A few weeks ago we set you the challenge to design your take on a wedding inspiration board themed on one of the 12 gorgeous colours Pantone predicts will be trending in Spring 2018. And boy did you all take up the challenge! We received a record number of entries which we whittled down with difficulty to just three finalists per colour. The tough job of picking an overall winner for each colour story fell to our guest judge, wedding inspiration expert Louise Beukes, editor of the wonderful B.Loved blog.
So without further ado, it gives us great pleasure to present Louise’s winners of the Spring 2018 Pantone Colour Trend Challenge!

I am a planner and coordinator and wanted to add styling to my services so decided to enrol on the styling course the wedding academy provide and it was the best decision.

I started the Certificate in Wedding Planning course in 2022 and although I had a couple of setbacks, I could complete the course in December 2024 just before Christmas! The team and the Facebook group are supportive and encouraging, the information is helpful and helps you to understand the different aspects of being a wedding planner and the roles that come it.

The courses are well thought out and the live classes are AMAZING! I really like that the courses aren't focused on selling you into the next course. You take what you need and if you are not sure, the advisors are there to help. ❤

From my very first contact with the Wedding Academy, I have felt part of a wonderful, supportive community. The courses are well explained and there are a multitude of avenues to get additional information and support if required.
