Color Palette : Sand & Sea

Sand, surf and sky... is there a more beautiful setting for a spring or summer wedding? Today's color palette reflects the soft tranquility of the beach, played out in gentle hues of driftwood gray and muted coral, accented by crisp white and classic beige. Romantic. Intimate. Relaxed. This is one of my favorite color combinations - so much so that I used it at my own beach wedding!

Color Palette : Passion for Peacock

Eye-catching, yet tranquil. Elegant, yet trendy. It's not hard to see why peacock inspired weddings have sprung up everywhere. This color palette is inspired by the teal greens and muted blues that adorn the beautiful bird. By avoiding too many peacock themed items and incorporating the colors as accents to classic cream and white, the look is clean and chic without being over the top.

Color Palette : Sorbet Bliss

While "tangerine tango" may be the official color of the year, for spring weddings I'm thinking sorbet orange. This softer version of the popular power color is delicate and refined while still retaining the energizing qualities and radiant feel of it's bolder cousin. When mixed with other citrus inspired hues and refined by hints of classic gray - you have a color combo that's a sure win for the season.
