Give white warmth across your tablescape with scattered tea lights and scented votives. The trick with one-hue weddings is to include complementary shades from the same family. For white; add cream, eggshell and a hint of gold for a dreamily luxe look.

Lighting can make all the difference to your space, switching the mood from bright to cosy and intimate. Get your décor company to match your lighting to your bright accents. It’ll help infuse the areas you can’t decorate with coordinated colour.

Sometimes elegance comes from the simplest ideas. A black and white theme is perfect for couples envisioning a contemporary wedding. The crisp white against dark tables or design-led tableware gives an elegant feel and will take your wedding snaps to a whole other level.
