The latest trend for Fall weddings is definitely going to include lots of purples. When choosing colors for your wedding or special event, the colors help convey the theme and really tie everything together. So you really want color combination’s that work and convey balance. Consider going monochromatic as well by using shades of one single color.
To most people, labeling a color with it’s well-known spectrum name invokes a similar image. I like to be more specific and say raspberries, plums and wine instead of purple. Doesn’t that help you visualize totally different colors? Me too.
This Tux Leather Chair from Crate & Barrel is a beautiful plum purple.
Most of my clients look to conventional wedding magazines for their color palettes. I like to go beyond that. Looking at objects like this one can show you that color palettes and inspiration can be created from anything. I am going to be starting a new blog series titled, {Styled Chic}. This will be sort of a design challenge for myself but it will really help my clients understand the capabilities of looking beyond The Knot magazine suggestions (*wink ). Think beyond the page and follow your own beat! Open your eyes and look around what inspires you and truly reflects you as a couple or brand. This will help capture the personalities of the company or couple’s special event. Then the design will be featured in my Etsy Boutique and a Signature Collection that can be purchased.
Here is the first challenge: Turn this space into an invitation. Room interiors can often really capture a couples personality. Photos of family, heirlooms and items bought while traveling. Colors also help capture this because they evoke feelings. This image definitely shows a chic couple that is on top of their game. Bold and graphic, modern and clean. I personally would not have such a light wood floor, but my challenge is to create an invitation and brand this couple, not redecorate their boudoir!
Check back next week to see my interpretation and answer to this Styled Chic No. 1.
