Today's colour inspiration takes a step away from perfect pastels and crisp whites to showcase just how pretty a dark toned wedding can be. No, this isn't a grunge goth inspired-do but rather a Daring, Decadent and Dark Botanical Wedding Inspiration for those looking for something just a little bit different to the customary wedding colour shades. This truly romantic palette is brought to life with big attention grabbing blooms paired with dark moody shades, berry tones and just the perfect hint of pink...

How to create this Dark Botanical Wedding...

• Style: Floral print gowns are incredibly on trend at the moment so choose a gown with a beautiful bold botanical print to really wow your guests. This look is quite a glam look so for your maids choose floor length gowns in moody tones and for the guys go for slick tuxedos.
• Stationery: Choose black stationery with pretty floral illustrations paired with pretty fonts.
• Flowers: This wedding look is all about bringing drama with flowers. Adorn your ceremony and reception spaces with big attention grabbing centrepieces in Dutch Masters style arrangements. Pink blooms such as roses, ranunculus, dahlias, amaranthus and lots of trailing foliage. You could even add in seasonal fruit such as apples, figs, plums or berries for a truly authentic Dutch Masters look.
• Decor and Cake: Create a romantic and stunning visual impact with lots of moody candle-light and flowers everywhere. A dramatic floral print would be perfect as a ceremony or top-table/sweetheart table backdrop. For cake, try a soft iced confection with blooms and berries or go full on romance with a calligraphy wedding cake.
