Wedding Guide for the Style Savvy and Practical Bride
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 […]
Pantone, the global authority on color, has just recently released their color trend report for Spring 2018 and everything looked so promising! Pantone has curated an interesting mix of rich, vivid, and subdued hues, and for the first time, even added 4 classic colors in the batch. I say, what a lovely pool of colors to choose from! This diverse and multi-faceted mix of colors will give you the freedom […]
Truth be told, I was beyond happy when Pantone announced that they’re having Greenery as 2017’s color of the year. Described as a “fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring,” we can expect that Greenery will bring that much needed zen + feeling of oneness with nature that we all seek. And because it is nature’s neutral, I thought it’s best to combine this calm […]
Color Series is so back! My last color palette which included Marsala was such a hit at Pinterest and got 9,000++ re-pins. Since that was a year ago, I thought, it’s time to make a new one! I know I should have made one for this year’s colors of the year — Serenity and Rose Quartz — but decided it’s a tad too late already. Instead, I made a palette which I […]
Happy New Year, cherries! It’s been quite a long time since I posted a color palette so I’ve decided to make one and have it as my first post for the year. And to make it extra special, I’m using Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year — Marsala — as the main color in this luxurious palette. Described by Pantone to emanate sophistication and natural earthiness, Marsala’s earthy tone will surely bring […]
I have to tell you something, cherries. In these recent months, I have been oh-so-slightly addicted to the color Navy — which — actually involved some “purchases” that had this color. Tee-hee! So I think, it is but fitting that I make a wedding color-spiration about it. Navy plus Fuchsia instantly reminds me of all things nautical and of course, the beach. This color combination is a more vibrant version of […]
I’ve always wanted to do a citrus inspired palette. Well, I was mostly torn in choosing what citrus colors I will include. Will it be Pink and Orange? Yellow and Lime? Orange and Lemon? I have made up my mind today and here’s what I’ve come up — a yummy concoction of Pink + Orange + Yellow. These colors actually remind me of lemonades. Yes, lemonades. Oh geez, I think […]
How fast time flies! It’s June 1 already (goodbye merry May!) and Summer is nearing its end. But before I let go of all things sunny-Summer, let me give you a color palette that is an absolute favorite of Summer brides — the calming, warm hue of Coral combined with the cool, refreshing shade of Turquoise. This lovely combination of warmth and cool is the perfect palette to describe what Summer really […]
I have stumbled upon this gorgeous photo of honey lavender macarons in Pinterest and was instantly inspired by its color palette – a lovely, sumptuous combination of sweet lavender and cream. So if you, like me, prefer all things dreamy, soft and light, make sure to steal this palette and use it in your wedding to instantly transform it into a bright, breezy, fresh and delicate wedding celebration that is full of ethereal beauty. […]
I’m pretty much caught up with all things light and pretty as soon as the summer season said, “Hello!”. I’m sure my most recent real weddings and e-sesh features would show you how into Summer I am recently, and to continue my Spring/ Summer fever, today’s color palette is inspired by this season of blooms. Think of sweet smelling roses infused with refreshing sage green. And oh, sprinkle them both […]
