Color Collage Revisited

Since we're on the theme of colors, I made a fun little collage with elements from my wedding. I'm finding it's a lot easier to post illustrations for the blog since I have all my wedding pictures ;-) .

Along the way, I couldn't get the "perfect" raspberry color, but the lovely watermelon/honeysuckle/deep pink that evolved was beautiful. True raspberry has a little touch of red. The final palette came down to the pink coral, orange, "raspberry" and gold as an accent. To make things better people actually heeded the invitation! People wore the wedding colors, so when I looked over the guests during the ceremony I saw bursts of color. It was even more fun to see on the dance floor.

Forward Thinking

So it turns out my color palette was ahead of it's time! Check out Pantone's color of the year, "Honeysuckle" and the palettes used for it. Especially, the wedding ones. It seems people are keen on mixing it with orange... Feel free to thank me for boosting your wardrobe ;-)
