    When picking a color palette for our wedding I was apparently very tongue tied- so says my MOH/Invitation Goddess/Graphic Designer. MOH had to fill me in on how to properly name colors and carry around a palette so that I did not wind up with the wrong colors. But first how was I supposed to pick colors!?! As a Doctor of Audiology student I am quite good with sounds and know exactly which songs to pick and what not to… but colors I believe I must have failed that section of Kindergarten. So Cherry Dude and I sat down to discuss. We came up with a bullet pointed list (ahhh how we love...

    We found a little inspiration from a 1960′s Vogue cover for our retro color palette that would be perfect for an outdoor Mad Men picnic style wedding. As you know, we have proclaimed  our love for a retro wedding and would love to see this colorful palette come to life. We also must mention if you are a die-hard fashionista, you can buy vintage Vogue covers like this one by clicking here. To see this color palette on our colourlovers page click here.

    Our darling kitten, Ajax, was the inspiration behind the latest color palette. He's the cutest color--sort of a pink buff, like the inside of a shell....

    It's time to announce the winners for our recent Color Palette Contest! And, I say winners (plural) because I have decided to feature two first place winners...one vote driven and one editor's choice! After I reviewed all of the entries that were featured, I have chosen this board as a my pick... Although there were so many boards that I loved, I chose this one because I felt like the designer really took the challenge to a new level. She found an image that completely inspired her and she ran with it. I love the vibrancy of the color palette, the beautifully cultural approach an...

    Excited to start a new Friday series here. I’ve collected so many images over the past three years (yes! the past three years! it will soon be my blogiversary) that I love on their own, just for their power to inspire pretty color palettes. So here we go! Number one. From the queen of color, Kate Spade. {image via High Heeled Foot in the Door via Kate Spade}...

    As a rule I’ve always gravitated toward cool colors – I love all shades of blue, gray, aqua, turquoise and jade. But lately, lately I find myself drawn to warm rich shades of buttery yellow, gold and mustard. I love the how the shades transform themselves when paired together. With lots of sparkly accents this palette feels surprisingly glamorous, but when anchored with lots of white it feels fresh, crisp and summery. There is no denying the warmth of yellow, an inherently cheerful color. Perhaps right now I’m just missing the sun and longing for spring as winters in upstate NY can be so...
