Our Colors. Finally.

April 10th, 2009 @ 2:55 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

After I posted about my two color palette options (yellow/brown/cream/white or peach/dusty rose/pink/white/gold), I was going back through some of my posts and came across a comment from the lovely Miss Glitter. She passed along a link that encompassed both of my color scheme options in harmony (something I hadn’t even thought about). I was completely inspired by what she sent along—golds, blushes, wheat, peaches, and creams. The board was built around the golden hills of California, which I love because I’m from there. To me, these colors felt like home.

To find more inspiration like this, I went up to Snippet & Ink’s search engine and typed in various shades from this picture one at a time to find other inspiration boards with similar tones: “blush”, “wheat”, “gold”, “almond”. This one popped up, which I loved for its richness.

I’m no longer finding specific colors for our color scheme. I’m going to use these two images to help me make decisions, and go from there. Our palette will look something like this: blush, dusty rose, peach, cream, white, gold, wheat and taupe. And I am perfectly happy with its many variations. Plus, Mr. Cowboy Boot likes it too!

Did you find specific colors to work with or were you open to having variation in the mix?

I like that idea. We are going with navy and white, but I’m open to similar shades as well.

Our colors are lavender & poppy, but honestly, those are just for accents. getting married in the wilderness means natural colors rule, ultimately :)

I hear you on the homey feel of the first board! Great choice! I totally miss the rolling oak-tree filled hills of the central coast!

I love your colors! Subdued gold, coral, dusty pink… In the world of bold, bright colors, I think this is very unique and chic! I really like all your posts (beautiful save-the-dates by Sarah Parrott!) - can’t wait to see your wedding!
