Color Palette: Spring Pastels

Kelly
April 03

I love the soft romantic colors of spring, soft pinks, purples in yellows… Above yellow takes centerstage and adds a pop of brightness.

Sage green is another lovely color on which to play aganist. For a wedding I could see using a sage velvet, milk glass containers and spring blooms like clematis, lavender, and ranunuclus.

Of course soft pink is a classic base color. You could drape your table in a soft pink and overlay a couple of layers of pink tulle for a slighty ballet-ish feel. Add in some muted white and peach flowers with a hint of yellow, and you’d have one pretty table. Would you use pastels for your wedding or home?

Fuchsia & Red + Weekend Links

February 22

This week I’m feeling inspired by deep fuchsia and bright reds and I’m in love with these two photos. On the rocks will (finally) be returning next week and I’m so excited to share some new libation ideas with you (you can see a sneak peek right here).

I’m prepping for a 12 (yes 12!) look bridal shoot which will be revealed March 29th so posting will probably be a bit sporadic next week as I run back and forth to LA to retrieve dresses, pick up flowers, and pull props.

In the meantime, here are some weekend links, enjoy!

Watercolor Moments

A little post today (since it is technically a holiday) of some pretty watercolor moments. How cute are these DIY water color tags? They’d make for some cute escort cards!

Pair actual watercolor elements with watercolor flowers (how pretty are the clematis on the left?) and you’ve got a pretty, soft, spring look I love… See you tomorrow, I’m off to prep for a shoot… you can get a sneak peek of what I’m up to right here

Let’s Shop: Rainbow Chic

Interested in throwing a rainbow chic fiesta? Here are some rainbow inspired products that would set a pretty fun, and definitely colorful table:


Color Palette: All the Colors of the Rainbow

Kelly

While soft muted palettes are always a safe bet for a wedding or a party, I personally like to go bold and I think using all the colors of the rainbow would be super fun for a bridal shower, engagement party, or yes, even a wedding. The key to making this color combo not to cray cray, is to balance it with a lot of white and clean, modern edges.

In the past, I’ve used washi tape on simple white butcher block paper to make a rainbow runner. I also used it to cover simple glass pillars with candles. Washi tape is translucent, so the glow of the candle will be filtered through the colorful tape.

The runner is pretty cheap too make, but it does of course tape a fair amount of time, but I think it’s worth it!

Of course, what’s the fun of a rainbow themed party if you can’t “taste the rainbow”? Enter Enjoy Cupcakes and their adorable rainbow bright cupcakes!

On the table, the cupcakes pop against the graphic rainbow napkins.

Enjoy also made a mini-rainbow cake (see them in the frosting?) and topped it with a handful of colorful fruit.

And, of couse, a flower girl with a rainbow of hula hoops, is always a winner!

Let’s Shop: Pajama Party

Kelly
December 06

 

‘Tis the season to drink hot cocoa, enjoy a day (or two) of not getting dressed properly (my Christmas plans always), eating enough cookies to make even Santa embarrassed, and, of course, sporting some seriously cozy loungewear. So, for this year I’m thinking a colorful and bright ensemble is just the ticket. Plush turquoise slippers? Check. Plaid pajama pants? Check! It just wouldn’t be the holidays without some plaid. And finally, a sleepmask to make sure I rest up before all the merry making? Check!
