MISS BRIDE'S WEDDING ADVENTURES: CLOSE YOUR EYES

Now that the dress search has come to a happy ending, are you ready to move on? YES, me too. Next up? Wedding colors!

I think wedding color combos are super important as they can pretty much set the scene/feel/mood of the wedding. Other aspects, of course, work to create a final "look," but colors invoke such a strong feeling that will translate to the wedding day. For example...close your eyes...what words come to mind when you think of these colors?

Yellow and White? Light and Fresh!

Black and White? Formal and Modern!

Orange and Brown? Warm and Cozy!

As usual, I had a hard time choosing colors. Mr Latte and I wanted our wedding to have a clean, crisp and casual feeling for our guests. So we had to think outside of the proverbial (Crayola) box to come up with a palette that fit our wedding style.

Mr Latte's only request was that the colors weren't too "girly." He didn't expand on that so I chose LIGHT PINK.

But I'm no bridezilla, so I also included a nice CHOCOLATE BROWN to complement it.

And we all know by now that making decisions isn't exactly my forte, so I also included a MOSS GREEN.

And every good palette needs an accent color, so ours will be DARK PINK.

Oh, and don't forget the base color, IVORY. (Ok, yes I know that's yellow but that's the closest read-able color to Ivory).

Yup, that's 5 colors.

Btw, Color Combos is a fun place to make your own color palette! You can look through their Combo Library and find an already coordinated palette, or use their color swatches to make your very own!

My inspiration was this pic below. I love the crisp look of the table decor. Very distinct colors that all coordinate together...lovely!
