COCKTAILS
Something blue
F
or our summer issue, as usual we’ve chosen wedding cocktails to match our theme colours. Blue is a popular colour for weddings and it represents love, purity and faithfulness, which are all good qualities to bring to a marriage. Most brides traditionally include this colour in their wedding either as a piece of jewellery, item of clothing or in their bouquet. And this year a beautiful blue, to match our summer skies, and a shot of sunshine yellow, just happen to be on 2021’s top wedding shades list.
