The holidays are almost here and I thought it’s time to create a color palette to celebrate it. Think of berry red, crimson, burgundy and cranberry. This side of the spectrum — the deep reds — reminds us of a strong energy, of passion, of love, and of strength.

Perfect for a formal wedding, today’s palette is a lovely mix of cranberry and peach. Cranberry could be a tad too plain if used alone so I thought it would be better to tame this bold color with a warm hue, something that you would use in spring and summer: peach. It creates a nice, hearty balance to the stark, cold color of cranberry and romanticizes the whole feel. Definitely suave, sleek and sexy.

You can use this palette for fall/ winter weddings or for your upcoming holiday celebrations or even use this as inspiration for a quiet Valentine’s dinner for two, or for any romantic date anytime of the year for that matter!
