Rainbow inspired color palettes are very de rigueur of late and I have to admit to being a total rainbow junkie. There is just something so fun and nostalgic about bright rainbow colors and who doesn’t love the excitement of a rainbow after a rain storm? Today’s color palette is inspired by the rainbow with …

This week’s color palette is all about fresh, pretty color. Think a hopelessly romantic garden wedding with a timeless yet modern pairing of peach and green. Sometimes I just can’t enough of soft, understated elegance and today is definitely one of those days when I was inspired by classic beauty. {top. Fabio Bartelt. left. Charleystar …
A few weeks ago on facebook I asked readers to chime in with requests for color palette ideas and this is the second palette inspired by that chat. (The first one was all about coral and gray.) For those of you looking for vibrant, saturated hues of red, pink and orange, this palette is for …
If I were the swooning type (and let me assure you, I am not) I would definitely be swooning over today’s real wedding feature. What I can tell you is that I think I may have cried the first time I saw photos from Whitney and AK’s wedding, captured by the amazing Emilie Inc. Whitney …
With July 4th just around the corner I wanted to play with the idea of a summery color palette with an Americana feel that wasn’t necessarily traditional red, white and blue. I love how calming and breezy this color combination ends up feeling, like a good old fashioned weekend at the beach. In fact, it …
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. …
For the rest of the week I’m spending some quality time in SoCal with my good friend Erika. This is my first trip to California and I’m already loving it! Today’s color palette was inspired by sunny California colors – refreshing hues of citrus-inspired oranges paired with blues that remind me of the ocean. This …
I love these color palettes because I get to continually switch things up. I have such a love for color. In fact, picking out paint colors has been my favorite part of renovating our first home and I’m actually pretty bummed that I’m down to the final few paint color selections. Today’s palette was inspired …
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 …
With spring having finally decided to stick around and summer close on her heels, you’re going to notice things getting increasingly beachy around here. I grew up on the water and I swear I can’t stay away, especially in the warmer months. By summer you’ll find me on a boat or a beach or a …
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. I just can’t get enough of simple cakes with dollops of homemade frosting and pretty cake bunting. A couple of bamboo skewers and little slips of ribbon are all it takes to …
For this week’s color palette I wanted to do something moody, but still really pretty and feminine. I love the mix of dusty navy blues and soft romantic pinks. It’s the perfect blend of masculine and feminine and it feels super sophisticated. Navy and pink can also be preppy with a lots of white and …
