My fieance propsed Saturday and I’m so happy. I need to see how he would feel about a rainbow theme wedding. I would really like some ideas to show him that won’t put him off. I would love it to be very elegant and tasteful.
I thought of the idea because my partner and I have a scrap book with different pictures of us and rainbows. When ever we see one we would take a photo on our phone and send to each other. Also it turned out when we first met our faviroute colour was the same purple. So thought i could have somthing with lilac in. Would be so greatful for ideas and inspiration. Thank you.
Some ideas I thought of let me know what you think.
Okay so they’re not bridesmaid dresses and it’s not quiet a rainbow but i love the idea of it being pastel colours and looking a bit like this
Love the idea of the shoes and buoquet being a rainbow but wouldnt’ know what colour to make they’re dresses. I’m not too fond of black.
I thought that i could have the end colour of the rainbow and have say a lilac bouqet and shoes and my fieance could have that colour in his suit. As his favrioute colour is also lilac.
Cake…?
With the flowers bieng different colours?
I’m not sure what to do about decoration do I make it rainbow them or keep it to lilac. I don’t want to over do it would like to keep it tasteful. Should the men keep to lilac or have a rainbow theme? Please help.
Many Thanks clarice

So many ideas thank you, i also love the very grand table decorations. Would this work if each table had a different colour theme but kept very simple?
I only like the tree in this picture not the chair or table covers. But I thought if the rest was kept simple each tree could be a different colour maybe pale and just a simple chair cover with the ribbon matching the tree. What do you think?
simlar idea with these as well?

Haha i wasn’t sold on the rainbow idea until i saw these inspiration boards and pictures – now i wish i’d had a rainbow wedding!!!!!
I would definitely go for the bold colours over pastels as i think the theme would be more obvious. I love the idea of having shoes/bouquets in the colours with a neutral coloured dress..

@Wonderwoman217: Me too! But I’m pretty sure Mr. Roux will lose his mind if I tried to change colours again.
@Clarice: I think neutral Bridesmaid or Best Man dresses with pops of colour in shoes/flowers sounds great. What about a latte or silver grey or slate grey?

I am having a multi coloured pastel wedding, and my girls are wearing something like this (apart from the green one). i suppose i could call mine a sweet pea wedding, because all the colours i am using are pink/purple/lilac pallette. and they will carry sweet peas of those colours too.

Assuming you don’t want your BMs to wear white dresses perhaps they should wear rainbow dresses and neutral shoes. Or they could wear rainbow dresses and matching shoes, if you don’t think that is too matchy matchy.
Another option is to have all of your BMs wear lilac (since that is your favorite color) then have their bouquets, maybe sashes and shoes be rainbow the rainbow colors.

@Vintage-me: Yes this is the type of thing I am thinking of as well. Thank you for posting. I love the whole pastle colours so lovely. .
Unfortantally i mentioned this to my fieance and he was not sold on the idea and still wanted to keep it just white and lilac but I’m sure I could maybe sell it to him a bit more. I would really love my bridesmaids to wear the same dresses but in different pastel colours. And have this on the cake.
Anyway if my fiance really doesn’t want a rainbow theme then of course we wouldn’t I don’t mind. But i would love hints of different pastel colours in our wedding. Found some more pictures.
I would have the cake a lot bigger though
Hehe Ignore the strange creature on top. I would have a traditional topper.
oOh My! I’m in Love !

@Butterbee: Thanks glad you like the idea as well. Same just slight hints of the rainbow theme should still keep the wedding elegant and not too over the top. Glad other people like it just wish my Fiance was more sold on the idea only very brifely mentioned it once so who knows maybe in the future … :-/ hehe
