HOW TO CHOOSE WHAT TO PURCHASE?

​These questions will help you decide on the kind of style that you and your partner want.


1. Your favorite colors? Think about your favorite colors and see if they pair well. You can start browsing different color combinations by searching «wedding color palettes» to see if any will catch your eye.


2. The season? Different seasons offer different atmospheres and natural colors. For example, if you've decided to have a Spring elopement, soft colors such as blush or light blue will be perfect.
