Metallic colours like gold work wonderfully well in almost every setting; from cosy winter weddings full of berry tones to fresh and sunny summer weddings paired with pastels or zingy brights. Once solely associated with the festive months of November and December, gold wedding themes are now seen throughout the year at weddings where brides are matching gold with lighter colours of pink, peach and mint green. Props like gold charger plates are easy to find and add luxurious depth to table settings when dressed next to gold candles and napkin rings. Similarly the popularity of gold foil stationery and foiled décor has boosted the popularity of gold as a wedding colour of choice.
