Trendy Ombre Ideas For Your Wedding

Posted February 7th, 2012 | 5:11 pm | By Bailey Spagat | No Comments

Ombre colour palettes are one of the biggest wedding trends for 2012 and will certainly give you the wow-factor you’ve been looking for. We first saw the trend surface in the beauty world with Hollywood celebs like Drew Barrymore and Ashlee Simpson opting for ombre locks. Now these sets of varied hues have worked their way into everything from food to flowers. For your wedding day choose one colour and dress your bridesmaids in various shades of that colour. Match your floral arrangements and decor items to the hues you have chosen. Have fun with the style and implement it into your desserts and guest favours as well. You can even incorporate an ombre manicure into your wedding day look!
