Color: MY wedding color palette

As I am tagging and viewing wedding photos on a certain social networking site tonight I thought I would start sharing my creative design process for our wedding. I will start out simple with the basic components that I built everything else from :)

The colors:
I gave all involved a key ring with paint swatches that jason and i gathered at the hardware store. Everything was to evolve around that color scheme. Here are the names of the paints we picked out (i always wonder what you have to do to become a professional paint color namer?)
The reddish oranges-
-Firemist
-Rosita
-Rosa Azores
-Rosa Flmenco
-Delta Clay
-Burnt Red (ok this one is not that creative)
-Candy Corn

The teal accents-
-Lucky Shamrock (the name is deceiving... it is not a shamrock color at all)
-Palmetto

Now that you are visualizing what they might look like according to the paint swatch names... here are the equivalents i used to design based on those paint swatches (these are not in order as listed above).

Not quite the normal fall colors but a little more modernized twist and the teal accent goes so lovely with the reds and the oranges!

The Drawings:
With that color palette and these drawings below (by me:)) I created all of our wedding collateral

 It was killing me to not share all of this process and my pretty designs sooner but I didnt want to ruin the surprise for everyone who was actually invited to the wedding. So now that you know what the foundation was for 'print identity' of my wedding, next post I will show you the beautiful stationery pieces I am so very proud of!

Inspired: by AUTUMN

Wow has it really been a month since my last post? huge apologies from me! Now that I am almost back to everyday reality after my fabulous wedding, I will definitely be posting more frequently again.

Besides all the gorgeous colors on the leaves.....

 

you can really tell autumn is here when you see gourds like these EVERYWHERE. Now if only i could think of a tasteful way to use them to decorate (besides putting them in a bowl:)). The colors are amazing and the shapes are.... well odd.

I saw these pumpkins and the above gourds at a stand along the highway on my way to southern MN yesterday to visit a vineyard. They had any size pumpkin there for only $4. (Too bad my husband wasn't along to pick out our pumpkins to carve this year cuz that price was a steal!)

Well I just wanted to get you thinking AUTUMN today :) cuz I know I am!!!!!

Soon to come..... all the postings about my wedding that I know you have been waiting to see! From concepts and planning, to stationery, to hopefully amazing photos from the talented Sara Jayne Photography

have a lovely evening!
