Ivory
Timeless, elegant and endlessly versatile, Ivory is our most popular wedding colour. Warmer than White, it works beautifully with cream florals, neutral linens and gold or brass candlestick holders. Ivory suits almost every venue — from grand country houses to intimate barn receptions — and pairs perfectly with Natural Nude for a soft, layered look.
Best for: Classic weddings, neutral palettes, cream and white florals, gold or brass holders
Pairs well with: Natural Nude, White
White
Clean, crisp and effortlessly chic, White is the most versatile colour in our collection. It suits every theme and works with virtually any colour palette — making it a safe and elegant choice for couples who want their candles to blend seamlessly into the styling rather than stand out. Particularly striking against dark tablecloths or moody floral arrangements.
Best for: Modern and minimalist weddings, monochrome styling, dark tablecloths, any theme
Pairs well with: Ivory, Burgundy Red, Moss Green
Dusty Rose Pink
Soft, romantic and incredibly photogenic, Dusty Rose Pink is a perennial favourite for spring and summer weddings. It adds warmth and softness to any tablescape without feeling overpowering, and it photographs beautifully in both natural and evening light. Works wonderfully alongside dried florals, pampas grass and neutral linen runners.
Best for: Spring and summer weddings, romantic and bohemian styling, blush and nude palettes, garden receptions
Pairs well with: Ivory, Natural Nude, Lilac
Natural Nude
Warm, earthy and quietly sophisticated, Natural Nude has become one of our most requested shades for modern weddings. It sits beautifully within natural, organic and minimalist tablescapes and adds warmth without introducing a strong colour. An excellent choice for couples who want a premium look that feels understated and refined.
Best for: Minimalist and organic styling, terracotta and earthy palettes, boho and rustic weddings, autumn celebrations
Pairs well with: Ivory, Dusty Rose Pink, Moss Green
Moss Green
Fresh, natural and increasingly popular, Moss Green brings an organic, contemporary feel to wedding tables. It works brilliantly alongside lush greenery-led floral arrangements and suits venues with natural surroundings — barn conversions, garden marquees and woodland settings in particular. A bold choice that always draws compliments.
Best for: Autumn and spring weddings, greenery-led florals, barn and garden venues, natural and organic themes
Pairs well with: Natural Nude, White, Ivory
Burgundy Red
Rich, dramatic and luxurious, Burgundy Red makes a statement on any wedding table. It suits autumn and winter weddings particularly well and creates a beautifully moody, editorial atmosphere in the evening when lit. Pair with dark foliage, deep red roses or dried botanicals for maximum impact.
Best for: Autumn and winter weddings, dramatic and moody styling, evening receptions, dark or jewel-toned palettes
Pairs well with: White, Ivory, Moss Green
Lilac
Delicate, dreamy and feminine, Lilac is the perfect choice for countryside weddings and soft pastel palettes. It adds a gentle wash of colour without overwhelming the table and works especially well with lavender, wisteria and soft purple florals. A beautiful choice for late spring and early summer celebrations.
Best for: Countryside and garden weddings, pastel and floral palettes, spring and early summer, lavender-themed styling
Pairs well with: Dusty Rose Pink, Ivory, Natural Nude
Sky Blue
Fresh, serene and beautifully distinctive, Sky Blue is a wonderful way to incorporate your something blue into your wedding styling. It suits coastal, garden and summer weddings particularly well and adds an unexpected but considered touch of colour to neutral tablescapes. A conversation starter that always photographs beautifully.
Best for: Summer and coastal weddings, something blue styling, fresh and airy themes, neutral tablescapes with a colour accent
Pairs well with: White, Ivory, Natural Nude
Mixing colours
One of the most effective styling techniques is combining two complementary shades on the same table. This creates depth, dimension and a more curated, intentional look. Some of our favourite combinations:
- Ivory + Natural Nude — soft, warm and effortlessly elegant
- Dusty Rose Pink + Lilac — romantic and dreamy for pastel palettes
- Burgundy Red + Moss Green — rich and dramatic for autumn celebrations
- White + Moss Green — fresh, modern and striking
- Natural Nude + Moss Green — earthy, organic and beautifully natural
When mixing, we recommend using one colour as the dominant shade (around two thirds of your candles) and the second as an accent (one third). This keeps the look cohesive rather than busy.
Still not sure?
We recommend ordering a single pack of your shortlisted colours before placing your full order. This lets you see exactly how each shade looks in your venue's light — something a screen can never fully replicate.
