We enjoyed the Sonoma theme so much that we decided to offer an alternative approach to the Sonoma wedding theme. Our second inspiration board is Cobalt Blue, Orange and Yellow – a color palette that can be inspirational any time of the year.

The first, and most obvious thought, of a Sonoma-inspired wedding is having the ceremony and/or reception at a vineyard. Beyond the location, there are many ways to bring capture the essence of Sonoma and to bring this fantastic location to your wedding – whether it’s in Alaska or Florida.
Our first Sonoma-inspired inspiration board brings together the calm, cool colors of nature. Combining the outdoor vineyard green with a teal and turquoise palette infuses a casual elegance into your wedding. Since Sonoma has a rustic, rural feel, we’ve also selected decor which highlights this setting.
Wedding accessories and fashion are captured in the first image. The juxtaposition of chic modern accessories with the beauty of outdoor photos quickly captures Sonoma’s outdoor charm.

Shades of greens and blues complement one another for the reception decor. From the use of grosgrain ribbon in the photo collage foliage to the simple flora surrounding the vases – these elements might seem understated in a large ballroom, but are perfect for the casual, elegant atmosphere of Sonoma.

Yellows continue to be extremely popular this wedding season. Everywhere I look, there are combinations of colors with shades of yellow. The Amy Ring Bearer Pillow takes a different approach, though, with monochrome black and white, dazzled with a splash of Canary.
For ladies who are spunky but not quite a “pink” lady, this inspiration board is perfect for you. We’ve combined the elegance of black and white, with punches of yellow to create excitement and a feminine flair sans pink. Yellow is quickly becoming my new favorite color!

Although every girl loves to stand out with that one defining look and signature style, never underestimate the power of a chameleon. We have tried to create certain pillows within our line that are adaptable to a variety of fun color palettes, and at the same time allow for a bit of personalization and extra sass. We hope that Marie can be just that for your wedding.
Here is our tribute to some possible personalities of one of our favorite leading ladies…
Navy, Turquoise and Canary:
We LOVE this fun and flirty combination. Throw a canary splash on top of Marie and she is the perfect compliment to this energetic palette – which can be equally appreciated by both the bride and groom!

Hot Pink, Cotton Candy, and Mustard:
We have added a bubblegum splash to Marie so she may join this fabulously romantic and lighthearted theme! A perfectly sweet and charming Summer palette, for the girly girl within us all.

Although she often plays second fiddle to the glory of her ever popular sister, Pink, there is something magical about this lighthearted and feminine shade of purple. Always lovely, she is the perfect alternative to the traditional color scheme.
Mixed with a dash of tangerine, coral or the softest sage green, your palette is sure to impress. So go ahead and embrace the underdog…we dare you!
