funk palettes

sometimes i wonder how people think of putting such un-traditional colors together then i realize i should look out the window. on a sunny day we are bombarded by yellow, green, blue, white, pinks, and brown. not a normal color palette for your house but it sure looks beautiful outside.

i am loving the oranges and muted colors shown in all these pictures. i think i found the key. use a neutral as a base (brown in most of these photos), pair it with a funky color (orange), and then add something traditional (light blue, grey etc.) and there you have it. i never think of wearing orange but the understated tones here look awesome together.

while looking at these pictures i also noticed red and teal together. it was pretty awesome. what is your favorite "outside of the box" color palette?

spring wedding inspiration board: color

i LOVE all of this color. i just went through my inspiration folders and crammed everything together. having a spring wedding would be very fun, especially since color would be much welcomed after a long, drizzly winter. the best way to combine all the colors together would be to work from your flower arangements. look at pictures of beautiful gardens for inspiration. take the colors from the pictures, use white as your base (bride's dress, tableclothes, cake etc), and you will have a beautiful pallet.

all the dresses are from jcrew. the flower photos are from style me pretty. i love the little white vases with pops of color. very cute. the name card holders are oranges. clementines would be really cute! the moss covered bouquet is an awesome idea. i love little details like this. the man's boutonniere has little flowered thistles for an outdoor look.
