While pink continues to be the top choice for bridesmaid’s gowns in America, our style scouts are leaning toward weddings decorated with touches of yellow. The happy hue pops against the reds and browns of the desert, while keeping all eyes on the party. if anything can compete with the stunning Arizona sunset, it’s a wedding done up in delightful yellow.
It is said that wedding rings were first fashioned of gold for its strength and ability to be molded into many shapes, much like love. And what is gold, but a variation on yellow? Dorothy’s brick road to oz, safe-return ribbons for our servicemen and women, and the iconic “happy face”---all yellow!
Whether you envision elegant or garden-party casual, this is a color that adds style and drama to the décor. Beginning with the invitations, brides and grooms can hint at the celebration to come with inspired paper choices. While stationers can certainly drum up kitschy gingham, all eyes are on more sophisticated designs on luxurious papers, which set the tone for a modern celebration.
Once the wedding day is here, excite your guests with rooms of blooms in this sunny tone. The choices for your bouquet and room décor will knock your socks off. Picture a ring bearer’s pillow fashioned exclusively of bright daisies. This is a color that offers a stunning contrast against a white wedding gown or the stylish simplicity of white callas in a golden-hued vase.
Centerpieces of sunflowers represent summer fun, while daffodils symbolize the new life of spring. Regardless of the season, golden blooms are readily available. The Flower studio tells us that most of a bride’s favorite flowers can be found in a shade of yellow. Pair them with bowls of citrus, and the ubiquitous yellow daisy is elevated to the queen bee of the flower farm. More formal brides might select stately orchids, stunning as they cast romantic shadows against the glow of candlelight.
Offer relief from the Arizona sun with a cool pitcher of home-made lemonade, a plate of tangy lemon bars dusted with powdered sugar, served alongside a signature cocktail: lemon Drops of course!
Is it any wonder the band Coldplay made a hit of the song “Yellow”? The lyrics seem to say it all: “look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do, yeah, they were all yellow.” You are the star of the show in a wedding done up in yellow.
