I mean, I used to work in a hotel 55 00:02:29,865 --> 00:02:33,065 and there was one reason I absolutely refused to get married 56 00:02:33,065 --> 00:02:35,385 in a hotel was because people would come in 57 00:02:35,385 --> 00:02:38,025 and it was both beautiful, Georgian venue, 58 00:02:38,025 --> 00:02:40,665 with sort of pale green walls and pale green carpets 59 00:02:40,665 --> 00:02:42,585 and it would be beautiful, but then people would come in. 60 00:02:42,585 --> 00:02:45,785 With, right, bold. 61 00:02:45,785 --> 00:02:46,665 The castle? 62 00:02:46,665 --> 00:02:47,865 Yeah, pretty much. 63 00:02:47,865 --> 00:02:50,265 And it just wouldn't, yeah. 64 00:02:50,265 --> 00:02:52,105 You really got to think about your surroundings 65 00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:53,305 when you think of your colour. 66 00:02:53,305 --> 00:02:54,505 I think you should think about that as well 67 00:02:54,505 --> 00:02:55,625 when you're choosing your venue. 68 00:02:55,625 --> 00:02:56,345 What, a hundred percent? 69 00:02:56,345 --> 00:02:58,825 Like you should be aware of your colour palette 70 00:02:58,825 --> 00:03:03,945 and be aware of what it is that you're looking for in a space. 71 00:03:03,945 --> 00:03:04,585 Yeah. 72 00:03:04,585 --> 00:03:07,785 And use that, like if it's if you want to go 73 00:03:07,785 --> 00:03:10,345 with a totally black and white theme monochrome. 74 00:03:10,345 --> 00:03:11,225 Yes. 75 00:03:11,225 --> 00:03:12,665 And they were coming onto monochrome. 76 00:03:12,665 --> 00:03:13,065 Yeah. 77 00:03:13,065 --> 00:03:15,785 Then if you want that black and white, 78 00:03:15,785 --> 00:03:17,065 that's what you want. 79 00:03:17,065 --> 00:03:18,665 Don't choose a venue that's got 80 00:03:18,665 --> 00:03:19,465 public carpets? 81 00:03:19,465 --> 00:03:20,585 Yes, exactly. 82 00:03:20,585 --> 00:03:21,225 Exactly. 83 00:03:21,225 --> 00:03:23,945 I think so many people don't think about it to start with 84 00:03:23,945 --> 00:03:25,305 and it's a really important decision. 85 00:03:25,305 --> 00:03:27,705 Yeah, it's that that overall image of your day. 86 00:03:27,705 --> 00:03:29,145 So I got married in a barn 87 00:03:29,145 --> 00:03:31,145 could pretty much do most things in a barn 88 00:03:31,145 --> 00:03:33,785 because it's pretty neutral, but they had sage green. 89 00:03:33,785 --> 00:03:35,465 This is absolutely horrendous now. 90 00:03:35,465 --> 00:03:37,465 There's sage green curtains around the walls. 91 00:03:40,105 --> 00:03:41,785 And actually that was one of the colours I had. 92 00:03:41,785 --> 00:03:42,505 Yeah. 93 00:03:42,505 --> 00:03:43,865 That has been why they had curtains around. 94 00:03:43,865 --> 00:03:45,065 I can't remember that. 95 00:03:45,065 --> 00:03:47,705 I think if you don't have revision, 96 00:03:47,705 --> 00:03:50,585 you don't have an idea where places start 97 00:03:50,585 --> 00:03:52,265 with the season you're getting married. 98 00:03:52,265 --> 00:03:53,225 It's definitely. 99 00:03:53,225 --> 00:03:56,985 And then use colours that go with that season. 100 00:03:56,985 --> 00:03:58,665 So there's colour psychology. 101 00:03:58,665 --> 00:03:59,705 Yes, definitely. 102 00:03:59,705 --> 00:04:01,065 So I've had my colours done. 103 00:04:01,065 --> 00:04:02,345 So perhaps I don't know if you have that. 104 00:04:02,345 --> 00:04:05,065 No, I haven't, but I had it done when when I first started 105 00:04:05,065 --> 00:04:06,425 my business, my brand. 106 00:04:06,425 --> 00:04:06,905 Yes. 107 00:04:06,905 --> 00:04:08,665 I had colour psychology done on my brand 108 00:04:08,665 --> 00:04:10,105 and the brand I wanted to choose. 109 00:04:10,105 --> 00:04:12,505 Yes, yeah, I did that as well with design books. 110 00:04:12,505 --> 00:04:13,945 But you've got the seasons. 111 00:04:13,945 --> 00:04:15,865 So in a nutshell, you've got spring, 112 00:04:15,865 --> 00:04:18,585 it's sort of warm and essentially like light colours. 113 00:04:18,585 --> 00:04:21,705 Horals, watermelon, turquoise, lilacs, apples. 114 00:04:21,705 --> 00:04:25,545 And then summer, you've got a bit more brighter. 115 00:04:25,545 --> 00:04:27,145 They're sort of not primary, 116 00:04:27,145 --> 00:04:29,945 but you've got your sort of lavender's moves, 117 00:04:29,945 --> 00:04:31,945 bottle green, things like that. 118 00:04:31,945 --> 00:04:32,745 Older. 119 00:04:32,745 --> 00:04:35,065 Yes, a bit bold, richer tones. 120 00:04:35,065 --> 00:04:36,905 Which are definitely. 121 00:04:36,905 --> 00:04:39,945 And then they actually, we're going to get into a bit 122 00:04:39,945 --> 00:04:41,065 of the techy side in a minute, 123 00:04:41,065 --> 00:04:43,465 but you're right, they're richer tones in the summer. 124 00:04:43,465 --> 00:04:43,945 Yes. 125 00:04:43,945 --> 00:04:47,145 And then autumn, you've got like warm and lively colours. 126 00:04:47,145 --> 00:04:51,465 There's a copy, olive green, teal, warm burgundy. 127 00:04:51,465 --> 00:04:54,105 And then like winter, you've got very strong like primary colours. 128 00:04:54,105 --> 00:04:56,665 And you've got your shoes, like, 129 00:04:56,665 --> 00:04:58,585 and then extreme tints and shades. 130 00:04:58,585 --> 00:05:01,625 So you've got your pure white, your pure blacks. 131 00:05:01,625 --> 00:05:04,905 You've got magenta, pillow box red, ice blue. 132 00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:07,385 Quite strong blue colours. 133 00:05:07,385 --> 00:05:07,945 Yeah. 134 00:05:07,945 --> 00:05:11,385 So your warm colours tend to have a bit more red and yellow in them. 135 00:05:11,385 --> 00:05:14,105 And your cooler tones tend to have like a blue in it. 136 00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:15,065 So you can. 137 00:05:15,065 --> 00:05:17,145 And I think this is what I learned when I did 138 00:05:17,145 --> 00:05:18,825 my colour psychology myself. 139 00:05:18,825 --> 00:05:21,065 It's like, you know, it's what I should wear. 140 00:05:21,065 --> 00:05:24,025 It doesn't mean like if you're something you can't wear yellow, 141 00:05:24,025 --> 00:05:25,625 you've got to wear the right yellow. 142 00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:25,865 Yeah. 143 00:05:25,865 --> 00:05:27,865 So interestingly, with the colour, 144 00:05:27,865 --> 00:05:31,065 clothing, she has like four different blues, 145 00:05:31,065 --> 00:05:32,745 four different greens, four different purples. 146 00:05:32,745 --> 00:05:35,865 And they are actually all different and it's which one suits you. 147 00:05:35,865 --> 00:05:38,265 As I would say, I would avoid wearing certain colours. 148 00:05:38,265 --> 00:05:41,385 But actually, I could wear a blue, just a teal blue would give me, 149 00:05:41,385 --> 00:05:42,105 because I'm an autumn. 150 00:05:42,105 --> 00:05:43,465 I think I'm more of a winter then, 151 00:05:43,465 --> 00:05:45,305 because I can think it's a really fun one. 152 00:05:45,305 --> 00:05:48,345 I can't wear dust, I love dusty pink colours. 153 00:05:48,345 --> 00:05:48,905 I'm not wearing them. 154 00:05:48,905 --> 00:05:50,345 They totally and utterly wash me out. 155 00:05:50,345 --> 00:05:52,105 But a bright, you know, you should pink. 156 00:05:52,105 --> 00:05:53,545 All over the skirt. 157 00:05:53,545 --> 00:05:54,985 Yeah, so I look washed out with pink. 158 00:05:54,985 --> 00:05:57,385 I need this more muted order tones. 159 00:05:57,385 --> 00:05:59,865 So do you think about when you're choosing your colours, 160 00:05:59,865 --> 00:06:02,265 that makes you've got warm colours and cool colours? 161 00:06:02,665 --> 00:06:03,865 Now, Natasha laughed at me, 162 00:06:03,865 --> 00:06:05,625 because when we were writing the notes with this, 163 00:06:05,625 --> 00:06:07,065 I did get a little bit techy. 164 00:06:07,065 --> 00:06:10,105 A little bit techy is the understatement of the century. 165 00:06:10,105 --> 00:06:12,665 You brought about four books. 166 00:06:12,665 --> 00:06:15,305 I had all had different things in our site. 167 00:06:15,305 --> 00:06:17,145 Oh, I'm not going to bore you too much. 168 00:06:17,145 --> 00:06:19,465 But just looking at simple colour wheel, 169 00:06:19,465 --> 00:06:20,825 yeah, I've got one on Amazon. 170 00:06:20,825 --> 00:06:23,625 And it tells you all the information about what colours go. 171 00:06:23,625 --> 00:06:25,705 You might not necessarily think about. 172 00:06:25,705 --> 00:06:26,745 It's just really handy. 173 00:06:26,745 --> 00:06:31,065 So, basically, you can go for complementary colours, 174 00:06:31,065 --> 00:06:32,825 which are opposites on the colour wheel. 175 00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:35,305 But they work quite well. 176 00:06:35,305 --> 00:06:37,065 One is your main colour, 177 00:06:37,065 --> 00:06:38,905 and you have another as an accent. 178 00:06:38,905 --> 00:06:41,385 One combination I love is blue and orange. 179 00:06:41,385 --> 00:06:45,305 Yes, it doesn't mean that your bridesmaids are in orange, 180 00:06:45,305 --> 00:06:46,505 your groomsman and orange. 181 00:06:46,505 --> 00:06:49,705 I think putting that sort of colour palette into a wedding, 182 00:06:49,705 --> 00:06:51,945 I would have many navy suits. 183 00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:54,105 I'd imagine more of like an autumn wedding here, 184 00:06:54,105 --> 00:06:55,065 or maybe summer. 185 00:06:55,065 --> 00:06:57,785 And you have like the right sort of orange in the colour. 186 00:06:57,785 --> 00:07:01,065 It's a California poppy, so I love California poppies. 187 00:07:01,065 --> 00:07:02,905 Yeah, like that bright orange colour. 188 00:07:02,905 --> 00:07:05,065 You could just pop a pop of the orange, 189 00:07:05,065 --> 00:07:08,265 so you could have a little navy blue and then have the orange. 190 00:07:08,265 --> 00:07:10,265 So those are complementary colours. 191 00:07:10,265 --> 00:07:13,385 Likewise, you could have like aqua and a red orange. 192 00:07:13,385 --> 00:07:17,385 So you might have hints of one and like a lot of the other. 193 00:07:17,385 --> 00:07:19,065 You know, so you might have like mainly red, 194 00:07:19,065 --> 00:07:20,265 orangey flowers and things, 195 00:07:20,265 --> 00:07:22,105 but just a hint of aqua in there as well. 196 00:07:22,105 --> 00:07:23,545 The tricky one is red and green. 197 00:07:23,545 --> 00:07:26,025 But they're complementary colours. 198 00:07:26,025 --> 00:07:28,905 Yeah, but I mean, there's a famous saying, 199 00:07:28,905 --> 00:07:30,505 isn't there, red and green should never be seen 200 00:07:30,505 --> 00:07:31,625 unless there's a colour in between. 201 00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:35,545 So I wouldn't recommend having two colours for your palette. 202 00:07:35,545 --> 00:07:37,785 No, you'd probably want to introduce 203 00:07:37,785 --> 00:07:38,745 worries or fives. 204 00:07:38,745 --> 00:07:40,185 Yes, that's odd numbers. 205 00:07:40,185 --> 00:07:42,585 Yeah, odd numbers work really, really nicely. 206 00:07:42,585 --> 00:07:44,585 Which sort of leads us on to the triads. 207 00:07:44,585 --> 00:07:47,785 So you have three colours that are evenly spaced out 208 00:07:47,785 --> 00:07:49,145 around the colour wheel. 209 00:07:49,145 --> 00:07:50,425 They always work well. 210 00:07:50,425 --> 00:07:52,425 Bread, blue and the primary colours. 211 00:07:52,425 --> 00:07:53,625 Yes, the primary colours. 212 00:07:53,625 --> 00:07:55,305 And then it's sorted out between, aren't they? 213 00:07:55,305 --> 00:07:56,505 Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't recommend this 214 00:07:56,505 --> 00:07:58,345 that I'd go from red, blue and yellow for a... 215 00:07:58,345 --> 00:07:59,785 I know, I'd be great fun. 216 00:07:59,785 --> 00:08:00,985 I'm a little like noddy. 217 00:08:00,985 --> 00:08:02,825 Well, colour psychologies, 218 00:08:02,825 --> 00:08:04,825 that they're really good for children's toys and things 219 00:08:04,825 --> 00:08:06,425 because they are bright and bold. 220 00:08:06,425 --> 00:08:06,825 Yeah. 221 00:08:06,825 --> 00:08:11,145 Even when you choose your colours, 222 00:08:11,145 --> 00:08:14,345 then you can literally vary them 223 00:08:14,345 --> 00:08:18,185 by using different shades or tints. 224 00:08:18,185 --> 00:08:20,985 So your hue is the pure colour. 225 00:08:20,985 --> 00:08:24,825 So like the red, the green, blue, the purple, orange. 226 00:08:24,825 --> 00:08:28,505 But then you can use shades where you add black. 227 00:08:28,505 --> 00:08:29,145 Yeah. 228 00:08:29,145 --> 00:08:31,705 Or you can use tints where you add white 229 00:08:31,705 --> 00:08:33,545 or your tones you add grey. 230 00:08:33,545 --> 00:08:35,625 So you can look at colour wheel, pick up, 231 00:08:35,625 --> 00:08:37,945 you could even do a wedding where you have it. 232 00:08:37,945 --> 00:08:40,345 I love it actually when people do this nowadays. 233 00:08:40,345 --> 00:08:41,145 Pink wedding. 234 00:08:41,145 --> 00:08:42,505 But they've got so many different pinks. 235 00:08:42,505 --> 00:08:44,025 Yes, they've got deeper pinks, 236 00:08:44,025 --> 00:08:45,545 paler pinks and how they all, 237 00:08:45,545 --> 00:08:46,665 you know, have bouquet flowers 238 00:08:46,665 --> 00:08:47,785 where you've got the different... 239 00:08:47,785 --> 00:08:49,065 Yeah, you've got patterns and... 240 00:08:49,065 --> 00:08:51,145 Yeah, and I think that is really lovely. 241 00:08:51,145 --> 00:08:52,265 Yeah, it's beautiful. 242 00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:56,265 So don't necessarily just think of it as a red and orange or orange and blue. 243 00:08:56,265 --> 00:08:59,865 You can then use variants of the orange and blue. 244 00:08:59,865 --> 00:09:03,065 Yeah, to then make it up to the larger paler panel. 245 00:09:03,065 --> 00:09:05,385 To be as bold as you want or to be as subtle as you want. 246 00:09:05,385 --> 00:09:07,865 It's not just thinking orange and blue. 247 00:09:07,865 --> 00:09:08,985 Because when I was writing these, 248 00:09:08,985 --> 00:09:10,265 I just thought, how are these going to work? 249 00:09:10,265 --> 00:09:11,145 Because weddings, but... 250 00:09:11,145 --> 00:09:13,465 Well, yeah, like if you're looking at three even, 251 00:09:13,465 --> 00:09:16,265 the space cinch that is red, so yellow. 252 00:09:16,265 --> 00:09:16,745 Yeah. 253 00:09:16,745 --> 00:09:19,065 But then if you're looking at like totally different tones, 254 00:09:19,065 --> 00:09:22,985 you could go with the burgundy with, you could pick up flowers 255 00:09:22,985 --> 00:09:26,105 that are like really, really, really pale blue. 256 00:09:26,105 --> 00:09:26,585 Yes. 257 00:09:26,585 --> 00:09:27,945 And then along with... 258 00:09:27,945 --> 00:09:30,345 I'm trying to think of a really pale yellow flower here. 259 00:09:30,345 --> 00:09:30,905 Or a really deep... 260 00:09:30,905 --> 00:09:31,705 It's called meadow. 261 00:09:31,705 --> 00:09:32,505 Yeah, yeah. 262 00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:34,265 So you could go for really pale off the red. 263 00:09:34,265 --> 00:09:35,945 You could go for a really pale... 264 00:09:35,945 --> 00:09:36,745 Inky. 265 00:09:36,745 --> 00:09:37,065 Yeah. 266 00:09:37,065 --> 00:09:38,825 Color with your blues and your yellows. 267 00:09:38,825 --> 00:09:40,105 And that's like an English culture. 268 00:09:40,105 --> 00:09:41,785 And then the little is it, thank you. 269 00:09:41,785 --> 00:09:43,145 Yeah, so you've got the three. 270 00:09:43,145 --> 00:09:46,985 Because you instantly go to the bold favorite bright color. 271 00:09:46,985 --> 00:09:47,865 Yeah, the queues. 272 00:09:47,865 --> 00:09:48,745 The queues, yeah. 273 00:09:48,745 --> 00:09:50,265 That isn't necessarily where it is. 274 00:09:50,265 --> 00:09:53,865 You just need to think about how you pull it all together. 275 00:09:53,865 --> 00:09:56,585 And I think I've gone really techy with this 276 00:09:56,585 --> 00:09:58,105 because we were doing an episode on it. 277 00:09:58,105 --> 00:09:59,785 I really researched it. 278 00:09:59,785 --> 00:10:02,505 I honestly think that if you have colors in mind, 279 00:10:02,505 --> 00:10:04,265 just look about how they work together. 280 00:10:04,265 --> 00:10:07,625 Look at how you might have different shades and tones 281 00:10:07,625 --> 00:10:12,505 and hints off that hue of that main color to work. 282 00:10:12,505 --> 00:10:14,985 But if you've got an idea and that's because you love it, 283 00:10:14,985 --> 00:10:16,745 go for it. 284 00:10:16,745 --> 00:10:20,265 This is just sort of things to think about if you really are stuck. 285 00:10:20,265 --> 00:10:20,585 Yeah. 286 00:10:20,585 --> 00:10:23,065 And thinking about how you could make a start 287 00:10:23,065 --> 00:10:25,465 by looking at color wheels, seeing which colors you like. 288 00:10:25,465 --> 00:10:28,905 And how you can add color into it rather than just going, 289 00:10:28,905 --> 00:10:30,665 I don't know, let's just go green and white. 290 00:10:30,665 --> 00:10:31,865 Yes, exactly. 291 00:10:31,865 --> 00:10:34,105 You don't just need to stick with that. 292 00:10:34,105 --> 00:10:37,225 You can do something really beautiful that isn't. 293 00:10:37,225 --> 00:10:39,785 And I always think, especially in a marquee, 294 00:10:39,785 --> 00:10:41,305 adding some color in the table in it. 295 00:10:41,305 --> 00:10:42,665 Yes, like things like that. 296 00:10:42,665 --> 00:10:44,185 They're really simple places. 297 00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:49,625 You can add color and tones that will just soften 298 00:10:49,625 --> 00:10:53,705 and make your wedding more unique. 299 00:10:53,705 --> 00:10:58,105 Yeah, and even if you might have someone who picks pink wedding, 300 00:10:58,105 --> 00:11:01,145 but someone might be wanting, like, and this is monochromatic, 301 00:11:01,145 --> 00:11:03,145 because we always think of monochromes just being white, 302 00:11:03,145 --> 00:11:05,385 but monochromatic is using one color, 303 00:11:05,385 --> 00:11:08,505 but different hints, shades and tones. 304 00:11:08,505 --> 00:11:10,185 Yeah, so someone might choose pink, 305 00:11:10,185 --> 00:11:12,505 but go for the bolder or the deeper colors pink. 306 00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:14,745 And other ones, someone might have a different personality 307 00:11:14,745 --> 00:11:17,465 and go for the more subtle shades of pink. 308 00:11:17,465 --> 00:11:20,745 So there's lots of things to think out. 309 00:11:20,745 --> 00:11:22,105 And you can get really techy, 310 00:11:22,105 --> 00:11:26,185 but just having like a color wheel or looking at a color palette online 311 00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:28,025 is a really good way to see what colors 312 00:11:28,025 --> 00:11:30,585 that you don't necessarily think about might work together. 313 00:11:30,585 --> 00:11:33,705 And it doesn't have to be, you use those colors evenly 314 00:11:33,705 --> 00:11:36,985 throughout your wedding daily with as much emphasis on that color. 315 00:11:36,985 --> 00:11:39,705 Yeah, well yours was, you had a real specific color palette for you. 316 00:11:39,705 --> 00:11:41,705 Yeah, and I was popper sage and ivory. 317 00:11:41,705 --> 00:11:44,265 Yeah, I didn't really want too much color. 318 00:11:44,265 --> 00:11:46,025 You know, I'm boring, I was green and white, literally. 319 00:11:46,025 --> 00:11:46,825 Yeah, you're right. 320 00:11:46,825 --> 00:11:48,905 And then I had the copper, but we had quite a lot of copper. 321 00:11:48,905 --> 00:11:49,785 I like, because it was autumn. 322 00:11:49,785 --> 00:11:52,025 We had quite a lot of the metallic around. 323 00:11:52,025 --> 00:11:54,105 But then actually in our flowers, 324 00:11:54,105 --> 00:11:57,305 my florist bought out some purples like enthistles 325 00:11:57,305 --> 00:12:00,505 and some sort of oranges to kind of bring out that. 326 00:12:00,505 --> 00:12:03,625 And in the end, I did actually bring in almost like a... 327 00:12:03,625 --> 00:12:06,505 Like a mint color almost came in the hair as well 328 00:12:06,505 --> 00:12:08,745 with my bridesmaids outfits and some of the flowers 329 00:12:08,745 --> 00:12:10,745 being a bit more like that, which... 330 00:12:11,705 --> 00:12:14,185 I would probably do it all differently all again 331 00:12:14,185 --> 00:12:16,345 and have it much more, I don't know, the word. 332 00:12:16,345 --> 00:12:17,705 It's sophisticated color palette again. 333 00:12:17,705 --> 00:12:19,225 Well, mine was pink and sage. 334 00:12:19,225 --> 00:12:21,865 Mine was back then, like that was the colors I chose. 335 00:12:21,865 --> 00:12:24,425 Like we had sage ribbons on our order of services. 336 00:12:24,425 --> 00:12:25,785 The bridesmaids were going to be in sage 337 00:12:25,785 --> 00:12:27,465 and then we found pink ones that we like. 338 00:12:27,465 --> 00:12:29,385 Flowers are pink and green. 339 00:12:29,385 --> 00:12:31,145 Yeah, and shoes off. 340 00:12:31,145 --> 00:12:32,105 Yes, yeah. 341 00:12:32,105 --> 00:12:34,425 And that was all wedding. 342 00:12:34,425 --> 00:12:36,345 I just think there's so much you can do. 343 00:12:36,345 --> 00:12:39,225 My mind is up planting and I flower to match my color palette. 344 00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:40,185 Love it in the garden. 345 00:12:40,185 --> 00:12:41,385 I've got bridesmaid in that, isn't it? 346 00:12:41,385 --> 00:12:42,185 Yeah. 347 00:12:42,185 --> 00:12:43,625 It's a nice excuse to read you. 348 00:12:43,625 --> 00:12:44,185 Love it. 349 00:12:44,185 --> 00:12:45,225 That is lovely. 350 00:12:45,225 --> 00:12:47,145 And I think walking about gardens, 351 00:12:47,145 --> 00:12:48,745 if you're getting married in a marquee, 352 00:12:48,745 --> 00:12:50,265 look at the garden that it's in, 353 00:12:50,265 --> 00:12:51,625 then you look at the venue. 354 00:12:51,625 --> 00:12:53,625 But also take inspiration from... 355 00:12:53,625 --> 00:12:55,065 That's a bit crazy, but you know, 356 00:12:55,065 --> 00:12:57,705 take inspiration from nature or decor. 357 00:12:57,705 --> 00:12:58,345 What do you like? 358 00:12:58,345 --> 00:13:00,025 I always add textures and tones. 359 00:13:00,025 --> 00:13:02,265 Like I love looking at different textures 360 00:13:02,265 --> 00:13:04,825 and things, I think that gives you a real inspiration. 361 00:13:04,825 --> 00:13:07,705 Go on whatever you use to kind of like 362 00:13:07,705 --> 00:13:10,745 other you inspiration, Instagram, Pinterest, anything like that. 363 00:13:10,745 --> 00:13:12,985 Just start pinning photos. 364 00:13:12,985 --> 00:13:14,905 That's what I tell my couples to do. 365 00:13:14,905 --> 00:13:18,425 And from that, you will notice a trend that starts to appear. 366 00:13:18,425 --> 00:13:19,705 And it can be something like 367 00:13:19,705 --> 00:13:21,945 from an outfit or a woman's wearing that you really like. 368 00:13:21,945 --> 00:13:23,225 Or it could be flowers. 369 00:13:23,225 --> 00:13:24,665 It could be an armchair. 370 00:13:24,665 --> 00:13:25,865 It could be an armchair. 371 00:13:25,865 --> 00:13:28,985 And it's pretty anything that you are drawn to 372 00:13:28,985 --> 00:13:31,785 will help bring together your natural palette. 373 00:13:31,785 --> 00:13:33,865 I think the textures is a really good point 374 00:13:33,865 --> 00:13:35,625 because you can bring in different... 375 00:13:35,625 --> 00:13:37,225 You might like a velvet. 376 00:13:37,225 --> 00:13:39,065 Or you might like like satin effect. 377 00:13:39,065 --> 00:13:40,585 You know, and it just... 378 00:13:40,585 --> 00:13:43,865 That also goes with the aesthetics and like design of your wedding. 379 00:13:43,865 --> 00:13:44,585 Isn't it? 380 00:13:44,585 --> 00:13:47,945 And also down to smooth bud vases to textured ones. 381 00:13:47,945 --> 00:13:50,265 I really have a thing at the moment for like 382 00:13:50,265 --> 00:13:51,625 boxed your ceramic. 383 00:13:51,625 --> 00:13:52,185 Yeah. 384 00:13:52,185 --> 00:13:55,625 I don't know why it just looks like just nice. 385 00:13:55,625 --> 00:13:57,225 Yeah, and just adds a bit of texture. 386 00:13:57,225 --> 00:13:59,865 So there's just lots of places to get inspiration. 387 00:13:59,865 --> 00:14:02,025 If you are really stuck, look at Color Wheel. 388 00:14:02,025 --> 00:14:03,465 Look at Color Palette. 389 00:14:03,465 --> 00:14:04,985 But some people are just more... 390 00:14:04,985 --> 00:14:06,345 This is what I like because I'm doing it. 391 00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:08,905 But if you like thinking about the seasons, 392 00:14:08,905 --> 00:14:11,145 warmth of the colors, 393 00:14:11,145 --> 00:14:14,425 you know, getting a bit creative with using colors on a color wheel, 394 00:14:14,425 --> 00:14:16,825 then you know, I just picked up a color wheel on Amazon 395 00:14:16,825 --> 00:14:19,145 and it literally told me, like, you spin it. 396 00:14:19,145 --> 00:14:21,305 Like a toy, like a little children's research. 397 00:14:21,305 --> 00:14:22,265 I know, you brought it on. 398 00:14:22,265 --> 00:14:23,625 I'm just saying right in the head. 399 00:14:23,625 --> 00:14:24,425 I'm doing a man. 400 00:14:24,425 --> 00:14:26,185 You spin it and it tells you the trick... 401 00:14:26,185 --> 00:14:27,785 Like, it literally has little holes 402 00:14:27,785 --> 00:14:29,145 so it shows you which are the triads, 403 00:14:29,145 --> 00:14:30,505 which are the split commentaries 404 00:14:30,505 --> 00:14:31,945 and explains the tones and everything. 405 00:14:31,945 --> 00:14:34,745 And it's just just a good way to explore color 406 00:14:34,745 --> 00:14:35,465 if you're a bit stuck. 407 00:14:35,465 --> 00:14:36,825 I think the important thing is 408 00:14:36,825 --> 00:14:38,425 is to not be afraid of color. 409 00:14:38,425 --> 00:14:38,825 Yes. 410 00:14:38,825 --> 00:14:40,265 I think lots of people are afraid 411 00:14:40,265 --> 00:14:41,865 and it comes down to like your home decor. 412 00:14:41,865 --> 00:14:43,865 So lots of people are afraid of color. 413 00:14:43,865 --> 00:14:44,345 Yeah. 414 00:14:44,345 --> 00:14:46,185 And color can really, really... 415 00:14:46,185 --> 00:14:48,425 Not definitely. 416 00:14:48,425 --> 00:14:51,385 So I think what would your top tip be 417 00:14:51,385 --> 00:14:54,025 when people should choose their color palette? 418 00:14:54,025 --> 00:14:54,825 Natasha. 419 00:14:54,825 --> 00:14:55,865 I mean, we've probably said it. 420 00:14:55,865 --> 00:14:58,505 I think it should be one of the first things you think about, 421 00:14:58,505 --> 00:14:59,625 yeah, really. 422 00:14:59,625 --> 00:15:02,585

00:15:09,545 Now that is such a huge part 426 00:15:09,545 --> 00:15:11,705 because, you know, even when you look at the colors 427 00:15:11,705 --> 00:15:13,145 and the tones and the tints, 428 00:15:13,145 --> 00:15:16,665 if you're going with soft muted colors, 429 00:15:16,665 --> 00:15:18,905 that's going to have an impact on how your day feels. 430 00:15:18,905 --> 00:15:22,025 Like, are you after a soft muted, elegant day 431 00:15:22,025 --> 00:15:23,865 or are you after something cold and fun? 432 00:15:23,865 --> 00:15:24,825 It's vibrant. 433 00:15:24,825 --> 00:15:26,105 I am. 434 00:15:26,105 --> 00:15:29,785 But it all will have such an impact on your day. 435 00:15:29,785 --> 00:15:30,345 It does. 436 00:15:30,345 --> 00:15:31,385 The whole thing links. 437 00:15:31,385 --> 00:15:33,945 So start with your color palette once you've got your day. 438 00:15:33,945 --> 00:15:35,305 And if you get it right, 439 00:15:35,305 --> 00:15:38,025 it's a really easy way to make your event look. 440 00:15:38,025 --> 00:15:39,705 So, like, you're a really good way to seemless. 441 00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:40,265 Yeah. 442 00:15:40,265 --> 00:15:43,065 And to make the design look really elevated 443 00:15:43,065 --> 00:15:44,665 if you're just using color correctly 444 00:15:44,665 --> 00:15:47,465 and have made it, like, considered it from the start. 445
