by: One last trip to the beach for this Color Monday. We're rounding out our 3-part beach series for Color Mondays.
Today we're inspired by white sandy beaches. Here the color palette is all about white! Think of white fluffy clouds and white-washed docks, white sand and bleached seashells. White is a color when it appears on the beach!
To create this effect you must focus on the neutrals and only use color sparingly. Little hints of blue or teal are noticed mainly because everything else is a soft muted shade of sandy brown or creamy white. Think of a beach house with it's pastel walls and white furniture. With these tones, one gets the feeling of endless summer and cool breezes--coming through sheer curtains. Sounds like a great wedding to go to!
Of course we have Beach Wedding Invitations that correspond to this palette. You might even be interested in a nautical theme if this idea appeals to you.
Now to apply this look to non-beach invitations. The feeling of peace and tranquility comes through with the colors. Just remember to treat white as a real color- not just the left over background, it makes a big difference!
Go beyond the original color to create the look that you want. The color CAN make your favorite design into the perfect invitation for your wedding.
What do you think? Are white and neutrals really a beach inspired combination? Are there any beach colors we missed in this series?
