Inspiration Board - Yellow

Yellow is an extremely bold colour. It is seldom applied in Asian weddings because somehow, the Asian skin tone does not seem to take well to this colour. A Singaporean friend of mine recently planned her wedding around a yellow and white theme. "Why?", I asked. Here's her reply: "My fiance is American and I am Chinese. So yellow and white is kind of symbolic to our skin tones".

Inspiration Board - Plum

This shade was discovered before Roman times through the use of harvesting and treating of a sea snail known as a mollusk. This tedious task provided very little dye, making the color very difficult and expensive to produce. Thus, plum was seen only amongst the noble. Today, we often hear about the colour plum in the context of makeup - lipstick, rouge and eye colour, but very seldom as a colour used in weddings. Perhaps it's time to explore this inviting and charming shade.

Inspiration Board - Burnt Orange

Burnt orange is a deep hue of orange. It was widely used in interior design in the 1970s, and also symbolizes the abundance of harvest. It is typically used in fall weddings, and has been gaining popularity with weddings in Asia. You may want to incorporate other autumn colors to complement the burnt orange theme, such as jungle green, gold, deep red, muted yellow, rust, and chocolate brown.
