Wedding color ideas
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!

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 …

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.

After last week’s color palette took a rich and dramatic turn, I decided to give happy spring-inspired yellow another whirl.

Today’s color palette was inspired by one of my fabulous event design clients (hi, Lauren!) and her love for this gorgeous real wedding on Snippet & Ink. We’ve been talking about shades of peach and blush for a while now, and I love how those colors look paired with ivory, gray and a punchy shade …
Today’s color palette is dramatic, rich and moody. It’s also completely sophisticated pairing deep indigo blues with shades of brighter blue, aquamarine and touches of warm gray. I love this palette because it’s bold and a bit unexpected, yet somehow still feels classic and timeless. (p.s. I’m loving these palettes! How about you?) {top. pia …
