Happy new year everyone! To start us off, I thought I’d share a great inspiration board from fabulous weddings we were a part of in 2010! If you can’t decide on just one color, don’t worry: mixing colors of the same palette makes for a powerful and rich effect. Here are ideas for use of oranges, reds with touches of purple. The mix of flowers also makes for great textures, especially for your bridesmaids’ bouquets and your centerpieces!
