Fall Wedding Inspiration – The Warm Colors of Fall :: Red and Green

August 7, 2008 by Tabitha

As mentioned last Friday, I asked several industry friends to create an inspiration board to be featured here this week for our fall wedding inspiration series. I wanted to see what each of them could come up with using the same inspiration picture – a bouquet of hellebores. Today’s fall inspiration board is by my fabulous friend and mentor, Terrica. Following is a short bio and in her words, a summary of her inspiration board.

Summary of Inspiration Board

Attempting to design with red and green can be frustrating as you try to void the “Christmas” look. By using varying shades of reds and greens (clarets, forest, garnet, chartreuse, etc.), you can create a unique harmonious look. The earthiness of the branches in the inspiration picture inspired me to incorporate some brown as well as go with a non-traditional ganache cake. The richness of the colors played well in the linen choices, which also helped to avoid the holiday look. Using this same palette and clean design is also a great way to have an elegant Christmas wedding without increasing the tacky factor.
