The masses have spoken! I've been paying careful attention to my Blogger statistics, and my posts about color combinations featuring inspiration boards are by far the most viewed and searched for - and I am all about giving the people what they want!
From now on, expect more inspiration boards. I'm also going to make it easier to find past blog entries - starting now, I'll only be posting one color scheme/inspiration board per post, so the titles will be more specific than "Fall Color Schemes #4. ;)
Today starts a series of eight autumn-inspired color combinations that I'll be posting over the next few weeks.
Honey & Mustard:
My husband loves honey mustard sauces and salad dressing. Like the sauce, this color combination is equal parts sweet and spicy. Use different shades of yellow to vary the mood - hints of brighter yellow to highlight certain parts of your decor (flowers, napkins, paper lanterns, wedding favors - whatever your favorite items are) and deeper golden yellows as the all-important paste to hold it together. Then, add notes of sugary honey as contrast to the yellow for a beautiful and sophisticated color combo.
This analogous color scheme shines most brightly when it's complemented by a variety of textures and shades. Dress your wedding party in different shades within this color family (like the ivory, honey brown, and mustard yellow bridesmaid dresses shown in the first picture in the second row), and mix and match your bouquets and flower centerpieces with different blooms, too. A varied collection of textures instantly feels like fall (think crunchy freshly-fallen leaves, fleece sweaters, and warm crocheted blankets), so play up texture wherever you can! :)
I love this color scheme because it's easy to work with and lends itself easily to certain decor and wedding favor ideas. Hang vintage gold or bronze keys, or don each reception table with a gold-framed photograph of the happy couple. Serve hot pretzels with mustard dips, and give each guest a small jar of honey to take home at the end of the night.
