With daffodils and tulips blooming everywhere, it’s easy to be inspired by spring’s sunny disposition. Golden hued yellow is such a lovely color palette choice, whether you keep it clean and bright, pairing it with crisp white, or whether you like a more amber color paired with stormy grays.

Spring is peeking through in pale blue skies and soft pink and yellow blooms, so naturally we have pastels on the brain. A pastel palette works beautifully when one hue is paired with a bolder color or a metallic, or go ultra-femme and group your pastels with lace.

With warmer weather just around the corner, we’re thinking pretty spring picnics. So today we’re bringing you gingham inspiration. From the quaint picnic blanket to the elegant wedding tablescape, gingham can be just the right print to mix in to your color palette.

Sometimes it’s best to return to what is simple, what is pure. And elegant white blooms can do no wrong in our opinion. With an all-white bouquet or table arrangement, it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase various textures and greenery. Whether you’re adding in lots of color elsewhere or keeping your palette all ivory, white florals are just gorgeous.

Spring is almost here and flowers are just beginning to bud, but until things are in full bloom, winter citrus is a beautiful way to dress up a tabletop, bouquet, or cocktail with a punch of pretty color. We used kumquats and citrus poppies for an event last weekend!

Would you dare wear a gray wedding gown? This elegant alternative to white can be a refreshing choice for the modern bride. Even those with the most classic taste are finding a bit of moody romance in this silvery hue. A touch of tulle, a satin sash, or a peek of lace – all are lovely in a subtle shade of gray.

Emerald is Pantone’s 2013 Color of the Year, and we couldn’t be more pleased. There’s something completely sophisticated and luxurious about this deep green hue. We love it paired with navy and gold or with contrasting shades of pale aqua and seafoam.

It’s easy to be inspired by all the beautiful evergreens gracing hearths and bringing cheer to doorways. Evergreens are a classically elegant detail to incorporate into tablescapes or to attach to escort cards. Add a sprig to a boutonniere or slip one into a napkin ring, and you’ll not only add beauty but also a pretty delightful aroma.

We simply loved this wedding! With a beautiful ceremony by the water, cocktails mingling throughout Lowndes Grove, and a Sperry tent on the front lawn, it was a perfect evening. There is something so timeless and charming about a palette of pale blue and cream for a late summer wedding. We are lucky to work with such amazingly talented people. The incredible team at Patrick Properties & Fish delighted our guests with a delicious low country meal. The floral wizards at Stems blew us away with their jaw-dropping ceremony arch and splendid arrangements. We adore the floral and lace wedding cake by Jim Smeal and the beautiful printed suite by the Lettered Olive. And many thanks to Blossoms Events who installed a gorgeous custom dancefloor! We are so delighted to have our office in Charleston and these stunning photos by Jen Fariello reinforce why!
