Classic black and green. I’ve always thought these colors would look beautiful with gold jewelry. Especially for a chic city wedding.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I thought we would start back with a color palette.
Inspired by the photo of Jessica Stam on the bottom row middle, this color palette is all about simple glamour. These colors would be beautiful for an elegant winter wedding. You could also throw just about any color in with these two colors and get a beautiful combination!

This color palette was inspired by the picture in the top left corner, as seen on The Bride’s Cafe. When I saw it, I immediately wanted to design a color palette around it. As I was deciding on colors and a look for the overall board, I was immediately drawn to Moulin Rouge. Hence the name of this color palette. I love the end result of the board and would totally use this theme if not for a wedding, definitely a bridal shower!

For some reason, whenever I design a color palette with bright pink I’m not happy with the results. Its not that I don’t like the color, its more that I am extremely picky about what I put on my blog. =) When I designed this color palette, I decided it was blog worthy so here it is!
I like how the black acts as a base color, with the yellow and pink as sunny bright accent colors that really pop off the black. This would be great for a wedding in the summer, spring or fall. I love that you can really dress these colors up or down, depending on the mood you wish to have at your event.

When putting together this board, I couldn’t quite capture the feeling I wanted to evoke so I’ll put it in words.
For this event, I pictured something formal, complete with black and white damask and crystals (as seen in the middle picture). I pictured the event taking place at a posh downtown club or restaurant, or a swanky hotel. These colors could be less formal also, depending upon how everyone dressed, the floral arrangements, etc.
Next week we will be taking some of the same colors from this color palette and making them into a whole different look. Stay tuned.

When I see purple (depending on its shade) it usually reminds me of something regal, and that’s exactly what I think of when I see this palette. I can envision a wedding with these colors taking place somewhere like the top left picture. I love the classic look these colors give, perfect for a fall or winter wedding.

Romantic and glamorous are words that come to mind for today’s color palette. Pink, black and silver can help create a beautiful, romantic event, perfect for a vintage hotel or a beautiful English garden. For this color palette I can envision centerpieces of flowers and feathers and beautiful candlelight, classical music played by a string quartet playing in the background and delightful delicate food to munch on.

A little while back I posted on the black wedding dress, originally seen on Parisian Party. I wanted to do a color palette around the black dress so I created a black and white palette. I didn’t want a mish mash of color to detract from the originality of the dress so I kept color simple. I also didn’t want the black and white to be boring so I decided to go with a glamourous look, while still maintaining the classic look the colors offer. I can see this wedding for a beautiful winter affair, perfect for December or Janurary.

I absolutely LOVE old Hollywood. Give me an old movie with a warm blanket and I’m in heaven. I have to say I actually prefer old movies over the new ones. There is just something classic and timeless about Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant (or any old movie star for that matter!). When I decided to put a Hollywood Glamour board together, you can imagine how excited I was. What added to my excitement, was that I was able to include one of my friends in the board! My good friend Angela is on the bottom row, second from the left. The picture is of her as a bridesmaid at her brother’s wedding. Doesn’t she look just like an old Hollywood star getting ready to go out to a big event? I love it.
To make things even more exciting, the Los Angeles theatre that’s pictured in the board is actually available to rent for events! What a perfect place for a reception with an old Hollywood theme. The inside of the theatre is completely restored and is gorgeous. Take a look at their website for more pictures of this wonderful theatre.
