Hey, Corey!
We are looking forward to your beautiful wedding in our gardens next spring!
Let’s talk about colors!
- Apricot Crush. This bright pastel shade of orange is an energizing and refreshing hue which brings a deep sense of restorative well-being. This color pairs with neutral colors and with many pastel shades.
2. Earth Tones: Earth Tones are those colors inspired by anything in nature. For this reason, any color found outside of your house could be considered an Earth Tone or Earth tone.
Earth tones are usually defined as the quieter, more muted shades of brown, beige, green, gray, red, orange, and yellow. Terracotta, camel, ochre, toasted, and beige are all Earth Tones.
Earth tones convey elegance and a sense of calm.
3. Metallic and Neutral Tones:
For several years, the metallics such as gold, rose gold, champagne, copper, pewter, and silver were associated with Contemporary, Modern, or Urban weddings to give an edgy, modern look.
For 2024, we will see these shiny alternatives to Earth Tones popping up in Vintage, Rustic, and many other wedding themes to give an elegant, vintage look.
Elegant wedding dresses with silver, gold, or other metallic details are showing up on the 2024 wedding fashion show catwalks.
Taking it a step further, certain designers created wedding dresses out of silver or gold fabric. We are seeing more bridesmaids’ dresses in classy metallics including silver, gold, and rose gold.
A metallic color can be added to any wedding color palette to add sparkle, shimmer, and shine while acting as a focal point Mettalics offer a classic look for any wedding.
