    One of the first things a bride thinks about after being engaged is her dress and of course, the colors! You may change her mind a few times a week even a day but the one thing to keep in mind is whatever color you choose, it is your choice! Never let anyone sway because they do not particularly like that color or do not think it looks good on them {bridesmaids are famous for this}. I do suggest you confer with your partner {not every man is going to want pink tablecloths} so that you both are on the same page.

    This leads me to a pretty color combination that is lady and gentleman friendly and happens to be one of my favorite palettes. The charcoal in this palette would be a great color for the groom and groomsmen suits. The creamy vanilla reminds me of a beautiful wedding gown with hints of a warmer white rather than a stark white. The light aqua and turquoise can be used as table linen {think a beachside wedding celebration}, or accents for the table décor. Flowers in these colors can also be added to your bouquet. Use sage for the bridesmaids dresses to compliment the charcoal suits of the groomsmen and groom.

    What are your favorite gentleman friendly palettes?

      I’m loving this color palette Naomi – I pretty much like anything paired with charcoal/grey {especially yellow}. It definitely helps make the palette guy friendly too.

      What a lovely palette! John and I are big fans of crimson and navy, so I imagine we’ll pair one bold shade with some lighter neutrals!
