This smart colour is perfect for Winter and the stark contrast between navy and ivory is strikingly chic and has a decidedly French feel. The inspiration for this theme comes from midnight skies which evoke Romance and mystery. Crisp lines and spots all work with this colour. Brides could wear a simple duchess satin outfit with a velvet spotted veil. The pageboys can mix navy velvet shorts with pleated navy taffeta cummerbunds, a taffeta silk shirt with peter pan collar and navy buttons and the bridesmaids can wear ivory taffeta dresses with long sleeves, a peter pan collar and matching pleated taffeta sash.

The cake is simple and either nude or with ridged icing and topped with blueberries and tiny sprigs of gypsophilla. For the flowers white roses can be dressed up with navy ribbons and hang little tealights overhead so your guests think they are dining out under the stars.
