Purple Color Palette
Wow…you guys made some great suggestions. I particularly love the idea of infusing the palette with a bit of raspberry. There is just something about the red/pink hues that suggests warmth and romance. I also really like the orange hues but for now, I thought I would stick with the colors that I am initially pulled towards…
Dress by Maggie London at Nordstrom, Flowers by Fresh Studio on Oh Happy Blog, glass arrangements by Hatch Creative Studio, Golden Florals and Ribbon Cake on Rebecca Thuss.
I have to say…toot, toot…I think that this palette is absolutely gorgeous. I chose a golden yellow, rather than a canary yellow which seems to really compliment the purple. With that said, the gold/yellows should be used sparingly, accenting the foundation colors. Perhaps little bud vases of golden flowers on cocktail tables, or a cake decorated with golden ribbon, gold beaded chargers, you get the drift.
The raspberry, on the other hand, is a perfect mate for the purple/plum color…everything seems to sparkle with the addition of this deep pink hue.
I think the board is really getting there. It is still missing something, so I am going to keep at it. I will keep you posted if I come up with anything else today! What do you guys think?
Looks great! Perhaps you could try a hint of turquoise color? I think used sparingly it could add a lot. I was thinking of the wedding Lisa Vorce did at Saddlerock (betty and josh in - http://www.stylemepretty.com/2007/10/an-inspired-a-2.html )." rel="nofollow">http://www.stylemepretty.com/2007/10/an-inspired-a-2.html). > Good luck!
what about adding a pewter or gray to the palette - even in the linens, serving trays, or a clutch i think the coolness might hold the purples and make the golds pop...
Kristy you read my mind-I was going to suggest some gray! Its my color so I'm a little biased haha. I think it will make the purple a little richer - purple is such a beautiful color!
I totally agree...a grey or pewter would round out this palette. You guys are good!!!
LOVE THE LAVENDAR dress! Its so rich and inspiring!
