Asoebi

Have your guests contribute to the lovely décor with a variety of asoebi styles in these colours.

 

 

Wedding season officially started after Easter and since then, we have seen remarkable shades of pink and red grace the wedding guest aso-ebi lineup, décor and general wedding themes. Burgundy is a strong colour, a little goes a long way so with décor, all you need is a 70- 30% balance of Pale pink to burgundy in this combination. With traditional wear however, you can go all out. Our native clothes are beautiful in strong colours. Are you wondering what’s so special about these colours?  Get your design and fashion inspiration from these particular shades (pale pink and burgundy) with these ideas:

 

Traditional Wear

Looking for the perfect colours to match with your sweetheart? Pale pink looks good on guys too; it can be worn as the dominant colour while burgundy can be used for the gele and fila. Some material may actually have pale pink inserts already so it creates a perfect balance.

Flowers and Bouquets

A mix of pink and red roses in your bridal bouquet will serve for a nice summer wedding somewhere full of greenery and a gentle breeze. An ideal mix would be a bouquet with more pink roses and strategically placed red ones. These flower arrangements can also be placed strategically as centrepieces on guests’ tables.

Wedding Cake

Pale pink and burgundy fondant design on a classic tiered wedding cake will never look odd. Using a white (or pale pink) as the dominant colour will make the actual design pop and have you craving sugar!

Groom & Groomsmen

A burgundy suit and pale pink shirt is a great combination for the groom and his groomsmen. Its everything from sharp and classy to stylish and dapper. Black is getting boring, let the guys give us a pop of colour too!

Invitations and Menus

Take your theme to a colourful level with burgundy bows and pale pink flowers in the hands of your guests. Make them anticipate your special day with an elegant invitation card to border on your theme. Use good quality parchment to present your special three-course meal line-up; after all, there’s something royal about burgundy, it must be its affiliation to velvet!
