We are organizing a destination wedding in Jamaica and the couple fell in love with the feel of pink and orange that will play off the blues and greens of the location. We created this inspiration board to help jump start the planning process.
Today’s inspiration board comes to you ripe with the vibrancy, energy and fun of a summer vacation in the Caribbean. I don’t know if it’s the amazing color or the delicious food, but I do know that at this time of year, I have dreams of lounging on a beach sipping something fruity yet potent, and being lulled in to a blissful daze by the sounds of a gentle ocean surf. If you feel the same way and are looking to harness some of that island magic for your own event, then we hope this board inspiration helps you do just that.
It’s the beginning of March and spring is just around the corner. While those of you saying “I Do” this year have probably already got your color ideas in the bag, We put together a few of our favorite color combos with this glorious season in mind you late starts and those of you thinking about next year’s budding time. These schemes were generated with DeGreave.com, but Big Huge Labs is also a great palette generating tool.
Spring makes me think of Sunflowers and Daisies. This Yellow and Green Paletter certainly plays out well for weddings featuring either of those two gems. If you want to lighten things up a bit, try replacing the browns with shades of blue to get a nice earth, sun, and sky motiff going.
You don’t get much girlier than pink and purple. However, the beautiful thing about this palette is it uses both dark and light shades so that your love and your guests don’t get quesy with that super sweet color combo. Plus the pale blue will tone things down quite a bit.
Of all the combos, I’d have to say this is my favorite. It’s rich without being too garish, and it’s bright without blinding the eye. The aqua also makes me think of a tropic sea, so this is a great one for summer weddings too.
Finally, this orange and pink palette screams fun, energy, and oddly enough, romance(must be the pink). Orange is always good for a nice visual kick while the pink softens and lightens the intensity.
Got some beautiful spring colors of your own? Let us know!
As with most inspiration boards, I discovered this theme while perusing the net. I saw the colorful, bamboo centerpieces and inspiration hit. Really, aren’t they gorgeous? These centerpieces aren’t for everyone, as they have too many colors to be deemed elegant and the candy colors practically shout ‘fun’! So, what better way to show these pieces up than in a fun spring or summer beach event? If you feel the same way, I hope this board serves to inspire you in your own planning endeavors.
Side note: The watercolor dress is from Bari Jay’s Shimmer collection, the cocktail is Hypnotic Liqueur mixed with something lovely and intoxicating, the invites are from Wedding Paper Divas, the favor bags are highlighted in our January 12 post, and the earrings are blue topaz with pink tourmaline. Everything else was found by luck and without citation, so happy hunting!
