INSPIRATION: CORN FLOWER BLUE + MELON

The Spring 2013 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, on stands now, features a color pairing that can warm up a room or cool it down; be bright and modern, or vintage and romantic. The pretty combination of cornflower blue and melon looks beautiful in flowers, on flavors, and everything in between! I simply ADORE this color combination and I wanted to share a few of my favorite images from the Spring issue with you today.

Lovely inspiration from table settings and food, to invitations and flowers, and even a gown for the rare bride who dares to wear a non-white dress, these colors offer endless versatility for a creative palette. Beyond weddings, these colors are perfect to inspire any warm-weather celebration! Let’s check out all the prettiness and I hope you all have your issue of MSW….as always, it’s filled with tons of beautiful inspiration for your big day…Enjoy!!
