Sometimes you want a more unusual colour combination for your wedding, or maybe you are taking inspiration from a particular flower or fabric. Orange and purple is one combination we have been asked for at Glamourous Gowns it may sound wild but the colours blend very well.

Buy organza or tulle in orange and purple to make ceiling swags or chair sashes - Just £7 per 40cm x 9m roll of organza or £12.50 per 29cm x 25m of chiffon, wide wired edge ribbon also works well to make chair sashes. Think bird of paradise flowers and weddings abroad.

As usual we have gathered a selection of ideas and put them in a mood board to give you some ideas.

The dresses shown are from Forever Yours Expressions Bridesmaids .

Now you have seen our mood board why not create your own? or check out the other colour combinations we have online.

You can use magazines, bridal magazines, country garden magazines or any other source. Collect your ideas together in a plastic wallet and then, when you are ready, sort through and choose your favourite elements.
