Timeless Monochrome
If ever in doubt, go black and white. This iconic colour combination has stood the test of time for a reason – it’s your shortcut to setting a chic, classic tone. Our monochrome mix includes dancing calligraphy by Á L'aise, Katie’s Leamon’s marbled prints and designs with Art Deco flourishes that all deliver a truly sophisticated look and feel.

Papier Tip: Scatter a few natural objets amongst monochrome menu and place names to bring interesting textures to this sleek, polished look.
Fresh Greenery
From olive and pine to sage and a hint of mint, lush colourways lend an air of natural beauty to the occasion every time. Of course, they’re perfect for outdoor weddings where botanicals will play a large part, but they’re also a clever way to bring a sense of the great outdoors to weddings in cool, stark indoor venues.
Good for: Making people feel relaxed. Fresh, tranquil colourways will do that to you.
