Charcoal, Aqua, Sage and Vanilla – A Bride & Groom Friendly Palette

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?

Inspiration Board # 57 – River’s Bend

I am in constant awe of nature. The colors, the textures, the changing of Earth’s canvas with the start of every season. In nature, you can stand witness, right before your very eyes, to the perfect ever-changing canvas painted by an invisible hand.

Colors in nature never clash and unlike other elements in nature they do not fight to be seen or heard…they just are. Like a beautiful flower, or a tree sometimes as in nature, to be noticed all one must do is be still.

Inspiration Board # 54 – Coffee &Tea (Just You and Me)

It has been awhile since I have created an inspiration board. Sometimes life just gets in the way. Nevertheless, it is one of my favorite things to create!

I hope you enjoy my latest inspiration board. It is a neutral palette based on my love of intimate wedding settings, neutral colors, French macaroons, and cupcakes. Enjoy!
