegant, so your wedding pictures will never go out of style!

Whether you're having a church, civil, or an outdoor ceremony you can add something special to liven your aisle up, or to bring a little colour and personality to your chosen venue. From wedding aisle runners, to rose petals to teepees, there's lots of ways to bring a little of what you like to your ceremony. Have a look at some of our fave ideas that will work whatever your budget may be. By Karen Birney
This aisle runner is so unusual, and looks like a great way to personalise a wedding ceremony as an alternative to the tradional monogrammed version. Image by lizellle lotter photography via Bijoux Bride
>> If you want to find wedding runners, or other decor items, see our Suppliers Directory for Decor Hire
A way to add a little detail to your ceremony decor is to make a feature of the chairs you will sit on. You can decorate with some flowers, or sashes, or even try bride and groom signs for something a bit more modern. Top image by Dave McClelland.

>> Find chairs like these for your cerempony, try our Directory in Furniture Hire
If you're looking for something more artistic, try creating your own 'alter'. This teepee(/tipi) style feature (top left) is made using wooden sticks, ribbon and is held up by branches of the tree behind. Image by The Wedding Artists Collective via 100LayerCake. This Indian style garland feature (middle) and traditional Indian lamp is a beautiful way to add some vibrance and custom to the ceremony alter. (Please check out this entire wedding HERE, as posted in 100LayerCake, the groom is the co-founder of Pinterest and the couple walked down the aisle to 'You're so cool' -the music from one of my favourite romantic movies of all time, True Romance. Amazing.) A great way to decorate your ceremony on a budget is to use fairylights (top right). Hanging vases (bottom right, image by Cat Satre via StyleMePretty) and pillar candles (bottom left, via ElizabethAnnDesigns) are beautiful ways to line the aisle.
For an outdoor ceremony, petals are one of the most romantic ways to line the aisle. You can shape them into designs, scatter them, or place floating candles alongside them, they really make an impact! Left image by Mark Brook, top right via MarthaStewartWeddings, bottom right by Elizabeth Messina.

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!
