ENTER THE WORLD OF COLOR
From pretty pinks to ravishing reds - color holds meaning, sets the tone, and adds your own touch of uniqueness to your special day. Today, we're going to walk you through and help you understand the World of Color.
PICKING YOUR PALETTE
The first step in building your florals is picking your palette. From a Romantic Garden to Eclectic Boho, color tones will greatly affect how you communicate your vibe throughout your event.
Two rules of thumb when choosing your color scheme.
(1) Keep Nature in mind. Nature rarely creates its masterpiece in flat colors, but rather in variation.
In most cases, your bouquet color tones will serve as a transitional design for your overall wedding theme.
(2) Pick a minimum of 5 shades for your color scheme. As we mentioned, nature creates through variation; because of this, the 5 shade rule allows you to select transitional colors that tie your floral elements to your general wedding design. Ending in a wonderous, colorful unity.
