Nautical Prepfection : Color Inspiration

Nautical Prepfection!

This preppy color inspiration inspired by a recent painted watercolor bow tie illustration I did for our client’s custom wedding stationery. {View more of my recent watercolor illustrations!}

Light lime green, pink, and light pink with a rich splash of nautical navy. Perfect for a preppy spring or summer event. If you love to sail or be beside the seaside, this color palette is for you!

For an elegant nautical wedding look keep the navy as your main color and add a splish of pink and splash of light green as accent colors. Just fabulous!

Have a sparkling day and ENJOY!

Tropical Paradise : Color Inspiration

Aloha! I just ADORE this tropical hibiscus flower I spotted at our local green house. Thankfully I was ready with my Canon camera to capture this beauty.

Bright yellow, light tangerine orange, bright orange, saturated bright tropical red hibiscus with a base of green leaves. Simply beautiful.

The Sarah Design hibiscus wedding invitation is a perfect match! I’ve been a HUGE fan of illustrating and painting hibiscus flowers since I started offering my invitations and cards online. The hibiscus flower fits perfectly with a beach wedding, tropical event, and Hawaiian wedding.

If you are going to use the yellow and red, be sure to not over do it. Remember, yellow + red = mustard and ketchup. You don’t want equal parts of each color. Just a splash of one then use the other as your main wedding color.

You can pair these vibrant hues with mocha, taupe, gray, black, silver, or gold.

Just LOVELY!

Pretty Pastels : Color Inspiration

Pretty pastels with a splash of gold makes up today’s color inspiration! Light rose pink, peach, mint green, light aqua, and gold colors are perfect for a spring or summer wedding.

In the past few months I have seen a HUGE pretty pink trend. Super soft blush pinks paired with gold, silver, black, and/or grays.

I am truly smitten over Erica Obrien’s cake design. See the entire wedding cake in my earlier wedding cake post. It is just fabulous.
