All That Glitters is…Gold!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Metallics, especially gold, are one of the biggest trends in 2012 and I am completely in love with this trend!  If you want an elegant yet modern wedding, try pairing your wedding colors with gold.  So many colors look fabulous with gold and it instantly transforms a soft, neutral color palette in to a rich color story.

Gold is a not only a perfect accent to many different wedding colors but is best seen in the wedding details.  One of the first ways to give you guests a sneak peek in to your wedding is with your choice of invitation.  Gold letterpress invitations are a perfect choice when using gold!

Some bold brides are even choosing to wear gold wedding dresses.  Definitely not a for every bride but if you want to stand out, a gold dress will certainly do the trick!

If a gold wedding dress is a little too much for you, then try pairing your dress with gold shoes or accessories.

You can even carry a bouquet with gold accents!

Many brides are going all out and choosing a gold wedding cake.  At first I thought this might be a little over the top but I have to say I think it is so unique and interesting I just can’t help but love it!

Whether you choose a soft color palette like pink or choose a bold color like orange, gold is the perfect compliment!

Look how unbelievable gold looks with this chevron pattern (another 2012 trend)!?!

Tell us what you think about this 2012 metallic trend.  Like or dislike…we want to know!

Happy Planning!

Peach and Mint Wedding Colors

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Taking a page right out of the 1960’s, the soft colors of mint and peach go perfectly together for a retro inspired wedding.  I like this wedding color combination best for a vintage themed wedding. It may even go well for a southern themed wedding, especially for a wedding in Georgia (peaches and all :)) Peach and mint make for such a romantic color combination. If you like this color combination take a look at some of these inspiration photographs.

You can decide which color you want to be used more at the wedding….peach or mint.  Depending on the color you choose it will change the entire look of the wedding.

For a vintage wedding, use mint colored linens and peach flowers.

Look how awesome this mint cake looks?

I think the mint or the peach color bridesmaid dresses look beautiful. Especially when you pair it with the coordinating color for the accessories.

What do you think about this mint and peach wedding color combination?

Tangerine Tango: 2012 Color of the Year

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Pantone announced that Tangerine Tango is the 2012 Color of the Year and it is showing up everywhere in weddings!

I have to admit when I heard the color of the year I was a little disappointed (I have never been a huge fan of orange; red hair and all :)) but when I saw Tangerine Tango I instantly knew it would be a great color for weddings.  Tangerine Tango is much deeper than a traditional orange and can be paired with so many different colors and give a different feeling depending on the shade it is paired with.  You can also use Tangerine Tango in any season if it is paired with the right color.  Here are some of my favorite pairings with Tangerine Tango as well as some tips to using this 2012 Color of the Year.

Tangerine and Navy

Tangerine and Turquoise

Tangerine and Gold

Tangerine and Purple

No need to worry about bridesmaid dresses to match. The Dessy Group has bridesmaid dresses in Pantone’s actual colors.  You can even order chiplettes of the actual color to give to vendors for planning so they can match everything perfectly! So cool!

Are you having a Tangerine Tango wedding?  What do you think of the 2012 Color of the Year?

We would love to know!

Happy Planning!
