Wedding Guide for the Style Savvy and Practical Bride
No color could be more serene and more apt for summer than the color green. It’s refreshing and it’s soothing. And when you choose to hold a wedding in summer, you need all the little ways to make it as fresh for you and your guests. One obvious tip to beat the summer heat would be to choose a color palette that would make your wedding have that cool, calm […]
If you ask me, I think blue on the lighter side of the spectrum always deserves a front row seat spot when you talk about “summer colors”. Why not? Blue exudes a cool, calm, soothing vibe. Think of how you feel when you laze on a hot summer day and you look up at the clear blue sky. You felt relaxed, right? Or remember how pacified you felt when you […]
Inventive and imaginative; complex and contemplative. This is how Pantone describes their chosen color of 2018, the Ultra violet. It symbolizes non-conformity and experimentation, a perfect color for individuals who like to push boundaries, the right hue for those who love to explore novelties. Mix this mystical color with romantic rose quartz and metallic gold, and you have a color palette that has boldness and warmth. This is perfect for […]
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 […]
