Design Board | Sophisticated Bright Colors

I, by nature, am attracted to neutral, soft, classic colors - my favorites being creams, greys, blues, etc. So, I've stepped out of my color comfort zone to create this bright yet sophisticated color palette featuring aquas, peony pink, poppy red and pale seafoams. As I've said before, I love color palettes that have many, many colors that coordinate and compliment each other. While monogamy is good in marriage, try to stay away from just one color for your wedding - it might end up too monotonous!

Design Board | Country Chic

Remember this "Country Chic" design board? Well, the wedding was last weekend (hence my blogging absence - sorry!). It was so beautiful - the weather cooperated perfectly. I only have this one shot so far (that I took), but I will be getting more images from Epaga Foto soon!

The tables were set on the lawn and dressed in a pale yellow and cream burlap.

I made the bridal bouqet - white hydrangeas, yellow freesia, and pale yellow garden roses. Stay tuned for the step-by-step DIY.

Design Board | Blues, Purples & Pinks

This is a new design board I'm working on for a Client's May 2010 wedding. We are planning to use all seasonal flowers - masses of blue hydrangeas, pink and purple peonies. Her bridesmaids dresses are a light pewter taffeta from J.Crew - a great neutral base to accent with our bright spring colors.

I'm meeting with her tomorrow to see if she likes what I've put together - I'll share our revisions!

Design Board | Powder Blue, Light Pewter, White & Ivory

Like most newly engaged brides, my head is filled with color palettes, flowers, dresses, stationery and cakes... to get all of this under control, I'm going to create several design boards and share them with Mike (and the blog)... it will be a surprise as to which one I choose!

I LOVE this color palette - to me it screams (or maybe it sighs softly...) sweetness. Soft blues and greys, beautiful white flowers (peonies, garden roses) and rich satin.
