Candlelit Romantic Wedding Style: Palette, Florals, and Moodboard
A candlelit romantic wedding is soft, warm, and lit almost entirely by flame. Blush and champagne carry the room, garden roses spill out of low silver bowls, and tapers do the work an overhead fixture never could. It reads as gold in every photograph, and it flatters everyone in it.
Blush and champagne, tapered candles, garden roses spilling from silver bowls. Golden hour every hour.
The candlelit romantic palette
Five colors, in the order they should appear in a room. Copy the hex values straight into your inspiration board or hand them to your florist and stationer.
