There have been so many times on this blog that I have praised the use of color in your wedding color palette. Color can completely transform a space…it can bring a warmth in, a sophistication, even a flirty and fun feel. I love color. And yet, I am and will always be a die hard white fan. My furniture is almost all white, my clothes usually center around some form of white, I tear out magazine pages that feature all white weddings because I think that they are frame-worthy.
So, when I saw Victoria Pearson’s all white color palette, of course…I fell in love.
The layers of white are just so inviting to me. Sweet sophistication. I am working on a wedding board that is inspired by Victoria’s color palette that I will put up a little later today. But, in the meantime, I am curious what you guys think? Is white boring? Or is it completely elegant?
Also…make sure you check out our two very important announcements right below this post!

white is … completely elegant!

I absolutely love an all white or almost all white palatte! I think the warmth and romance it exudes is just delightful!

White can be utterly beautiful and I always think so but when it comes to my design choices I scurry amongst the fabric aisles and just can’t resist colour. The navy/cream colour theme of my winter wedding is the most restrained I have ever been in my life. Pity for my fiance wearing bright pink on the most important day of his life reined in my fuschia/lime thoughts and found more restraint, but no colour at all?
All white?
What would the bridesmaids wear?

I see the bridesmaids wearing a more neutral color…a champagne, nude or even chocolate. Something to ground the palette a little bit but not take aways from the all white effect…

I adore all white - in fact I’m using whites as the color palette for my vow renewal next year (white, ivory, champagne). My favorite picture above is the gorgeous bouquet of just-slightly-blush peonies.
Great inspiration board!

I think white schemes have a tendency to be boring, only if they haven’t been infused with various textures, and shades. If everything is very flat, it looks quite dull; however, that can probably be said about any colour!
When executed well, it can be incredibly elegant and beautiful.

To me an all white palette evokes elegance and timelessness. Love it!

I love meringue… theres just something about it. Even though a white palette is well.. white. I still think its a nice color choice. I love this board. So pretty! So pure!
Comment by Kelly on 13 November 2007:
I think an all-white white wedding can be done really beautifully if you give it some real thought. I think some traditionalists end up falling back on all white because it seems easy, but it’s actually really hard! I saw a spread recently on three or four different kinds of all-white weddings, and they were all beautiful. It can be a great challenge and really bring some beautiful results.

I agree! I think that an all white palette is one of the more difficult looks to achieve. It’s hard to ensure that the white doesn’t look blank. Or too cold.

I agree that an all white wedding can be so elegant if done right. As you mentioned, texture and hues are so important to pull it off. I love all of the pictures you showed. Victoria is my favorite photographer : )

a all white wedding is an awesome, elegant, and stylish, and you can really splurge with the details and textures
