Combining two of my favorite loves, Paris and red, this color palette is all about vintage Parisian charm.

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

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.

Color palette: Pink, Cream and Gold

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.

Color Palette: Soft Grey, Black and Mint

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.

Color Palette: Gray and Apple Green

zenadiadesign — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:00:24 +0000

When paired together, green and gray can make an elegant combination with a hint of modern. Green apples are a nice, budget friendly way to add color to your decor and clippings of bright green foliage work well in bud vases. I love the idea of using silver candelabras to fancy the decor up a bit, however this color scheme can also be played down to a more casual affair as well.

Color Palette: Venetian Glamour

zenadiadesign — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:00:50 +0000

I have a complete fascination with Venice and Italy in general, so I was very excited to create this inspiration board/color palette. I think a combination of grayish white, red, gold and black would be wonderful here, and not compete with the surrounding of extraordinary colors.

Color Palette: Fuchsia and Gold with Black & White Stripes

zenadiadesign — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:00:48 +0000

This has to be one of my favorite color palettes of all time. That’s a pretty strong statement I know, but I am so completely smitten with the black and white stripes, the shimmery gold and the dark sultry fuchsia to top it off. It’s classic, elegant, glamorous, chic, fun and perfect for any time of the year.

Color Palette: Peachy-pink, Warm White and Silver

Peach is such a versatile color when it comes to weddings. It can be used as more of an apricot color, or toned down to a peachy-pink, as is used here. I’ve added a warm creamy white and silver to compliment this color, perfect for a spring or winter wedding.

Color Predictions for 2010, part V {The Favorite}

zenadiadesign — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 15:00:33 +0000

As most of you know, I absolutely love color, so doing these color predictions was really fun for me. The hard part, though, is picking a favorite. Since I am drawn to all different types of color for different reasons, it’s been hard for me to narrow it down, but I think I narrowed it down enough to a few colors. =) Below is a color palette for my favorite combination of colors from our color predictions for 2010. I’ve added in a dark gold to this palette. I love the dark gold alternative to the bright metallic golds we have been seeing lately.

What is your favorite?
