Maihar Inspiration Board: Multi-talented Marie

By , September 21, 2009 8:00 am

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.

Enchanting Erica – Our Tribute to Luscious Lilac

By , September 14, 2009 8:00 am

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!

A little bit of spiced wine and a dash of Lulu.This inspiration board is an enthusiastic salute to the girliest girls of all.

These shades of pink have spunk and personality with a dash of sophistication. For our fellow southern girls, we love the cowboy boot charm…accented in pink, of course!

Maihar Inspiration Board: Sweet Sami

By , August 31, 2009 8:00 am

It’s no secret Maihar designer Melanie Ford’s favorite color is pink. Although these colors always remind me of a certain “blush and bashful” scene from my favorite 80s movie, the combination below breaks the mold of “pink and pink,” mastering the definition of delicate and sweet.

With these shades in mind, pink is perfect in my book.
