Supplier Love News

Let’s dive into all the latest from WWW’s wedding supplier members.

Rainbow Club

While the weather may have us thinking otherwise, the new season is quickly approaching bringing with it a spectrum of dopamine-inducing colours that will soon be drenching our wardrobes. Taking inspiration from the latest hues hitting the catwalk, Rainbow Club’s revitalised Colour Studio palette features 40 stand-out shades from lust-worthy neutrals to all-out brights that can be painted over almost any of their fashion-forward silhouettes.

Our must-have shades for the season? ‘Fuschia’ and ‘Burnt Orange’. With Viva Magenta officially Pantone’s shade of the year and fiery orange influences making a strong comeback for Spring, we predict that these punchy shades will be essential for any occasion!

Launching on 1st of Februrary, the Capsule colouring service is priced at £20 per pair and Bespoke (dye-to-match) at £40. Both options come with Rainbow Club’s Extreme Protection technology free of charge. The SS23 collection is now available to pre-order at rainbowclub.co.uk.
