Spring Inspired Color Palettes

I have to admit, our team is pretty much over this cold weather. So while we cross our fingers hoping the end-of-month lambs replace the lions sooner rather than later, I'm taking refuge from the flurries by finding ideas and inspiration based on three beautiful spring palette combinations suggested in the latest issue of Brides magazine.

Peach and Gray

Lemon and Sky Blue

Lime and Pink

These combos work just as well at an indoor venue as outdoors and depending on the elements you choose, each palette is quite versatile: they can be very feminine, preppy, beachy, vintage, eclectic, or modern. 

They’re also extremely mix-and-matchable: Gray and yellow are still a very trendy, yet classic, pairing. Sky blue and lime is fun, while peach and pink would be very romantic and feminine. Yellow and pink could be punchy, gray and lime could be sophisticated with touches of bright foliage, while sky blue and peach could evoke a sunrise/sunset.

For more inspiration based on these palettes and others,take a look at our spring color and color me pretty boards on Pinterest.

Custom cake ornaments

There are various ways of preserving the memories of your wedding: high-quality photographs and videos, drying your bouquet, or framing your invitation are just some of the classic options.


If you’re looking for something a little different, try commissioning a custom miniature version of your wedding cake. Aberrant Ornaments creates scaled-down versions of your confection (based off of images you send) and you receive a personalized souvenir of your special day.


Each ornament is hand-sculpted from clay, then hand-painted and sealed. The intricate details of your cake are meticulously replicated and the piece includes a loop at the top so you can hang it like an ornament or display it on a flat surface.


The ornament makes a great wedding gift, but would also be lovely for an anniversary or a couple’s first holiday together. Here are a few examples of their work:
