Deep Jewel Tones & Bold Color Combos

So, I've never been afraid of color but some brides might be a little unsure of the bold color combos trending for fall and 2012 events now. With a little guidance and restraint, an event with bold jewel tones paired with warm neutrals could be the show-stopping effect you're dreaming of! As you're planning, remember that not every element of your event should be saturated with strong color tones. Same as interior design- the eye needs a place to rest in order to take in all the lovelies. So, be sure to bring in neutrals with the same warm undertones as the bold jewel tones you select. My favorite right now: eggplant, aqua blue, mahogany and gold. Throw in a little light cream, ivory and/or taupe when any neutral is in order (not really for the bride who's grandmother demands she wears white, not ivory!). Consider searching flea markets or borrowing mismatched vintage style china in a variety of patterns, but all within the same color range. In my opinion, this inspiration picture from Sarah Maren Photography is gorgeous, but remember- when you find an inspiration picture there's no need to "copy" it. Choose the elements you love the most & work from those. Incorporate your own style while omitting your not-so-faves from the photo(s). Make it your own, and call us to make it Perfectly Posh!
