Week of Color :: Sapphire

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

This summer, be bold with a bright shade of sapphire throughout your wedding.  This beautiful color looks great against most any color schemes and will make your bridesmaids stand out with all skin tones and hair colors! While the deep blue hue says pure sophistication, it also screams bold and fun.

For a more formal event consider keeping the color scheme clean with ivories, whites and pastels.  If you are hosting a more casual affair and love adding color to your day, consider a hot pink, lime green or orange accent color to spice up the shade.

Week of Color: White + Ivory

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

You may think that a white and ivory wedding is a contradiction to my Week of Color.  I think walking into a purely white room can only enhance all of the color around you.  It will give a soft and romantic feel while highlighting every bit of color that your friends and family bring into the room.

If you need to tie in some color, add a fun design like the dress shown below from white house black market.

White + Ivory will always keep a clean sophisticated look that you can’t go wrong with!

Week of Color :: Navy + Orange

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I can not get enough of this color combination! The navy keeps the atmosphere chic and classy, while the pop of bright orange screams fun and carefree!  Whether you choose orange roses, calla lillies or gerbera daisies, these flowers will stand out in a bold way at your wedding.

Week of Color :: Passion Purple

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Vendors are receiving more orders for passion purple than ever before!  This rich, deep color at your wedding will create a luxurious atmosphere  for your guests.  Colors such as silver, ivory and deep reds complement this purple shade well.

Strut your way down the aisle in these ‘to die for’ Oscar de la Renta shoes.  The jewel on the ankle strap gives them a vintage chic feel!

I love the use of lighting to make the entire room glow royally!  Have a spot light to light up the dance floor, with up-lighting around the room.

Week of Color :: Aqua + Red

Monday, April 27th, 2009

One of the hottest color combinations we are seeing this year in weddings is aqua and red.  This will always be one of my favorite duos, the bold colors complementing each other makes for gorgeous wedding decor! Use the aqua as the main backdrop and red as a pop of color in most of the details of the day.
