Oh How Charming!
Thursday, February 11th, 2010

One of our clients recently expressed her desire to incorporate “plum” into her wedding color palette so when we looked around for inspiration we came across this darling post from Southern Weddings. It incorporates exactly what weddings are all about…whimsical, elegant, and chic. What a way to start the week!
Calling all chocoholics! We can imagine a more perfect way to feed your craving than surrounding yourself with rich chocolate and a splash of champagne on your wedding day. Looking for a way to satisfy your romantic side? Candles are the perfect complement to these colors. This color combination is THE way to create an elegant, classic wedding in a modern way.

A unique color palette is a great way to make your wedding one-of-a-kind. If you want to enhance the element of romance consider using lavender. In any shade you choose, purple and red are the perfect balance of luxury and a dash of excitement for your wedding day!

Today’s inspiration board is formal, elegant, sophisticated, and gives a new meaning to black! We love how timeless and graceful this color palette is together. A room decorated in black and white makes everyone feel like they walked into a fantastic party!

Today’s Inspiration board was inspired by a client of ours, who loved the idea of incorporating yellow with gray. We not only agreed, but also wanted to see what we could come up with given this color palette. To our surprise, there were tons of photos incorporating the two colors! The difficult part was narrowing them all down to create an inspiration board for you today. We love the end result…it’s unique, fresh, and romantic. The perfect start to your week! Enjoy…
Today’s inspiration board was inspired by a blog fan who contacted us requesting a “nautical inspired” inspiration board incorporating white, green and khaki. She wanted it to look clean and simple as well as elegant and beautiful. The end result….simply breathtaking! The perfect start to a warm week! We absolutely love the idea of this fresh color palette which is casual yet elegant and simple yet stunning! Feel free to contact us anytime for a blog article request. We would love to hear from you! Happy Monday!

If romantic pinks have never been your style but you’re too traditional to venture out into some of the wilder color combos, today’s inspiration board may be right up your alley…or waterway, as the case may be. For the bride and groom who grew up on the water and knew how to sail a boat before they could drive a car, consider this classic, nautical-inspired combination of navy blue, bright yellow, and crisp white. This clean and timeless style is refreshing and unexpected – and sure to be remembered!
