Stripes!

Why do us Brits not incorporate many patterns into our wedding? Are we intimidated by them, or are we just not confident using them effectively? 

Now i am not suggesting we all go mental and have horrible clashing patterns all over the place, but put in the right place, they really can look gorgeous! 

Stripes are really popular at the moment. They add a really modern feel to the day and can also look pretty quirky (if that's what you are looking for!)

As you can see, stripes don't have to be garish and in your face. You can get the effect of stripes with pleating and textures. 

However if you did want to go really OTT, it can look wonderful! Black and white stripes can look so clean and fresh, especially if you also added an accent colour, such as yellow or fushia. If you are feeling really brave, start clashing colours....go on have a go, you might like it!
