My good friend from graduate school is getting married one week before us at a vineyard on Long Island. Luckily, we opted to spare each other the agony of being in each other’s weddings, but we do have a lot of time for sharing ideas and meeting up for wedding related shopping adventures. She has been debating her color palette for a while now (don’t we all?) so I took [a lot of] time this morning and surprised her with two inspiration boards to help her out. I have a decided favorite and have fingers crossed in hopes she’ll pick that one, but in the meantime I thought I would share them with you. Which do you prefer for a Long Island vineyard wedding in July?

rick, I never thought of using the wines to dictate the colors like that, but it makes so much sense. I'm a huge Wedding Paper Divas fan (I think I've said this before? haha) and definitely push my friends to head that direction all of the time.
krista, I am with you! I love the blue and purple, but somehow the pink and orange just have a glorious brightness to them for summer.
redframe, I love it! "...personal preference trumps attempted seduction..." Perfectly worded!

Oh you make it so hard! I was so sure it was going to be the first and then I saw the second... I'm not even a blue fan but you make it look so good!Still, personal preference trumps attempted seduction... I go with the first one!

I like both ... but for July, I'd pick the brighter pallets of the first board.

Being that one of the colors of my alma mater is blue I'm very partial in that regard.
That said, I like them both but would defer to the style of wine the winery specializes in. If red, go with the cooler blues/purples. If whites, go with the warmer yellows and oranges.
Thanks for using our invitation in your inspiration board!
