Color Palette – Whites
The next Michele Michael inspiration is all about the layering of whites. Adding a butter yellow, a slightly deeper burlap or linen color and a few natural greens really rounds out this clean, organic palette…

I have always been a fan of layered whites. In fact, my home is basically designed using a series of neutrals and whites…a palette that seems so fresh and airy, so romantic and charming. So of course, I love this look for a wedding. The key is to find different shades of white (from pale yellows to antique creams and natural linens) and to layer various textures and styles, creating a look that has a sense of depth and simple luxury.

I love combining all different shades of whites and creams with dark wood and the dark green of say, magnolia leaves and other greenery. That's what I was planning to do for our reception, but now I'm questioning myself. Our reception is in a huge space of mostly greyish-white marble (SF City Hall) -- and both FI and I are now concerned that sticking with a white and cream palette will just look completely washed out. Any thoughts?
My favorite palette in the world: neutral greys and shades of white. We chose it for our upcoming wedding.
However, I had the same problem as Amy H, so we added just a hint of broght orange. It helped a lot. I fought to keep the orange light; it is always a line of orange, never ever an orange surface. I hope it'll be beautiful in the end.
I think that it really depends on the venue. I looooove an all white palette and generally think that it looks pretty in every setting. With that said, white looks are often a bit more demanding than colorful palettes. They require more layering and sometimes, more decor.
