Motivated by the new Spring Season now upon us - we take influence from the Spring Summer catwalk runways that were dominated by colours ranging from classic pastels to dark cherry reds.
Be inspired by what is a key colour this season for your next couture …
Ranging from dark to pastels - green were evident on the runways with designers using them in colour blocking and monochrome styles. From our pastel light Spearmint such as dress BDD019PP , to Apple Green with dramatic black features such as BDD519PP , and emerald green incorporating sugar pink for a romantic, softer style such as BDD977NN . Crystal colours in emerald, shamrock and green tourmaline work well with this colour.
HEMATITE
A beautiful shade of grey with a slight blue hue this colour can be mixed with shades such as sugar pink and gold in dress BDD890NN , or experiment with shading from silver to hematite like in the dress BDD884NN . Enhance with crystals in shades of crystal and pink tones to accentuate the colour. Crystals in colours jet hematite, black diamond, crystal and crystal AB work well with this shade.
LILAC DREAM
A popular colour on the runways and the dancefloor lilac is a beautiful shade of violet with a slight pink hue. Enhance with crystals in crystal and yellow tones such as dress BDD559PP or be head to toe in lilac creating texture with ruching such as dress BDD483PP and lace in dress BDD456PP. Crystals in colours amethyst, light amethyst, violet and tanzanite are a great match against this shade.
PASTEL BLUE
Shades of pastel blue such as our Bluebell and Ice Blue look great on the dancefloor and was a popular shade on the catwalk. Take inspiration from our Bluebell couture with shades of crystals and sequinned fabric in dress BDD425PP , or enhance Ice Blue with citrine crystals as shown in dress BDD660NN. Crystals in colour light sapphire, aquamarine and turquoise match well.
COBALT
A dramatic shade of blue this colour looks great under the spotlights; as worn by Irina with a ruched velvet bodice and satin chiffon skirts in dress BDD487PP , or for a lighter shade of electric blue enhanced with impressive shading to black in dress BDD013NN. Crystals in colours montana, sapphire, capri blue and dark indigo best match this shade.
METALLIC GOLD
Bold and refined add a touch of gold to your couture. Emanuella had embellished panels and shaded layered skirts in her dress BDD560PP , Irina used shading white to gold in her godets and floats with topaz and crystal embellishment on dress BDD442PP , and Olga’s Internationals couture BDD362PP featured gold godets and floats in satin chiffon creating an opulent finish.
BUTTERCREAM
A springtime classic, pastel yellow was prominent on the runways. Create rich textures with pleated fabric in your skirts and floats, enhance with feathers and embellish with crystals. Take inspiration with mixing block colours like dress BDD952NN mixed with lilac dream, or create rich accents incorporating gold features in dress BDD603NN
Red is always one of the most popular colours on the catwalk and the dancefloor - with this season is no exception. However a shift to deeper, opulent tones such as cherry red and wine take precedence. Take inspiration from Natascha’s wine couture with a cappuccino bodice embellished with white pearls and adorned feather boas, fringe and goose shading from wine to white BDD514PP , or dress head to toe in a column of colour creating texture with pleating and ruching in Sophia’s dress BDD460PP
