Choosing Your Color!

“I’m getting married!”, my friend exclaims.
“Congratulations!”, I reply, “What colors?!”

Rainbows, gardens, kaleidoscopes, stained glass, paint chips… any one of these things has the ability to make me completely stop what I’m doing to admire the beauty of color. When 2 or more colors are combined creatively, elegantly and intelligently- you have the start of a great palette to work with for an art project, room of your house… or a wedding.

I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised with the modern bride’s taste these days. My jaw recently dropped in appreciation of this lovely wedding palette of red and pink! I’ve seen it accented by orange and also a deep plum. Lovely.

I made this red and pink invite at getrelish.com

One of my favorite things to do is play on the Relish Invitation Builder. You can dreams up all kinds of crazy color combos It’s important that your wedding colors reflect what you both love! (Mainly you, I know). If you haven’t chosen a theme yet, here’s a little inspiration for ya! Remember that no rainbow is too bright, and no neutral is too neutral! As long as YOU adore it, DO it!

Childhood Dreamer

As girly as I may be, I was not one of the little girls that was planning her wedding from the age of five. It hit me at about 17 that I wanted to get married someday. Since then, I’ve been a bridesmaid six times (the seventh will be this Fall). I love weddings- the dresses, the decorations, the love and celebration… But as far as my own future-wedding-planning, what’s the only thing I truly daydream about? The colors! (Okay– and the invitations!). When I was 17, I decided that whenever I got married, I would do the opposite colors of that season. So for a Fall wedding- Spring colors, or vice-versa. I always heard so many people say “If it’s in the Spring, I want pink and sage green. If it’s in the fall, I want burgundy and orange.” Let me clarify- there is nothing wrong with this method of planning. I wish it were that simple for me, actually. But no- I’m the weird, out-of-the-box girl that can’t be tied to just one palette per season. I can’t just see what’s available and pick from what someone’s already picked for me. That’s why Stephanie and I created Relish in the first place! You tell us what you want, not the other way around!

That’s all for now. I am working on an exciting Fall color palette- check back soon!
