A relaxed, bohemian microwedding surrounded by the vibrant hues of nature at Morgantown’s West Virginia Botanic Garden provided the perfect backdrop for the couple’s unique style and commitment to an environmentally-friendly wedding.
Move over, dusty rose and terracotta! 2024 is all about embracing a softer, sweeter hue: Peach Fuzz, the Pantone 2024 Color of the Year. Peach Fuzz also blends effortlessly with a variety of styles; it is perfect for any season and goes with any color palette! You can mix it with brights, neutrals, earthy tones or pastels — your imagination is the limit.
According to Pantone, Vivid Magenta represents “reveling in pure joy,” “encourages experimentation and self expression without restraint,” “welcomes anyone and everyone with the same verve for life and rebellious spirit. It is a color that is audacious, full of wit and inclusive of all,” and finally, “whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration.” All of these are qualities that I try to bring out in Bespoke & Beloved couples’ weddings. Here are some great ways to use this pinky-red color in your wedding design.
Everybody makes a big deal out of Pantone’s color choice every year, but there are a bunch of other companies that select a color of the year. Here are a few, along with examples of how you might incorporate each of them into your wedding.
According to Pantone, Veri Peri promises “to bring joy as the 'happiest and warmest of all the blue hues,” and who doesn’t want that at their wedding? I actually like this color, as I haven’t seen too much of it here in Pittsburgh, but it can be a hard color to use in a wedding. Here are some great ways to use this unique periwinkle color in your wedding design, whether you want it as the main color or as an accent pop.
In a move that is so totally 2020, Pantone bucked tradition by naming not one, but two colors of the year for 2021 — Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. At first glance, these colors seem a little faded and lack-luster, especially after the rich, saturated pops of Classic Blue and Living Coral, but I am really excited about these two colors because they are so incredibly versatile!
This year, Pantone selected Classic Blue as its Color of the Year, calling it timeless, enduring, reassuring, thought provoking, restful, reflective, and elegant in its simplicity. Here are some ideas for incorporating Classic Blue into your wedding.
As part of our workshop series, The Fine Art Wedding Workshop, Jenn Marie Wedding Photography and Bespoke & Beloved Events wanted to highlight boudoir photography as a part of the wedding photography and styling. We knew that, like the ballet, we wanted to have a white and a black swan; and I knew that I wanted an overt nod to ballet for this shoot with a leotard-style body suit and a romantic white lace bralette and panty, that I accessorized with pointe shoes, tutus, and feather accents.
Boudoir celebrates the beauty of now. Who we are, in this moment, the strengths and the flaws. I want to talk a little about a few myths about the practice and why I think that it is far more than racy photos or anything else its detractors might call it. And, why I recommend it to my wedding clients as more than just a present to their significant others.
Labor day has come and gone, the kids are back in school and the stores are full of fall decorations. This fun bright colored wedding shoot is a last gasp of summer before we truly turn to the glories of fall. May all these bright colors give you the feeling of summer, freedom from schedules, vacations, and fun in the sun.
Pantone announced its 2019 Color of the year this week, as it does every December, and the wedding industry is buzzing about the selection. I think the key to using Living Color in up-coming weddings is going to be to use it strategically as an accent color with other statement colors that keep it from falling too far into the overdone and cliched realm.
