plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

I have a lot of favorite colors.  I’m the girl who cannot pick just one.  I have an even bigger obsession with color combos.  This is why during my own planning process I struggled with colors, from Yellow and Gray, to Red, Orange and Gray.

So, of course I love one of the new invites in Kenzie Kate’s collection:

There is something so fresh and modern about that navy blue and green together.  Yet it has somewhat of an updated traditional feel to it.

Are there any color combos that just make you swoon?

With Christmas just 6 days away, I wanted to share this great green palette I found on Flights of Fancy – one of my favorite blogs to find great color inspiration.

This palette uses great shades of green with a hint of silver.  Definitely a classic combo.

One of my favorite colors, by far.

The Perfect Palette features fun and inspiring color palettes to help you plan your wedding (or any event for that matter).  I’ve plugged the site before in the past, so I cannot help but feature them again when I find great color combos (or just ones that I personally love).

Enter, Candy Apple Red and Snow White:

I love this combo for many reasons, but one of them is that they are GREAT winter colors without being too cliche.  The mix of red and white adds good contrast.  Now, you can overdo it with this combo, so be sure to be tasteful with your choice of elements.  Use mostly white with just hints of reds here and there.  It’s a chic way to add touches of fun and class.

Completely in love with the idea of brides “making a change” between the ceremony and reception.  Either in the form of switching to a shorter dress, or in the form of an accessory.

This bride wore a great taupe-colored belt with her gown for her ceremony.

And, she changed into a black belt for her reception. It’s such a small detail, but it can really make a difference, or leave an impression on guests.

This takes trash the dress to a whole new level.

(Yes, that is pink paint).

She rocked her session and props to her for doing this to her gown! I know not many brides would be game for this, but she was all in!

It’s always great when a bride takes a risk and it turns out beautifully.

AND, the bride is selling the dress (which has chic white buttons down the back) to any takers!

For any of you black and white brides out there, one of you should wear this dress.

Love the modern, sculpted bodice, and how chic this overall look is.

This would also be good for any of you winter brides.

PLUS, this dress is only $245.  That’s a steal if you ask me…

Although, I somewhat cringe at the sight of kelly green (I can’t help it, they were my high school colors).  I really love the freshness of this table set up and the palette.

The green with the stark white really pops – which is great. The last thing a bride would want is for her decor to fade out with the table linens. Plus this is a great case of “all you can get are white linens, how do you incorporate color?”

Love this color combination for a winter wedding, as featured on Flights of Fancy.

The colors are a great balance of winter-y hues. The combo is a great early Spring choice as well!

It’s color day at the Landlocked Bride. Stay tuned for another great combo this afternoon!

I definitely love a red, white and blue wedding.  Nothing to do with patriotism, red and blue are just two of my favorite colors, and I absolutely love them together.  I especially love when a bride (or groom) does it right, like this Australian one.

It is fantastic when the details are so well thought out. The bride placed photos of her grandparents in little blue frames and strung them from her bouquet on blue ribbon.

The navy and the red just make me swoon. They are such classic colors! And the guys’ blue suits with the striped shirts? Ahh! So great!

And, I can think of one lovely American bride who also did red, white in blue in such a fantastic way.
