Cool days ... Backdrop

Creating a backdrop may sound like a mammoth task, but there are lots of options available to help you create that masterpiece perfect for your wedding. Lengths of ribbons and cloth bring wonderful softness, and handmade paper pinwheel fans add interesting dimension and texture to a display. Try one that fits your style.

Dress it ... bridesmaid: Cool Days

Lovely aqua ombre maxi dress, it's a great way to incorporate mint, turquoise and cobalt blue without going all out with any one colour on the dress.

Cool Days ... Drink it up

Signature drinks are a great addition to a wedding, guests get to sample a concoction that reflects your tastes and it's a wonderful way of incorporating your wedding theme into the food. Can't decide on what cocktails to serve? Work with a bartender to come up with some great mixes, and invite the girls for a cocktail sampling bridal party. It'll be lots of fun.

Cool Days ... Getaway Van

Everything in this shot falls into place, the mint green gown and vintage Volkswagen van. Just a touch of florals and ribbons to decorate the van, and don't forget to add the "Just Married" sign at the back.

Styleboard: Cool Days

I love the coolness of mint cream. The colour pale and soft, is enough to cool you down on a hot summer day, with a caprioska in hand of course. It makes a wonderful colour palette teamed with turquoise and cobalt blue. I envision the colours for an urban wedding. A white loft space decorated with white table linens, dotted with mint, turquoise and cobalt blue decor.
