Living Coral is the Pantone colour of the year and, we must say, we're rather partial to its warming, mood-boosting vibe, reminiscent of sweet summer days and Cornish sunsets. What's more, it's a perfect colour for pairing with other shades, especially grey, gold and navy; choose from subtle accents to an all-out medley of coral, peach and pink. This stationery suite from Hip Hip Hooray positively sings of summer, while this cake by Emily Hankins marries the trending shade with her signature hand-painted petals in oh-so captivating style.

PUT YOUR WEDDING ON THE MAP
A bespoke illustration is a great way of personalising your wedding. Renowned for her gorgeously luxe stationery designs, Nikki at Knots & Kisses also turns her hand to exquisite venue sketches and paintings to incorporate in to your wedding stationery. "The venue illustration collection is a beautiful concertina-style invitation with bespoke borders, motifs, venue paintings and maps all based around the theme of your wedding, your wedding venue or what makes you tick as a couple!" she explains. Each concertina can include all the information you need to let your guests know about your wedding and has a handy tear-off RSVP postcard for them to return to you.
PICK OF THE BUNCH
Balloons are having a moment in wedding world right now - from showstopping balloon installations to fun props for photos. These Crazy Bunches from Bubblegum Balloons are a fab idea, comprising a selection of specially chosen themed balloons; from colour-pop rainbow and fiesta vibes to chic rose gold and metallic, there's a bunch for every bride.
BERRY NICE!
Serve your guests a flavoursome local drink infused with the spirit of summer on W-day. From St Ives Liquor Company, Super Berry Gin is a special edition and handcrafted gin infused with a bevy of berries, juniper, kaffir lime leave and fruity hibiscus petals - a delight to swill at any time of year, but particularly on a sun-drenched day.
BRINGING THE GIN TO YOU!
This
could be one of coolest concepts we've seen for bringing gin to your
guests... Introducing south Devon-based 'Still on the Move', which
comprises a 1973 VW Pickup known as Ginny, lovingly restored and put
back to work with an Italian-made copper still. The result? A unique
vehicle that can travel anywhere to create your very own bespoke gin,
flavoured with your choice of spices and botanicals. Guaranteed to make a
fabulous and popular feature at your wedding, you might even gift your
guests your personalised tipple as wedding favours. We'll drink to
that!
