Light Blue, Purple, Graphite Gray – Hydrangea Wedding Inspiration

Fresh as spring! I adore hydrangea flowers. Perfectly paired with a vintage wisteria purples, graphite gray and light blue colors make a fabulous wedding theme!

The first two photos in the right corner are from The Knot. The boutonniere by Visual Lyrics Sculpting Nature Into Art. Boutonniere photo by Forever Photography – Picture it Forever”. The brilliant bridesmaid bouquets by Newberry Brothers Greenhouse and florist, Denver, Colorado. Bridesmaid bouquet photo by Paige Eden Photography, Denver, Colorado. The bouquets feature hydrangeas, freesia, white peonies and a pale blue satin ribbon wrapped around the stems. The hand painted watercolor hydrangea wedding invitation design by My Personal Artist of course. The bridesmaid dress is from Priscilla of Boston, Vineyard STYLE 1504 in the color lapis. The hydrangea wreath is from Martha Stewart Weddings. The perfect hydrangea cake is from ‘Jillicious Desserts’ in Oregon phone (541) 929-5435.

IMPORTANT design note: I would certainly carry over the DELIGHTFUL bridesmaid bouquet flower combo throughout your wedding decor (center pieces, cake, wreath, etc.)! Hydrangeas, freesia, AND white peonies! NOT just hydrangeas.

Tandem Bike! Fun retro themed wedding idea!!

I just love the idea of a Bicycle Built for Two wedding theme! How much fun. After I saw this bride and groom I put on my brakes and I just had to marry their photo by Duston Todd Photography with my brand new Bicycle Built for Two original watercolor wedding invitation design!

The closest Pantone(R) color matches {by viewing on a computer screen} are:
Warm Red 704
Retro Blue 5405
Black

Featuring custom TANDEM BIKE wedding invitations by MyPersonalArtist.com.

I choose this dress from Melissa Sweet Style MS223 in french blue because of the metallic nature, matching the paint on the tandem bicycle built for two! The delicious bicycle built for two cookies are made by Jen Comfort of She Takes the Cake in New York! Yum!

I hope you take this ‘Tandem Bicycle’ theme for a ride! Enjoy! And have fun.

Awww! I just love this fun tandem bike motif! After I painted it I blurted out “Weeeeee!”. The hand painted motif sets this bicycle for two invite apart from the others! Note the response choice of “Wheel look forward to it!” on the reply card. Unique and Fun! Enjoy this wedding invitation for your special day!

In this inspiration board, I wanted to convey how to have a butterfly theme wedding without going overboad on butterflies. Soft, elegant vintage and what a wonderful outdoor wedding this would be! Pink, Mauve, Champagne … This vintage color scheme is perfect!

I absolutely LOVE the magical OUTDOOR FEEL this inspiration board holds. Notice the details of the TREE, LAKE and DOCK in the hand-painted ‘Lakeside Wedding’ invitation!

If you found me quoted in a magazine regarding wedding color trends / combination, then you know I dedicate my ‘spare’ time researching wedding color trends a year in advance. Since 2001, I’ve been helping brides with their wedding color decisions by displaying color trend swatches and ideas on my website.

I was TRULY delighted with my findings this morning! The 2011 year in color will be BRIGHT and amazing! As shown above, tropical, fun and whimsical!

Apple green, mauve, lilac, hot pink, slate grey, celadon, aged gold, coral, red, violet purple, mocha / chocolate / brown, navy, emerald / pine green / dark cyan, clementine orange, and yellow.

What is your favorite color in this palette?

I am so excited to finally show you this hand painted black and white floral invitation design I created! As you may know, I have been hand painting wedding invitations and hand illustrating invitation motifs for over 11 years. This black and white simple floral invitation design is different than my norm. However, I love the elegance it carries! Truly unique!

I can imagine this invite in a sangria or teal color also! The possibilities are endless. View Black and White Wedding Invitations pricing >
