When it is 33 degrees at night in Northern California – it’s official – winter has arrived! In keeping with a pastel color theme, I had so much trouble narrowing down the images for this week’s post that I decided to throw them all together. I can’t get enough of the soft colors of dove gray and pale peach with a few pops of color, be it yellow, fuchsia or bright baby blue. I get the feeling of a cold crisp sunny day, where you can see your breath, and everything is awash in a bright glow. A little ethereal, a little magical, and perfect for wedding details.

I’ve never been very good at color combinations. I love colors but when it comes to creating a palette that I could work with, I go crazy with all the choices and end up clueless on how to create a palette that won’t clash. I’ve also loved strong colors but somehow, it’s a reach for me to combine romance, fuchsia, and purple…which are my current favorites. Your inspiration boards are indeed giving me inspiration! Thanks for the help. 🙂
Pretty! I particularly love the matchbook shots – I loved collecting them at restaurants all the time (less so now for obvious non-smoking law reasons – but I digress) 🙂 Love the board!!
Gorgeous job Trisha! Loved every last detail!
I LOVE these photos…and I recognized the cake shot right away as Elizabeth’s work, which is so gorgeous! Such a great collage of images and such beautiful design and color palette!
