Inspiration 222: Olive & Eggplant

I don't think olive green gets enough credit!  I think olive is a great color for a fall or winter wedding, or an Italian inspired one.  For this board I paired it with eggplant for a elegant autumn color palette.

Monday Funday 18: Vintage Gypsy Style

Fun board requests always excite me!!  The bride who requested this board wants to create a 1930s gypsy/carnival feel with an jewel-tone eggplant and dark teal color palette.  She also hoped to incorporate stars and tarot cards (used here as the escort cards).  There are a ton of great elements in this board, but I love the veil the most!  It definitely portrays that vintage gypsy feel.  The hanging umbrellas are just amazing too, and the use of vintage suitcases is the perfect touch.

Real Wedding: Amanda & Wesley's Purple and Orange Wedding

I love the color combo used in this wedding!  Pale purple mixed with eggplant and orange was just perfect for this September wedding.  And the bride's dress is so beautiful, to die for!  I also love the fun pop of her cobalt shoes.  Check out this beautiful wedding submitted by Lorraine Daley Photography:

Inspiration 198: Eggplant & Apricot

I think this would be a beautiful color palette for late summer or early fall.  The dark eggplant and the soft apricot really play well together creating a very romantic feel.  I love how this bouquet incorporates artichokes, stay tuned for an Alternative Wednesday and a Real Wedding featuring artichokes coming this week!
