Defining Your Color Palette

May 19th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 6 comments

Color. It’s something that we talk about all the time on SMP. Determining your color palette is one of the first steps in creating a wedding that is uniquely you…a palette that compliments your venue, that defines your look, that allows you to design a wedding that reflects your own style and personality.

When I saw this purple inspired affair, I just about fell out of my chair. This wedding is a lesson in color palettes. A perfect interpretation of what we believe is so important in defining your colors…layering. Varying shades of color so that there is a depth, a dimension to your style.  So that your guests don’t see blocks of color, but rather a perfectly cohesive, seamless affair where effortless elegance takes center stage.

We have the full wedding coming up next, so stay tuned!

    Ohh... I can't wait to see the rest! We happen to be using plum and lavender in our wedding.

    I like the layering idea. I didn't realize that I had to inform the parents what to wear until my mom asked me, and I'm trying to figure out what to do.

    amen and hallelujah. I am so tired of people stressing over something being the exact shade they desire. come ON! relationships (i.e. marriages) are not about perfection and precision but about depth and coordination - why should your wedding say otherwise?

    We're using plum and lilac in our Summer 2010 wedding as well. But I'm pairing them with champagne and black for a glamorous vintage, evening affair. Can't wait to see it play out!
