New Bouquets

Last spring,  I picked up some fabulous crepe paper colors at a shop in the Bay Area. The rolls have been sitting in a pile on my shelves ever since,  and finally this week I pulled them down and did some experimenting with the new paper.

One of the rolls was an ombre that bleeds from a pale cream to a rich pink.  I loved having a large range of tones to work with - it makes more dimensional and realistic blooms.

I picked up a few metallics too, which I love for leaf accents and flower centers.

I found a few bold colors, too.  I don't get much of a chance to work with stronger colors, as most brides I work with prefer more timeless, neutral tones.   I do love playing with color,

2014 brides, what are your thoughts on color?  Have you decided on your palette yet?

Neutrals? Pastels? Bolds?  Monochromatic? Tone-on-tone?  High contrast?

I would love to hear what you're thinking!

I'm going with neutrals mixed with some pale pink accents for my April wedding.
