Wedding Colors I Love | Shades of Green + Ivory

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:04:00 +0000

Today's color inspiration is overflowing with gorgeous garden details! And for that reason alone, I'm in love! Looking for the perfect color palette for your upcoming Spring or Summer wedding? Well, have you considered the potential of a gorgeous green palette? For this wedding, I imagined a lovely outdoor ceremony beneath an old oak tree followed by a charming and quaint reception. It's a setting that is full of gorgeous details. The kind of setting that dreams are made of, really.

{centerpiece | floral design by blossom events, styling by calder clark design, photography by a bryan photo via southern weddings, heart wreath | photo by jen huang photography via elizabeth anne designs, picnic table | photo by steve steinhardt via style me pretty, striped skirts | skirts by anne cramer, styling by calder clark design, photography by a bryan photo via southern weddings, honey rum fizz cocktails | design sponge, flowing gown | photo by jose villa via once wed}

I seriously wish I could just hop into this scene and stay a while! That picnic table looks so beautiful in that setting of lush greenery. And I can't go without mentioning the lovely lanterns that are dangling from those branches! So absolutely charming. I can only imagine what they would look like lit up at night! Mix in some beautiful blooms like these and some fun striped bridesmaid skirts, and you'll be all set to say ''I do'' in style! So what do you think? What other details might you add to this look to make it yours?

Party Palette | Black + Gold

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:08:00 +0000

So today's color palette is one that I consider an oldie, but a goodie. It's one of my all time favorites! I even like it so much that I've even created an entire wedding board on Pinterest featuring this dazzling duo. Go ahead and check it out here if you haven't yet! Don't worry I'll be here when you get back! As you will see, there really are so many lovely ideas that incorporate this classic palette.

{chinese lanterns | photo by phindy studios, hotel sign | wit + delight, champagne glasses | ann street studio, antique frames | mialinnman}

I personally love it because you can easily incorporate vintage inspired details. But at the same time you can easily incorporate modern details that capture all the glitz and glam of city life! Some of the pins on the board I mentioned above even take on a very art deco vibe. Which of course I'm totally digging. So as you can see, it's a super versatile color palette! And one that is so simple to pull together! So what do you think? Are you seeing the party planning possibilities?

Color Story | Berry Kissed Color

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:25:00 +0000

If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you might remember me mentioning that I'm a red lipstick kinda girl. Not for special occasions. Nope! I'm talking about every day. I'm not sure what it is, but I've always just loved that berry kissed look. Sure, light pinks and nudes can be pretty. But there is something to be said about a pop of color that I'll always be drawn to.

{red lipstick | revlon, american vogue 1984, drink flags | hello lucky, cups | helen rosner, colorful installment | jean-marc palisse}

I don't know what it is, but hopefully I'm not alone? There's just something so alluring to me about bright, bold color. And so that's why I am totally smitten with this berry kissed look! It's vibrant, it's loud and they're just the sort of colors I'd use to create something beautiful. So tell me, what do you think about these berry kissed hues?

{Sponsored Post}: Markel Wedding Insurance

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:26:00 +0000

Love is a beautiful and powerful thing. But unfortunately, even your love cannot prevent unforeseen events from happening before and during your wedding day. It's not fun to think about, but the fact is that no matter how organized you are during the months leading up to your special day, disaster can still arise. Illness, unexpected cancellations, or extreme weather can put more than a damper on your special day. But not to worry, my friends! Because the folks over at Markel Wedding Insurance can help protect you, financially, against the unforeseen.

Because when uncontrollable situations happen, having to deal with the disappointment is enough – you shouldn’t have to worry about losing money on top of that. That is where Markel Wedding Insurance steps in! Not only can they reimburse you for any non-refundable deposits you may have if you have to cancel or postpone your wedding due to unforeseen circumstances, but they can also give you peace of mind so you don’t need to worry about the “what-ifs.''

Markel is one of the leading wedding insurance companies in the country, and offers two types of coverage: Wedding Cancellation Insurance and Wedding Liability Insurance. With cancellation coverage, you are reimbursed for lost deposits if you must cancel or postpone your wedding due to uncontrollable circumstances (think hurricanes, vendor bankruptcy or military deployment.) It also provides coverage for lost or stolen jewelry and gifts, event photography that isn’t delivered, damage to your wedding attire, and additional expenses you may incur to avoid cancellation. The liability coverage protects you if your venue sustains property damage or if someone is injured at your wedding (check with your venue because many venues now require couples to get this type of coverage). Better to be safe than sorry, right? I couldn't agree more!

Not convinced yet? Visit Markel Wedding Insurance to learn why you should protect your special day. With policies starting at $75 (the actual price of your specific policy is based on location, the coverages you choose, and your total wedding budget), I can't recommend this enough!

Wedding Colors I Love | Shades of Blue + Beige

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:53:00 +0000

So it's been brought to my attention that I don't share enough blue color palettes! So today I thought it would be fun to put together some pretty blue inspiration perfect for your upcoming Fall or Winter wedding. To me, this palette communicates elegance and sophistication! I personally cannot get enough of those sparkly heels! And what's not to love about these pretty bow details, like this bridesmaid dress and hairstyle?

Want to add a little charm to your sophisticated soiree? Why not incorporate some homemade details using kraft paper? I really am loving this sweet menu. And isn't this just one of the prettiest packages you've ever seen? I for one have always been drawn to the look of blue and white china and so I'm totally in love with these cookies! Looking to add a little sparkle to your day? Sparkly accessories like these bow heels and bridesmaid clutches sure are pretty! So what do you think? Are you liking the way that blue loves beige?

Color Story | Bright + Beautiful Color!

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 16:27:00 +0000

Hi friends! And happy Friday. I decided to kick the weekend off right with a healthy dose of bright + beautiful color! Because nothing says happy like vibrant color. Am I right? And this beautiful palette is just bursting with it. So let's get down to the details! There's no mistaking this palette is all about big, beautiful blooms. The kind of blooms that just jump off the page and make you say ''wow.''

{floral crown | florals by amy osaba events, photo by ali harper, gorgeous wedding bouquet | floral design by primary petals, photo via jose villa, centerpiece | florals by jldesigns, event design by jessie haak designs, gabriel ryan photographers via the knot, centerpiece on table | floral by muster rose floral & styling, styling by jesi hoolihan of the snow white effect, photo by laura ivanova photography via elizabeth anne designs,

I think the great thing about using big, bold color is that you can afford to go subdued with other details. I love this little centerpiece with the trio of oranges and that sweet little table number. Also I like how the all white vessels create a very clean background. Makes the color just pop! Oh, and I can't go without mentioning this gorgeous floral crown. It's equal parts beauty and whimsy. Just the way I like my weddings! So what do you think? Have I recruited you to ''team orange?''

Color Story | Pink Loves Teal

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:00:00 +0000

When it comes to making decisions around color, do you often find yourself making conservative choices? Or maybe you're just the opposite? And you find yourself selecting color palettes that are a bit more of modern and unexpected? Whatever types of colors you lean toward, one thing is for sure... there really isn't a shortage of gorgeous color palettes to choose from! Am I right? Speaking of gorgeous color palettes, that brings me to today's post. Ever consider pairing pink with teal tones?

{gorgeous gown | caroll hannah's 2013 collection, aqua shutters, sweet centerpiece | photography by marianne taylor, florals by fairynuff flowers via love my dress, pink luggage | brides}

I really am loving the contrast here and I'm hoping you are too! It's colors like these that I see perfect for Spring and Summer. And more specifically, I really think these colors would look amazing for a destination wedding. Maybe even a beachy setting? So what do you think? Might you use this palette for your upcoming wedding, party or project? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Looking to put a pep in your step? Wear something yellow, I say! Looking for a wedding color palette that is just bursting at the seams with what I call the 'fun factor?' Well, look no further, my friends! Because yellow it the way to go! Today's palette is not only sporting a sunny outlook.

Pretty pops of yellow effortlessly bring these honeybee inspired ideas to life. I'm loving those little honey stirrers! Such a cute idea and with so many uses too. Looking to add a pop of color to your venue? Why not consider hanging tissue poms from the ceiling? Such an easy (and inexpensive) way to add a little festive flair. Oh, and I can't go without mentioning those sweet beeswax candles! What a perfect wedding favor! So what do you think? Might this palette 'bee' the one?

J.Crew Bridesmaid Dresses!

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 18:31:00 +0000

Hi friends! Hope you guys are having a great week. One thing you may or may not know about me is the fact that I'm sort of obsessed with all things J.Crew! That's why when I discovered that they actually had a wedding boutique, I just knew I had to tell you all about it.

With a beautiful collection of bridesmaid dresses, wedding gowns and even jewelry and accessories, J.Crew Wedding has a collection that is sure to make you swoon!

images via j.crew wedding.

I personally love the idea of selecting a color and then having your bridesmaids wear a style within that same color family. For example, take a look at the pink bridesmaid dresses! Notice how the shade of pink is different and so is the style? And yet they still look great together? So lovely! Am I right?

I also love the idea of bridesmaids wearing the same color, but different styles. Which is also a great look - and such a great way to add a little uniqueness to each each friend's attire! And what's best is that J.Crew Wedding makes it soo easy! Want to know what's best? That would surely be the fact that these dresses are actually styles and colors your bridesmaids will probably actually want to wear again! I know I sure would!

I can totally see myself wearing one of these dresses to a wedding as a guest even! Or perhaps out to dinner one night with my sweetie! So it's a total win-win! So what are you waiting for? Hustle on over to J.Crew Wedding and start selecting the perfect attire for your entire bridal party. Yep, it isn't just for the gals, J. Crew also offers a collection just for the guys! Oh, and go fast because J. Crew is offering 25% off your purchase when you use the code: SUMMER! Click here for details.

Color Story | Peach Loves Gold!

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:47:00 +0000

Happy Monday! Today I'm excited to bring you this sophisticated (yet playful) approach to peach. I've always been a huge fan of peach alone, but I find that when paired with the awesomeness of glittery gold - all of the sudden peach becomes one of my favorite colors. This color palette celebrates the subdued with subtle pops of bright peach thrown in. And I think that's what is drawing me to these colors. It's the variation between the light and airy and the little pops of color.

A gorgeous cake with beautiful blooms underneath a cake plate? So simple and yet so dreamy! A gorgeous display of pink champagne complete with gold glitter? So beautiful and and yet so full of whimsy! Speaking of whimsy. Anyone else eye this gorgeous gold gumball machine? Total proof that a little gold spray paint can (and does) transform anything. It's creative and unique touches like these that make a wedding (or party) stand out. So what do you think? Are you liking these pretty peach and gold ideas?

Party Palette | Teal Tones

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Fri, 31 May 2013 17:18:00 +0000

Hi friends and happy Friday! Today I'm excited to share with you this Paris inspired palette. I for one have always been fascinated with all things Paris, and so when I saw these images I just knew I had to put together this color palette. This palette ranges from deep teal to almost an electric blue. And of course there are some pretty neutrals like gray and antique gold and even a touch of bronze, but for palette purposes I thought it would be most fun to highlight this range of amazing teal tones.

{frilly gown | marchesa, sweet balcony | paris hotel boutique, emerald earrings | snowstars, eiffel tower | fine art america}

I really love this palette and I hope you can see why! In terms of season, I think it could work for any season really. But if I had to choose, I think it would work best for the Fall or Winter seasons. I suppose I like to see deep, moody hues being used during the cooler months. So what do you think? Are you liking these teal tones? And if so... where might you use these colors? Your wedding? An upcoming party? Or maybe as inspiration for a bedroom?

Wedding Colors I Love | Pinks + Purples!

Today's color palette is all about mixing styles. We have vintage inspired details (check out that brides hair!) a little bit of whimsy (see the little butterflies on top of those ombre mini cakes?) and whole lot of fun!

Color Story | Berry Loves Burlap

noreply@blogger.com ({The Perfect Palette}) — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:13:00 +0000

Hi friends! So today my color obsession continues with this pretty little palette. I don't know about you, but for my entire life I've been drawn to berry infused hues like fuchsia and fig. They're warm, they're beautiful and they're the kind of colors that add romance to any look. Want to know which colors they look best with? Warm neutrals are the way to go! And because I'm a huge fan of handmade, why not throw a little burlap into the mix?

Burlap and twine really do have a way of adding such a charming feel. Wouldn't you agree? Also I just love how this is taking on a very elegant feel as well.

Hello, loves! And happy mid-week to you! I'm not sure what it is, but here lately I've found myself completely in love with shades of blue and green. Maybe it's the fact that I've just returned from a week away at the beach? Or maybe it's simply the calming nature that I'm drawn to? Whatever the case may be, one thing is for sure... I definitely can't get enough of these calming hues.

{floral clip | serenitycrystal, colored pencils | the colorful living project, vintage inspired statement bracelet | jewelsalem, teacups | sweetberryme}

Because what's not to love? Also I really like how this palette easily incorporates the softness of sea foam and mint and yet, still makes room for a good dose of punchy color. Like that vibrant aqua! It's this balance between softness and brightness that really captures my attention. So what do you think? Might you consider this palette for your upcoming wedding, party or project? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

When it comes to styling your wedding, have you ever felt overwhelmed at the thought of taking your wedding ideas and turning them into a reality? It's okay, you're not alone! I honestly can't tell you how many brides have contacted me over the years with those same fears! But not to fret! Because my friends over at Weddingstar are here to help! With over 3000 designer wedding accessories, Weddingstar boasts a gorgeous collection that makes it super easy to bring those wedding dreams of yours to life!

Recently having introduced two new bride friendly ways to shop, Weddingstar is excited to bring you 'Style Lookbooks' and their new 'Shop By Color' feature. What's a Lookbook you ask? Imagine a creative and inspirational online magazine that allows you to explore and shop complete wedding looks! Sounds pretty amazing, right? And now that you can shop by color, finding the perfect accessories for your wedding just became that much easier!

The latest edition to the lookbook series is the fifth addition, entitled 'Parisian Love Letter'. The 'Parisian Love Letter' collection takes readers on a mini vacation through the opulence of the streets of Paris. Centering around the beauty of the “Parisian Love Letter Stationery Collection,'' just one look and you'll see that it's all about romance!

Classy tones of black and white dominate throughout as an air of elegant sophistication infuses with utter romance. What really stands out to me is the attention to detail. Plus it just goes to show how the smallest touches can come together to create the perfect wedding design.

Looking for a way to add a special touch? Why not consider incorporating gems and jewels throughout your wedding day to add a little sparkle and shine? From the ceremony to the reception, opulence abounds from every shimmer. Also creating the majestic feeling of Paris are the many candle lit scenes. With the “Parisian Love Letter Unity Candle,” tea lights and tapers aglow, the soft lighting evokes the romanticism of Paris in every shot.

This lookbook also features many vintage-inspired details. The old world love letter felt throughout and there are even subtle nods to days gone by. But I'm also seeing some modern touches too! Personally, I'm loving those little acrylic phantom chairs and those creative floral accents! Love what you're seeing? Well, what are you waiting for? Hustle on over to Weddingstar and start exploring and shopping their beautiful Lookbooks! And go fast because they're offering a 15% discount when you use the code: MAYBRIDE15 at checkout!

Hi everyone! And happy Monday! Guess what guys? I'm back from the beach. And although I really, really hated to leave, I have to say that I'm definitely happy to be back. I missed you guys! But I hope you stopped in while I was gone! A big thanks goes out to all my sweet blogger friends who were lovely enough to share some of their color palette favorites while I was away. Chandra, Kate, Emma, Sara and Chris, you girls are the best! I really love the color palettes you all came up with and I'm definitely feeling inspired!

That's the thing about taking vacations. I don't know about you, but I always come back feeling newly inspired, and re-energized. Speaking of inspiration, today's color palette is all about capturing a light and airy feel with subtle pops of punchy color. I find peach and green to be romantic and fresh and just bursting with feel good vibes. What do you think? Are you liking the way these colors work together?
