Week of Color :: Khaki + Navy

bubblybride — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:55:00 +0000

Khaki: the new summer black. It will come across clean, refined and possibly preppy – but I will always love navy and khaki for a new way to host a formal but not stuffy wedding. Almost any color can be added to complement these two colors. Add pink, light or bold, orange, yellow or green to khaki and navy and you will have yourself a well put together array of color.

I think navy is often overlooked, but I anticipate more summer weddings using this as a backdrop to their affair, keeping it formal, but still light and fun.

Week of Color :: Raspberry + Chocolate

Add some scrumptious raspberries, decked out in delicious dark chocolate to your wedding day.

The deep, smooth brown color along with the pop of bright red raspberry will create a delectable decor!!

Fall is quickly approaching and my excitement heightens at the striking shades of orange that will start appearing in the weddings. Orange combined with bright greens, reds, and browns makes for a lovely fall wedding! Check out these uniquely orange bouquets for inspiration.

Week of Color :: Sapphire

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.

On their own, each one of these colors is full of happiness and vibrancy, together they create a wedding that will have every guest walking out with fabulous memories of the evening. The bright colors will keep everyone’s spirits high from the first time they receive their invitation until they are dancing around at the reception.

Week of Color: White + Ivory

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!

Is this color scheme to plain for you?

Week of Color :: Navy + Orange

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.

If orange doesn’t catch your eye…fushia pink is another color that looks great with Navy, as well as bright green!

Week of Color :: Passion Purple

bubblybride — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:57:18 +0000

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.

Give your gals a cute clutch to bring with them on the day of the wedding, I love the pattern on the one shown below tied up with a darling bow!

What color would you match with this royal color to create a dramatic effect at your wedding?

Week of Color :: Aqua + Red

bubblybride — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:13:56 +0000

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.

Love it…Hate it? Let me know!
