Fall inspiration board

I know it's only the beginning of August and I hate to put the depressing thought of fall being around the corner out there, but I came across this lovely fall wedding inspiration board and thought I would share it with you:

Pretty colour combination: peach and pink

Happy Thursday, everyone! One more day left until the weekend. I will be posting pictures of Sarah and Michael's wedding stationery suite next week and thought I would share some colour inspiration using their colour palette. Sarah and Michael's wedding colours are peach, pink and white. I thought this inspiration board brought in all of their colours beautifully:

Stay tuned to the blog next week when I'll share Sarah and Michael's stationery suite!

Unique wedding combination: purple, turquoise and green

I made a suite using this uique colour combination a while ago, but I recently came across a blog post on onestylishbride.com with pictures from a real wedding that used this combination. Here are some photos below:

Pretty palatte: purple and yellow

Two colours that we absolutely love together are purple and yellow! A pale purple and butter yellow is perfect for a spring wedding, and a bright yellow and royal purple are perfect for a summer wedding. We scoured the web and found some colour inspiration for this palatte:

Decisions, decisions: 2011 wedding colour trends

For me, one of the hardest decisions I had to make for my wedding was what colour scheme to go with. The possibilities are endless! Unless you have a particular colour in mind, you might want to consider exploring what the latest colour trends are. There are a ton of resources out there to help you.
Some of the biggest trends we're seeing for the upcoming year include bright, BOLD colours (which I just love, by the way!) The top bright colours for the coming year include: apple green, hot pink, coral, red, violet purple, emerald green and yellow, to name a few. Here is an example of some of the top bold colours:

For those of you with autumn or winter weddings, think vintage. The trend for fall and winter weddings in 2011 is vintage-inspired colours, which will make your event a classy affair. These colours include: chocolate brown, brick red, charcoal grey, olive green, tangerine, deep blue and khaki.

Here is an example of some of the vintage colour inspirations for 2011:

And just in case you're curious, the colour scheme I went with was coral, light gold and off white, which looked STUNNING with our venue. Pictures of our wedding stationery are posted on the Glass Slipper Designs Calgary website and on our Facebook page, so be sure to check out our examples.
