I came across the beautiful blue painting below and knew I had to build a color board around it. A rich, deep blue complements crisp white to create a bold, yet neutral scheme. I especially love the unique, architectural details in the wedding gown!

I love the idea of using a bold, almost neon, orange as a unique wedding color! When paired with soft neutrals, the orange really shines, bringing a fresh, modern vibe to your wedding day. I think bridesmaids in neutral dresses with super bright accessories and shoes is a great way to introduce a pop of color without overwhelming the other details.

Yesterday, Pantone announced their Color of the Year 2013, PANTONE 17-5641 | Emerald! Their description:
Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.
What are your thoughts on this color? Personally, I love the jewel-tone quality and richness of the hue. It is a big change from last year’s color of the year, Tangerine Tango, but a welcomed one, I think. Here is a little inspiration board to get you thinking about Emerald for your upcoming wedding or event!
