For those planning a wedding this year or next, and needing some colour inspiration, have you considered oxblood"  ?What colour is oxblood"? I hear you ask.  Well, oxblood is a colour that is considered to be a dark shade of red, it resembles burgundy, with more purple and dark brown hues.  It is also known as the ?new cool red? – oxblood is very much the on-trend colour ? ?the colour of the moment? – and is appearing on runways and sidewalks alike.  Ideal for those autumn and winter weddings mixed in with hints of copper and gold for some ?wow-factor?, but equally lovely mixed with soft blush pinks and warm creams for those summer weddings.  Rich vivid colours such as deep clarets and magentas add a lovely sense of warmth and comfort, pairing these with peach and brighter reds also makes a striking contrast.  Other similar colours to oxblood could also be burgundy, beaujolais, marsala, maroon, mahogany, plum or wine. When you?re planning your wedding and are deciding on a colour theme for your flowers, this tends to be dictated by the colour of the bridesmaids? dresses; so complementary colours such as navy or gold dresses would complement this opulent colour.  Just a quick top tip however; although oxblood tends to suit most skin and hair colours, take care if you have a blonde bridesmaid with pale skin, as this colour can be draining if it is too dark.
