If you’re just joining us, today we’re talking about transitioning your color palette throughout the seperate events of your wedding day – to make each event new and exciting, but still cohesive, building up the richness of tones for the most impact. Such a fun idea, right?
Okay, so just to recap, we are working with a palette of Raspberry, Eggplant and Ivory.
For the ceremony, we started in the center of this palette – lots of ivory with a hint of what’s to come later at the reception (the raspberry and eggplant tones).

For the cocktail hour, I still like to keep things fresh and light, so sprinkling in some lavendar and light pinks would be gorgeous.

Now, the reception is really where the “wow factor” comes in – the build up of the color palette really pops as guests enter the dinner space, and the raspberry and eggplant tones really deepen.

What do you think? Do you like the transitioning color? Is this a trend that you love?

Wow. What an ingenuitive idea! It goes along with keeping the party moving from room to room, or focal point to focal point. It creates interest and intrigue, and is absolutely a conversation starter. I am definitely going to use this idea in my own wedding next May. Thanks so much.
