Soft blush, classic ivory or greenery
Choosing a colour story for your heart arch
Your heart arch will be one of the most photographed moments of the day. The colour story you choose shapes the whole atmosphere — from the ceremony photographs to the way the space feels when you walk in.
At Hearts in Bloom, we dress our signature heart arch in a range of soft, romantic styles. Here is a simple guide to three of the most popular looks, and how to decide which one feels right for you.
Classic Ivory
Timeless, pure and quietly elegant.
Classic ivory is the choice for couples who want something soft and enduring. Ivory roses and white blooms create a clean, romantic frame that works beautifully in chapels, hotels and more formal settings. It photographs with a gentle glow and never competes with the rest of your day — it simply frames it.
Best for: Traditional or classic venues, soft neutral palettes, couples who want a look that will still feel beautiful in years to come.
Soft Blush Garden
Romantic, gentle and full of warmth.
Soft blush brings a tender, garden-inspired feel. Delicate blush and ivory roses with soft eucalyptus create a look that feels both romantic and natural. It suits outdoor ceremonies, garden venues and any celebration that leans towards soft colour rather than pure white.
Best for: Garden or outdoor settings, romantic and feminine themes, couples who want a little more colour without going bold.
Lush Ivory & Greenery
Abundant, natural and full of life.
This style leans into cascading greenery with soft ivory blooms. The result feels fresh, organic and full — ideal for couples who love a natural, gathered look. It works especially well in outdoor spaces, barns and venues with lots of natural light.
Best for: Outdoor and rustic venues, couples who prefer greenery-led styling, celebrations that feel relaxed and abundant.
“There is no single right answer — only what feels true to your day.”
How to choose
Think about your venue, the season, and the overall feeling you want. If you already have a colour palette for bridesmaids, flowers or stationery, we can tailor the arch to sit quietly within it.
Many couples start with one of these looks and then adjust the balance of blooms and greenery to suit their vision. Every arch is styled personally, so the finished result always feels considered rather than off-the-shelf.
