Today's inspiration board features the sophisticated and unique peach and violet color combination.
Peach & Violet:
This color combo works so well because each color has a common ancestor (hints of red/pink), yet they evoke such different emotions. The peach is subtle, light, pastel, and romantic; at first consideration, it might seem better suited for a spring or summer event, but the implied fragility of the color makes it a great choice for the cooler fall and winter months, as well. Meanwhile, the rich depth of the violet is bold and regal, and acts as the perfect dark complement to the light peach.
The great thing about a peach and violet color combo is how easy it is to find flowers to match your colors. Peach roses are perfect for weddings and easy to come by; other options are lilies, hydrangeas, daisies, and carnations. There are even more choices for violet blooms: irises, larkspur, carnations, orchids, hydrangeas, violets, and lisianthus all come in beautiful purple shades.
And wouldn't this elegant color scheme be just as perfect for other romantic occasions? Use peach and violet to impress your guests at a Valentine's Day party or special anniversary dinner, too!
