The concept of a "white wedding" is becoming outdated for Gen-Z couples. Instead, they are opting for non-traditional colours such as black, emerald green, and bold jewel tones. These colours create a unique and modern look for your wedding day. Consider incorporating your chosen colour scheme into your wedding dress, cake, and décor for a cohesive and stunning overall look.
