The date has been set, the invitations are out. Have you planned a winter wedding for this season and are still looking for inspiration for your decorations? Trend expert Ella Citron-Thompkins from Diamonds Factory tells us which five colour schemes are ideal...

Ice Princess: silver, white, blue, grey
For those who prefer classic elegance, the "Ice Princess" colour scheme is perfect. The cool colour palette of silver, white, blue and grey creates an elegant, frosty look and adds a touch of fairytale magic to your winter wedding. Crystal clear accents such as ice crystals, sparkling fairy lights and shimmering decorations fit perfectly and create a magical, almost arctic atmosphere.

Christmassy: red, green, dark brown
If you prefer something cosy and warm, the Christmas colour scheme could be just the thing for you. Classic Christmas colours such as red, green and dark brown create a festive, inviting mood that is perfect for the winter season. Think fir branches, sparkling lights and golden details — your wedding will look like a cosy winter fairytale. Candles and fireplaces also create a warming atmosphere.

Soft Barbie: pink and rosé
For couples who love a touch of playfulness and romance, the Soft Barbie palette is a modern choice. Pink and rosé give your wedding a feminine and charming touch. Combine delicate fabrics like velvet and silk with gold accents to create a feeling of luxury. These colours go particularly well with floral arrangements with roses or peonies and make the winter wedding look elegant and dreamy.

For the brave: a dream in yellow and blue
For anyone who wants to break away from the classic colour choice, this bold combination of yellow and blue is ideal. These contrasting colours bring a touch of freshness to the winter scene and are perfect for couples looking for something a little different. Think strong royal blue combined with warm yellow, perhaps even tones of gold. This colour combination exudes vibrancy and sets a modern, eye-catching accent that will be remembered for a long time.

Pastel colours: blue, pink, white
If you like something a little more delicate, you can opt for pastel tones. The gentle mix of blue, pink and white gives the wedding celebration a dreamy and fresh look. These colours can be combined particularly well with winter floral arrangements and delicate decorative elements. Pastel colours are perfect for creating a subtle yet stylish atmosphere that emphasises lightness and romance. The 2024/2025 winter wedding season offers many opportunities to play with colours and add unique accents. Be inspired by the colour schemes and create your very own winter wonderland!

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop.
