If there was ever a colour that represented sophistication and class, navy blue would be the strongest contender. Timeless and classic, it's easy to see why so many brides opt for a navy wedding theme on their special day. Softer and, dare we say, more flattering than black, magnificent midnight hues never fail to make a statement of luxurious style.
A classic colour combination, dark navy and fresh white or timeless ivory contrast beautifully. Many brides worry about incorporating such a dark shade into their wedding but, by opting for subtle midnight flashes rather than blocks of colour, it's simple to achieve a overall style of lightness. Focus on having the little details in the darkest hue; bridesmaid dresses in white or ivory with navy sashes and deep blue jewellery, white table linen with navy napkins or white flowers tied with draping midnight ribbons. For a summer wedding, your groom and his party can subtly play up the theme with light linen suits and a navy bow tie and, for a winter or formal style, a dark blue suit is always a classic look.

If you feel a navy wedding theme is a little too masculine, don't be afraid to mix delicate pastels for a softer, feminine touch. An injection of fresh summer peach tones or romantic blush are the perfect shades to complement the dramatic depths of navy. Simply introducing pastel hues in your bridesmaids' accessories, bouquets or your table centrepieces will instantly create a delicate contrast. Looking for more drama? Amp the subtle peach or pink tones up a level to a brighter orange or cerise for maximum impact.
