Vibrant & Modern Jewel Tone Wedding Ideas

Oh boy do I love these jewel tone wedding ideas. Inspired by the vibrant city of Marrakesh, Shropshire Wedding Planner wanted to create a destination feel wedding, right here in the UK. I love so much about this shoot, the gold decorations, the striking flowers and the tablescape featuring fruit, candles and gorgeous tableware. It all works so beautifully.

The aisle is decorated with hurricane lanterns, rugs and flowers which create such a cosy and romantic vibe. Let’s not forget the super stylish attire, elegant stationery suite and floral adorned cake too, which all looked incredible!

Thanks so much to Laura May Photography for sharing these inspirational images with us.

Jewel Tone Wedding Ideas

The vision for this shoot was to create the feel of a bold, colourful Marrakesh destination wedding without leaving the UK. With destination weddings being almost impossible during the last year I really wanted to do a shoot that would give couples ideas on how to create the feel of a destination wedding within the UK. I’d fallen in love with the ancient city of Marrakesh when I visited in January 2020 so I decided to draw inspiration from my trip.

I selected a colour palette of bright jewel tones to reflect the colour and vibrancy of Marrakesh and used handcrafted items from Wyle Blue World to create the tablescape. Wyle Blue World is one of Shrewsbury’s most iconic independent shops, located on the bustling and historic street of Wyle Cop. The Grade II listed building was a dry cleaners before Belinda renovated it and opened Wyle Blue World in 2016. Inspired by the city of Marrakesh, owner Belinda personally sources handmade items from artisans around the world. The Blue Bar opened last year and is a secret garden oasis in the heart of Shrewsbury with Moroccan vibes. The moment I discovered it I knew it was the perfect location for my shoot.

I wanted to create a bridal look that was fun but glam. I used two dresses from Charlie Brear’s 2021 Desert Dreamers collection to create two looks, a more traditional day look and a fun party look for the night. For the groom I kept it simple with a classic black tux. We kept hair and makeup fairly relaxed and natural, with a slightly darker eye for the ‘night’ look. All jewellery was provided by Wyle Blue World.

This shoot was a real passion project for me personally. I felt inspired to create really bold, colourful content to show couples what they could achieve for their own weddings. I want to make it easier for couples who are looking for inspiration for something less traditional, and hopefully this shoot does that.

I’d previously worked with the photographer Laura and florist Abi on my own wedding in December. Charlotte and Zach, the wonderful model couple, are childhood sweethearts and clients of mine who are getting married for real next year.
