Color Monday: Easy Color Palette

Note to self: must remember that it's 2012 now! Does anyone else have troubles keeping that straight in January? Maybe it's just me. Speaking of the New Year--did anyone get engaged over the weekend or witness any proposals? We'd love to extend our congrats and hear all about it! In any case, we hope you had a wonderful weekend! While we're still out of the office at MagnetStreet today, we didn't want to leave you without inspiration for Color Monday.

Today's inspiration is for anyone having difficulty deciding on a wedding color palette or simply deciding on paint colors for a room in their home. Well sometimes, it's as easy as uploading your favorite photo into a color generator tool--like this one to get your answer{s}. For photo inspiration, I tend to look to my surroundings--because regardless of the season, mother nature always gets it right!

Take for instance, the following images--bursting with the beauty and bounty of a snowy winter.

Doesn't the "rainforest" green of the bird feeder just pop against the white snow, and amidst the fluttering "champagne"-colored birds and "latte"-colored branches? What a pretty palette that would make for a spring or winter wedding--one that's lively but grounded with elegant neutrals. We personalized "Luminary Approach" Save the Date Magnet design and "Charming Lavender" Tea-length Wedding Invitation to showcase the beauty. What do you think?

 

For those that prefer a more traditional approach to a winter wedding color palette, we personalized "Luminary Approach" Save the Date and "Charming Lavender" with "hunter" green and "scarlet" red.

 

 

Soft, subtle and romantic, here the stage is set with the "dusty rose" of her hat. With an almost nostalgic feel, this palette would be beautiful in a wedding offering a nod to a bygone era.

Check out "Luminary Approach" Save the Date Magnet design and "Charming Lavender" Tea-length Wedding Invitation as they are originally designed and see for yourself how simply changing the colors can transform the design before your very eyes!

Which palette is your favorite? Do you prefer cool and lively or a palette of soft neutrals?
