palette inspiration: spring into colour - green, pink, red

Green and red are definately not just for christmas any longer. This mood board is proof! Sharp, crisp green mixed with darker shades of green and red with a punch of pink make the perfect wedding palette. These are a few of our faves at the moment - a Vera Bradley 'you make me blush' pattern inspired wedding to the custom made necktie by Tux & Tulle, a special addition of red Manolo's (love the sparkle!). Of course, the English could never forget tea. The assorted tea cups - Gardner Street Green, by Kate Spade for Lenox, Bamboo Casual, by Monique Lhuillier for Royal Doulton. Seriously, we die.

colour inspiration: Kate Spade Spring 2012

My weekend was spent in London (Chelsea, darling!) with my style guru, Candace (also American by birth, British by choice!). We did a spot of shopping, had an amazing lunch at Les Duex Salon and flirted with adventure. We popped into Kate Spade for a session of fashion drooling and oh.my.colour. Major inspiration. Adore the collaborative collection with Florence Broadhurst.

The eye-catching pops or pinks and oranges were amazing in the spring collection yet the blues and greens really stuck in my mind. During the wedding planning process so many brides opt for a more natural or soft array of colours (which we love, of course!) Navy is definately a colour that would be a great focus point. It can be coupled with rustic gold, purple, and white. It would make for a refreshing palette. *ahem, inspiration below*

a most definate 'yes!' to the shoes... oh, the shoes...
