When Pantone announced their selection for the top trending color palette for 2016- my first reaction was oh no, pink and blue!!
But on reflection I became inspired by the warm calming pink, Pantone is calling Rose Quartz and the relaxing, weightless periwinkle, Serenity Blue. This harmonious pairing embodies tranquility and inner peace.
I love colors that are evident in nature, in a cool, Catskill Mountain sunset or warm Outer Banks sunrise. It warms my soul and fills my heart with joy!
In this bouquet the beauty of Pink O’Hara garden roses is offset by the delicate blue tweedia. Tons of texture from astilbe, Queen Anne’s lace and silvery dusty miller. Beautifuly balanced with ivory and blush.
Intoxicating scents from gardenia, stock and of course the garden roses!
Stunning. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
It’s all in the details. And Christy, my bride, wanted to use her grandmother’s cameo in her bouquet. This vintage piece of jewelry has a sentimental meaning for her, so, I pinned it on a piece of antique rosey ribbon and finished the wrap with tiny pearl pins. Perfection.
You can have fun with your color palette without over doing it. What could be better than a retro candy bar or a tray of cool signature cocktails?
… Wedding wishes tied to a cherry blossom tree!
Remember, when selecting a color palette for your wedding, make sure that it reflects who you are and what you love and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Even pink and blue can be be translated into something spectacular!!
Namaste,
Lydia
