Colour
I don’t think pinks will ever go out of fashion in
the wedding world, whether it’s coral – the current
Pantone Colour of the Year – or blush pink,
which goes with everything and is essentially
considered a nude. It was recently let slip that the
Pantone Colour of the Year 2020 will be inspired
by the ocean, so I can see natural, cooler tones of

flowers in place and hydrated throughout the day
but it is non-biodegradable. Loose confetti and
recyclable confetti cones over confetti bags, and
wooden plates and cutlery for the evening buffet
over disposable plastic…there are lots of ways for
With news that the government are reviewing the
current law stating that marriage can only legally
take place in either a church or a licenced venue,
the possibility of being able to get married anywhere
will hugely shake up the wedding industry in 2020.
If the new law has been passed by then, expect more

ceremonies. Weather permitting of course...
