Color Palette: Navy, White and Gold

I'm loving the utter sophistication and elegance of this color palette. I think the navy in place of black is a lovely alternative.

Color Palette: Navy and Green

Black and green have been a popular color palette for some time, but why not mix it up a bit, and replace black with navy blue? I love this combination and think it would be perfect for a wedding any time of the year. Black is a fairly limiting color, as far as spring and summer weddings go, but navy blue looks beautiful any time of the year. For the green, I love the idea of incorporating fruit to showcase the color, as seen on the board in the tomatoes, the pears on the cake, and the pears, apples and grapes in the centerpiece.

Her venue is full of beautiful colors, so in order to not overwhelm the event, she has chosen to use pink and orange flowers as the accent colors. The blue is incorporated from the venue walls and floor. Below is the inspiration board I created for her.

Color Palette: Lilac, Light Pink and Silver

This color palette is for one of our readers. She is planning a Christmas time wedding and wanted to use lilac, light pink and silver as her colors. Below is the board I created for her with a few reception decor ideas for her celebration.



A few reception ideas
- A fun way to incorporate the silver into your reception decor would be to use vintage silver pitchers or other silver wares. You could put flowers in them, or just group them together.


- I've always loved elegant candelabras. These could go on dinner tables, or around the room for a romantic candle light effect.


- Placing a flower, or small arrangement at each place setting helps to decorate the table and make each setting a little special.

Color Palette: Pink, Brown and Green

This color palette is for one of our readers, Maria. She writes:
I was wondering if you could help me with a color palette for my daytime October 25th wedding in Charleston, South Carolina. My problem seems to be that I like too many color schemes and can't decide on one particular one! We're going to be serving paella as the main course meal. I really don't know how to tie all these things together in a color scheme! Would be so grateful for your help.
Maria decided she liked a brown and green color scheme, with the pops of pink from the bridesmaid dresses her maids will be wearing. Below is the board we put together for her.
