Color trends

Those of you who know me, know I've been preaching color in weddings, especially receptions, for years. But what I'm seeing since last year and expanding on this year w/ my brides are some beautiful shades in the yellows and oranges. Colors like persimmon, mango and saffron...

In June, ART & SOUL helped a Florida bride and groom have a big time w/ a ceremony and reception at the Club at Las Campanas followed by an afterparty at the Hotel Eldorado, with all events punctuated by scads and scads (literally hundreds and hundreds) of Big Fun roses, huge saucer-sized roses in varigated peachy pinks and yellows. Watch for photos, I promise to bring the website up to date w/ the weddings of 2007.

Until then, photos can be viewed in the Markow/deJesus published album on www.insightfoto.com

An upcoming courtyard wedding will utilize Mango and Treasure calla lilies.


The color saffron, a rich, deep golden yellow inspired by Indian silks is another shade ART & SOUL has been asked to explore for an autumn wedding.

Other trends we're seeing is mixing metals (copper and pewter, silver and gold) and as always... texture, texture, texture, whether in hobnail votives, a fabulous dupioni silk or using a damask overlay over a silk lamour.

Big news according to Premier Bride Magazine and consultants throughout the country...cool grey is hot, hot, hot.
