…With Denise, of Bellis Studios!

I’m back with more color inspiration for the week. This is the time of year that many brides are planning for their upcoming spring and summer weddings. Well, Mother Nature decided to throw her own party here in the Midwest and we woke up to a winter wonderland. How could I not use that as my inspiration this week’s post?

I started with the silvery blue in the ring shown above that I found here on Pinterest. I built my palette around that, adding a touch of eggplant for interest. With winter whites, you can keep things simple and elegant while you let Mother Nature add the magic.

Brides, if there is one reliable source when it comes to predicting the hottest wedding colors, you know you can definitely count on Pantone. For the year of 2010, Pantone has chosen turquoise as it’s top color! Whimsical, breezy and beautiful spells out this calming shade of love…wouldn’t you say?
