Bold Brides Will Love This Bright and Sunny Color Palette Inspired by Mexico City

Mexico City has become more of a destination hotspot in the past couple of years, and it’s easy to see why! Beautiful architecture, an inspiring art scene, and piles of delicious restaurants are just a few reasons it is so beloved. So what better a place to pull wedding inspiration from? This vibe works perfectly for the bride that’s a little artsy with a hint of boho — rich textural elements, hand painted details, and rich, hot colors make for a bold and playful palette.

The trick to keeping this palette consistent and not overwhelming is to choose a few bold colors (we like red, orange, and yellow, here) and then add in pops (just hints!) of secondary bright colors. For instance, the beautiful lush bouquet featured below is overflowing with yellows and orange, but we also choose to include a bright magenta that could almost be a red at first glance. The trailing greenery also helps to break up all the color, a must for any well balanced bouquet. Similarly, keep your centerpieces bright too, and then choose a runner that is more toned down — we think a colorful tablecloth with a cutout runner could be festive as long as the palette is consistent!

For table numbers, go shopping at a local flea market for loose tiles (you can also find a plethora of gorgeous hand-painted tiles online), and have your calligrapher paint numbers on each one. You can take them all home and mount them on your wall in a grid afterwards as a pretty memento that doubles as art! Hand out Taza chocolate (that come in a bunch of delicious flavors, like cinnamon) as favors for your guests to nibble on, or they can take the chocolate home and melt it into a super rich hot chocolate.

For your ‘maids, we love the idea of a festive printed dress in your palette (with such bright colors it’s less chaotic having different shaped dresses in the same color or choosing one print and all the same dress), and keep the bouquets a little more subdued if you’re incorporating a ton of color in their dresses already.

Keep your wedding dress laid back and streamlined — so much color calls for simple and modern, nothing fussy. If anything, save the color for your shoes (like these red Gianvito Rossi’s) and bouquet.

If you’re having your wedding outside, pass out fans to your guests that echo a classic Mexican papel piecado banner in white — they’ll not only keep guests cool, but make for Instagram-worthy photos.

Our Bridal Muse: Audrey Hepburn As Jo Stockton

As gorgeous as Audrey Hepburn’s own wedding gown was, there is something endearing and spellbinding about the cheap evening dresses uk she donned in Funny Face (1957), as Jo Stockton. Perhaps considered the quintessential short wedding dress, the simplicity and classic appeal of her character’s bridal costume cannot be denied.

744ec9b79f1349494c51a9422b4bab57The straight neckline, capped sleeve and dropped waistline are perfectly suited to Hepburn’s petite frame. The volume of the skirt does not disguise her tiny waist as it cleverly starts from the hips, and its tea-length hem is both practical and beautiful. It ends just at the lower calf, allowing her to dance and move, whilst still embodying gracefulness and soft femininity. The stunning photograph of Hepburn being spun into the air by her co-star Fred Astaire captures this feeling perfectly.

In terms of accessories, the look is quite minimal. The veil is light with a dotted texture, topped with a charming bow. It appears to be tucked in toward the back of the dress creating volume around the shoulders – a nice touch of drama around the face. The veil then flows down her back to the hem of the dress, however it looks particularly gorgeous when it is gathered around her arm. Pearl earrings, round-toe shoes with a low heel and plain white gloves complete the look.

The beauty style is representative of Hepburn’s signature look. Her enviable eyebrows are thick and dark, sitting atop dark lined eyes and finished with a soft rosy lip. Her hair is pulled back tightly, forming a bun to the back of the head which is hidden by the veil, emphasising her beautiful face without distraction.

Audrey Hepburn/Jo Stockton is inspiration for any bride lusting after a classic and minimal approach to bridal wear. She is particularly important for brides who are working with a petite frame, as everything in this look is working with Hepburn’s height and figure.
