Peacock Blue, Brown & Cream
|
|
This board was inspired by a question from one of our readers planning a fall wedding. "I'm in a bit of a color quandary. I love blues, browns, and creams but I want a fall wedding. Any thoughts on incorporating those colors into a fall theme wedding?" While
blue may not be the first color that comes to mind when one thinks
of fall, the right shade of blue such as these rich Peacock &
Royal blues mixed with brown and cream makes a sophisticated and
warm fall palette. Blue & brown feathered chair covers and table linens available for rent nationwide through Mosaic. Invitations by Hello! Lucky, a specialty letterpress company. This romantic gown was designed by Gaia House. Gaia House only uses pure, organically grown, vegetarian silks known as “Peace silks” because the silk worm is not killed during the production process. Bouquet photo by Hy Studio. There's nothing quite like a warm cup of hot chocolate on a crisp fall day. Treat your guests to a hot chocolate favor; follow these easy instructions on how to make a hot chocolate cone for two. Insert each cone shaped hot chocolate bag into a Peacock or Royal blue paper cone. |
