Junebug’s Best Wedding Color Ideas – Blue, Red and Cream Mediterranean Inspired Wedding

July 20, 2011 | editorial team

This post was fun as it pulled wedding inspiration from an unusual source, and resulted in a simply stunning wedding color combination of Mediterranean influenced blue, red and cream. Originally published on May 16, 2008, this one’s a stunner!

While looking around for more inspirational images from famous fashion photographers, I was so excited to find the knockout portfolio of fashion and documentary portrait photographer Norman Jean Roy. I love the rich tones and the emotional depth in his photos, and couldn’t resist creating an inspiration board out of one of my favorites. Its saturated creams and blues sent me into wedding idea heaven, and I just had to add red to the color palette mix for that true eclectic Mediterranean feel.

Junebug’s Best Wedding Color Ideas – Cream and White Winter Wedding!

July 20, 2011 | editorial team

You just can’t go wrong with white for a wedding, which makes this post about white and cream winter wedding color ideas, originally published on December 12, 2008, another of our favorites…

With winter well under way in most of the country, I’m having visions of a winter wedding with a creamy white color palette, full of fabric texture, candle light, white on white patterns and delicate antique touches like vintage milk glass plates and serving dishes and pearl and cameo jewelry. A creamy dream!

Junebug’s Best Wedding Color Ideas – Blue, Gray and Red for a Rainy Day!

July 20, 2011 | editorial team

This was one of my favorite wedding color inspiration boards to put together because of the unique rainy day theme of the wedding! Originally published on May 15, 2009, the tranquil blue, gray and red color combination is just so nice!

The lovely bride-to-be and Junebug reader Charisse emailed me for a little help finding inspiration for her somewhat unusual wedding theme. Charisse and her fiance love the calm and quiet of rainy days and are hoping to plan a rainy-day themed wedding (regardless of the day’s actual weather!) with a blue-gray color palette that includes some splashes of Charisse’s favorite color, red. “I don’t want it to be depressing or dreary but very calm with an unexpected punch of red. Romantic, very romantic, and elegant with a little bit of bling.”

What a fun project this was pulling some ideas together! My focus with this inspiration board was incorporating natural elements like feathers, bird’s nests, branches, twigs and fern motifs to help bring the feeling of the outdoors, in. The soft blues and grays look like the sky on a cloudy day and keep everything feeling delicate, romantic and serene. Here you are Miss Charisse, enjoy…
