Wedding colors seem to come in waves.  And about three years ago we were in the middle of a purple movement.  I got bored of the color really quickly as there seemed to be very little variation in shade, design and I even had two weddings in a row wearing the same bridesmaids dresses.  This royal Grimis hue was not causing my creative juices to thrive.

When Mattie and I began discussing her color scheme, I had a couple of flashbacks with she started talking about shades of amethyst.  But then she added dove grey and moody mauve and I got really excited.  She had this really sultry, in depth vision of pairing dramatic pewter and black accents against a classically soft spring color palette of lavender and lilac.  I certainly shouldn’t be surprised that Mattie had such impeccable tastes, she’s a wedding planner herself and has some gorgeous work in her portfolio (check out Spark & Wildflower).  I made the personal flowers and a topper for the cake and left the rest in Mattie’s very competent hands.  I simply loved how beautiful this wedding turned out.
