Ornate and elegant, this wedding calls for a ballroom setting with chandeliers and vintage details.

A few weeks ago I received my new issue of Pointe Magazine and fell in love with the color on the cover. Maria Riccetto’s dress, along with the background color is just about as fun and spring-y as you can get. This color palette was inspired by the cover of Pointe, located in the top center of the color palette. As I was making this palette, I decided to throw little hints of gray into the mix just to see how I liked it, and I think that would be a definite option for an added color to this palette. What do you think?

Simple, chic and perfectly suited for almost any time of year. Hints of gold dress up an otherwise casual color palette.

A while back 100 Layer Cake featured this wedding, photographed by Michele M. Waite, and I have to say it’s one of my favorite weddings to date simply because of the way the color scheme was done. The bride, Melanie, wanted a wedding that was bright and vibrant, but also soft and timeless. I love how she put the wedding party in fun and vibrant colors…
…and used soft muted tones for the reception…
You would think that these colors might clash, but on the contrary, it’s quite stunning! This just goes to show that you don’t have to have one set color scheme for both your ceremony and reception. I hope we see a growing trend of multiple color schemes for weddings. It’s such fun and definitely keeps things fun for the guests.
Melanie also had her bridesmaids carry balloons down the aisle which I thought was a fun idea! For more of this wonderful wedding visit Michele’s blog and 100 Layer Cake.

Inspired by the image in the top right corner, I envision an event full of fun and color; muted color that is. A while back we did our color predictions for the year, and Muted Brights was one of our predictions. I still love the pairing of toned down bright colors, and think they are perfect for an event any time of the year.

Inspired by the image in the top left corner, this board is all about a formal black tie affair. I envision a violinest playing during the ceremony and sit down dinner, men in tuxedos and the women in long formal dresses, the bride in a full lavish gown with ruffles down the back.

For this color palette I was completely inspired by vintage pearls. I combined the creamy color of pearls with soft pink and elegant gold for a timeless and classic look.

Springtime on the Central Coast of California brings many beautiful flowers into bloom. One in particular covers entire hillsides and is incredibly beautiful. It’s call mustard, and it’s actually a weed but when it grows together in mass amounts it makes for some beautiful landscapes. This palette was inspired by the color of the yellow hillsides against the beautiful blue sky.

Inspired by the middle picture, I added gold to make the palette not so feminie with just peaches, pinks and whites.

Grey can sometimes be thought of as a modern color, but here it’s very feminine when paired with a mint green, light pink and black. The black adds a bit of classic style to an otherwise whimsical palette.
