When Kristin Vining sent us this recent Charlotte wedding that her sister company Weddings And The City helped orchestrate, we were blown away by the details!

Elle and Todd were married this spring at The Green Uptown in Charlotte, NC. Their gray, pink, fuschia, purple {and every shade in-between} color palette was their inspiration and boy did they run with it! What a perfect palette for oodles and oodles of rose petals, crystals and orchids …

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.

Color Palettes. Wedding Colors. Wedding Style. Wedding Theme. Venue. Blog. {or is it blogS} These are just a few of the soooooo many buzz words you’ll google in every way shape and form … when you begin planning your wedding.  Bottom line, though, is that you’re going to spend hour upon hour looking at pictures to help you determine just exactly what it is that makes you gasp and say, “That’s it. That’s us.”  We, at Style Me Pretty, try to help you do just that. Find ideas or colors or a style that will help you define you.

After setting the date, finding the church, finding a reception venue, dreaming about your gown … the next thought on your mind might be your wedding colors or color ‘palette’ as it’s lovingly referred to these days!  Tara Pollio of tara pollio floral-event design sent us this beautiful wedding with a color palette of orange, chartreuse and pewter. Tara said, “The contrast of the bright orange and cool pewter were so unique and set the tone for a glamorous and fun wedding!”
