Blush Colour Inspiration for City Weddings in Spain

We adore the blush colour, it is such a pretty feminine pastel shade, not quite pale pink or peach, it is what we refer to as a ballet shoe colour. 

Combined with touches of gold and a hint of black or navy oozes chic, style and romance.

This colour scheme would be perfect for a smart, city style black tie wedding in one of our fabulous Spanish cities such as Barcelona or Madrid.

I am dreaming of blackberries popped into sparkling pink cava, touches of gold glitter, lots of soft floaty blush ruffles contrasting with white starched shirts and black bow ties, heavenly roses set into gold and glass containers, beautiful blush macarons presented in black and ivory chanel style boxes as favours tied with black grosgrain ribbons and plenty of romantic candle light.  

I have created two inspiration boards tonight with this gorgeous wedding colour to share with you so I hope you enjoy them and they inspire you.

Reviva Weddings in Madrid

Spain is a gloriously passionate and vibrant country and home to many beautiful cities such as Barcelona, Seville, Granada and Madrid to name a famous few.  

These cities are full of history, steeped in culture and historical buildings, famous tapas, and hugely popular cuisine combined with their passionate flamenco and haunting Spanish guitar, I cannot think of a more romantic country to host a gorgeous wedding!

Everyone I know who has visited Spain, unless they have visited the kiss me quick areas, I think will agree with me!

  

Spain´s unique history and traditions evoke drama and a very theatrical setting for any visit or event, particularly a romantic wedding and you cannot help but get swept up in this wonderful country´s charm, passion and romance and of course love their culture, partying, fiestas and food!

There are many different aspects to Spain I adore as I travel around this country.  
I attend many weddings and events and as I drive through spectacular fields full of sunflowers and orchards dripping with white almond blossoms , stunning mountain scenery and super chic urban cities, I am so grateful I live here as it is such a beautiful place to be.

We enjoy many diverse cultures, from our coastlines full of delighted tourists seeking sun drenched beaches and enjoying the famous chiringuitos and clubs in Marbella to the chilled out beaches of the windsurfing capital, Tarifa.  

Then we have the rather refined and beautiful inland rustic haciendas and cortijos dotted all around inland Spain that exude charm, history and tranquility combined with luxury and are wonderful places to stay and host your wedding or event.

Hop into the cities of Spain and we are shouting urban chic, beautiful historic buildings and palaces, wonderful plazas with fountains, luxury hotels and an amazing range of Spanish culture and cuisine.  

Our Mediterranean weather here does not play an overall importance, in fact if you have stylish brollie to hand then so much better!  

You are not relying on the sun to shine on your day with a city wedding and having hosted many weddings here in the south of Spain this plays such a key role that sometimes it can be disappointing.  

We know all our clients want Spanish sunshine but organising a wedding in Spain is such a fabulous occasion if you host a city wedding and not relying on the weather you are onto a winner all ways.

 Spain is a country that has so much to offer visitors and there is a wide range of fabulous weddings and events you can host here in Spain.

We are delighted now to launch Reviva Madrid, creating gorgeous weddings in Spain´s capital city and surrounding areas including Toledo.

A Spanish Flag Wedding Colour Inspiration, Passionate Reds and Marigold Yellows

Tonight I have been playing around with the colours of the Spanish flag using the deep passionate reds combined with the sunny marigold hues and designing ideas on how to translate this colour combo into a wedding as it is really quite a harsh colour scheme but executed properly would be fabulous and we love doing fabulous!

Spain is so evocative of these colours, from their red and yellow flag to the colours of the famous sangria all provides a wonderful Spanish colour scheme to use as a base for your wedding or party.  

There are so many fun elements drawn from the Spanish culture that we have incorporated into our previous wedding designs, from the use of the black Osborne bull as a vehicle to create place cards and table seating plans to Spanish lace fans and Sevillian oranges and sunflowers, really the list is endless which is rather exciting as I am constantly drawing on Spanish culture to translate into ideas for our weddings and am spoilt for choice.

Reviva Weddings have not only absorbed the Spanish culture into our weddings but have also now expanded across Spain.  

We will be announcing our exciting news this week as we pop up officially in all the major cities around Spain including Barcelona, Madrid and Seville.

A Soft Yellow Colour Palette for Weddings

Spring has sprung I hope finally here in Southern Spain.

 Our weather prediction has a big yellow thing in the sky tomorrow so fingers crossed after two months of what seems like eternal rain our famous Mediterranean summer is just around the corner!

Here at Reviva we have been looking at lots of colour trends and yellows are currently predominant along with purples being featured in many spring inspirations so we thought we would create an inspiration board using this beautiful buttery hue, a colour that works well with pinks and golds as well as lilacs and soft blues.

We are also designing some desert tables and love this one featured on Amy Atlas along with some fabulous images found on Pinterest.

Marbella Video Productions by Silverscreen Weddings

Gone are the days of your uncle or father in law gliding around your wedding clutching his latest home video camera and announcing he will be taking care of your filming for your wedding day!  

My wedding video was created by my uncle and my father in law to be and I remember laughing as we watched the end results particularly at the beginning when "Tell Laura I Love Her" had been edited into the video along with falling confetti and we could see my uncle´s hands merrily scattering the petals!   Nevertheless we enjoyed it and loved seeing all our guests partying.  There were many parts of the day I was not witness to, as it all goes by so quickly, so it was wonderful to see such a special day from a different perspective captured onto video, albeit a very early version! 

It was put together with a lot of care and love by my uncle and I think it is fabulous this special occasion and a special part of my life was captured on movie film as well as documented in photos.  

Now I am going way back to the late eighties when there was no savvy, cinematic stylish documentaries of your wedding day available and video had only recently been invented.

But how times have changed and the videos we watch now of our wonderful couples on their magical and special days reduce me to tears every time.  These bespoke videos beautifully capture such precious moments, are amazingly edited and are like watching a romantic love film. 

I so wish I had something like this albeit I would probably be cringing at my large eighties hair do and shoulder pads but would love it all the same!  It is all a part of history and captures such magical and memorable moments.

I personally loved the fact all their tables were named after flowers with the top table called Lily, the name of their beautiful daughter, and that they did manage to get home the beautiful vintage white mirror table seating plan which is now hanging on their bedroom wall :)!
