Something with a touch of woodsy elegance, pairing rustic woods with the beauty of classic white roses and big puffs of baby’s breath. I love loads of white and ivory with shades of pink and green for a color palette that’s quietly elegant. …

It’s amazing to me how quickly the seasons change here in upstate New York. While we still have several blissful weeks of summer left, the shift in the air from July to August is almost always palpable.

This party palette is all about the fabulous vintage bicycle for me. I so wish we lived in an area that made cruising around on a cute bike possible.

I always love sitting down to drum up inspiration for the weekly color palette. This week I was inspired by the prettiest shades of honeydew and watery blues. I’m a self-professed cool color girl. Hues that remind me of the lake and ocean always feel the most at home with me so I just love …

This week’s color palette was inspired by a Facebook fan who chimed in on my call for color palette ideas with a request for coral and gray. It seemed like the perfect color palette for the first week of summer so away I went! This really is the perfect combination of colors for summer weddings. …
This week’s color palette was a little tricky for me. I wanted to do something featuring beautiful and simple neutrals and it took a little bit to get it just right, although I do think I love how it came together. I love an achromatic color scheme with lots of white and black with varying …
Can you believe it’s Cinco de Mayo already today? I am so ready for summer! We’ve had nineteen consecutive days of rain here so I’m dreaming of long, hot sunny days, fruity drinks and a little fiesta flavor. Especially after a few beautiful days on St. Pete Beach last week, I can’t keep summer off …
I’m still on a pink kick, it seems, and this pretty pink rainbow cake was the perfect inspiration for a sweets-inspired color palette.
