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.
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!
Ever wondered what your wedding colors say about you? Well, Paper Source wants you to know!
In love with this color combo. But really, I love the look of teal with oranges and reds. So refreshing.
Love this color combo as featured on With This Ring. It was wonderful tones for a Fall wedding, but could easily be used in the Spring or Summer if you are looking for a ‘not so bold’ color palette.
The greens have a grey undertone (and we all know how much the Landlocked Bride loves grey), so it would pair well with black and greys, but they are warm enough that they would also pair well with khakis/tans/browns. And, talk about some fun floral ideas. Purple calla lilies would be great!
I’m really feeling this subdued color combo, as found on bash eco-events. It’s a great color palette for the not-so-flashy bride, and can even be spruced up with lighter shades of color like pink, blue, yellow or orange (and others, too). Not only that, but the colors could go along for any season wedding.
It’s a trend breaking on to the scene, and definitely a good one. There will always be a large percentage of brides-to-be that will prefer a gown in the white palette (white, off-white, cream, ivory), but there are a growing number of brides wanting something more fun or reflective of their true personality. Long gone is the idea that a bride MUST wear white on her wedding day. Some brides add a touch of color with a colored sash or trim, but the new trend is a completely colored gown.
And, I love, love the idea of a colored gown (I’m a champagne or grey fan, myself). But, the colors don’t just stop there. Recently, I stumbled upon this post where the bride wore a light blue gown (which would be perfect for a winter wedding).
Rose, dusty rose and pale purple are colors that have been showing up more prominently in high-end designers’ collections, like this one in Vera Wang’s.
And, how can I forget this J.Crew lovely, featured earlier in the week on the blog? I love the grey, which would be a dress perfect for any season.
Swoon. Definitely would have considered that J.Crew dress if grey were one of our colors!
I am completely in love with this color red. I’m not tots (for you “I Love You Man” movie fans) a fan of the design (it’s very pretty, though), just a little too traditional for me.
I think using colored envelopes or even colors within your invitation suite is a fun idea and a great way to incorporate a splash in your wedding. White is classic, but red is fun!
The FI and I are going back and forth between orange envelopes and chocolate brown ones.
Why not red, you ask? You’ll find out in due time.
These brightly colored macaroons would be a fantastic addition to any candy buffet.
As much as I know there are plenty of brides out there who like to keep their wedding colors muted, I urge you brides out there to have fun with it. Pick a little color and be bold! Sure, wear your white dress, but add fun splashes of color like those delicious macaroons.
And, now I’m hungry.
