{color theory} Prussian Blue, Apricot & Aqua

My initial thought when I came across this image was, “What an unusual palette this would make for stylish wedding". The various shades of blue from aqua to Prussian , with amber, and slate gray creates a beautiful palette, reminiscent of the colors commonly used in the 50’s and 60’s. Yet, for today’s couple, these colors appear modern and unexpectedly glamorous.

Prussian blue serves as the main color. Think of bridesmaid’s dresses in a deep dark blue. On the reception tables, platinum décor accents create an amazing contrast against the Prussian blue table linen. Silk ribbons, in aqua, are tied around favor boxes that are placed on each guests’ dinner plate.

For the groom, a tan glen check worsted suit worn with a cream shirt, and a blue and amber paisley tie perfectly complements the warm tones of the bride’s bouquet. A silk navy blue pocket square completes the look.

Dahlias, mums, orchids, calla lilies in warm hues of tangelo, cognac, and amber are used to create the table centerpieces and other floral elements to complete the look of this chic and semi floral wedding.
