Inspiration Board: Navy and Lilac

Navy is such a classic color to use in a color palette. It can be paired with just about any other color and be incredibly elegant.

While making this inspiration board, I was feeling inspired by the coming fall season and the jewel tones that are popular for the cooler months. The combination of navy and lilac is accented beautifully by white, and the three together would make for an extremely chic and elegant event!

I love the way navy can create an elegant event when combined with just about any color! One of my favorite combinations is navy and yellow, so there will most certainly be an inspiration board for that coming soon!

So, readers, what other colors do you like with navy? Please share them with me! I would love to know your opinions!

Inspiration Board: Purple and Gray

Inspiration Board Tuesday! My favorite day of the week!

It's no secret that I'm in love with gray this year. I've held off on posting this inspiration board, but I just couldn't hold back my love for gray anymore!

The purple and gray color combination can be used in any season. It's perfect for the upcoming fall and winter seasons, but would also work wonderfully for a spring wedding! Using a dark purple exudes a sophisticated and classy feel, whereas lavender is great for a more modern event.

Inspiration Board: Eggplant Purple

For this week's inspiration board, I was feeling very drawn to the color combination of eggplant purple with accents of green.
The intensity of the green could vary depending on the style of the wedding. A modern, semi-formal wedding would be great using a bright lime green, or we could see a pale sage green for a classy formal wedding. Plum and green is a great color palette for the fall or winter, however, just making the purple a tad bit lighter could work exquisitely for a spring event!
