You may have learned by now that I have a soft spot in my heart for unexpected color combinations. Today’s board was inspired by the photo in the top left - a whimsical garden palette of purple and white with hints of aqua and chartreuse.
Clockwise from top left: le souk via the style files, Love and Splendor, the Knot, Marisa Holmes via The Bride’s Cafe, Carrie Patterson via The Bride’s Cafe, Trista Lerit Photography, Kenzie Kate, A Little Sussy, Impressionen, Amy Squires Photography, Wisteria via White Aisle, the Knot
How cute is that puppy? His face just makes me giggle.
As is usually the case, after creating a board, you come across something completely perfect! These invitations by Laura Hooper are absolutely exquisite.
And this floral composition photographed by Kim Calakoutis would be amazing with this color scheme!
Love these shoes!

Other ideas for this color scheme?

I love it! My favorite color is purple and the bf’s favorite is blue, and I think this color combo would be a great way for us to use colors that we both love (instead of me running off with purple and hot pink…what a girly girl I am!)
I’m super pumped for your week of purple. A client just informed me yesterday we’re doing purple for their wedding, so I will be following along and saving inspiration for her.
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love this board! Every individual image is breathtaking! I love the color combination!
This makes me think of the Northern California coast. You can have a beach wedding with this, but it’s such an unexpected color combination.
You know girls, some fun weekly themes might be regions. Planning a wedding by region, etc. The Northwest, Southwest, California, Midwest, Northeast, East, Southeast, oh the possibilities! It could go on for weeks. You could plan a wedding for every state!
My wedding was all shades of purple, Tiffany blue, and black and white polka dots. It was fun and playful. I mixed in a little bit of hollywood glam for another spark of interest.
I absolutely love this color combination! It’s so fabulous!!
This is an fresh and amazing color combo! I would have never thought to pair chartreuse and aqua with purple.
Very unexpected combination! I like it! I showed it to my daughter who’s a purple fanatic and she just adores it!
Gorgeous!
that’s a great color combo!!
That color palette is so elegant. Shades of navy blue and gray are also great to match with purple.
It’s beautiful…most people are somewhat afraid to use bold colors but you can tone them down by pairing with a more muted tone as used here

Can you tell me more about those shoes? I love them!
I love this color combo! I am going to use this one for my wedding! And yes, more about those shoes. I would love to find them.
Yes! Please tell me where you found those shoes! I am getting married in March and haven’t had any luck on finding green shoes!
Hi there! Sorry for the delay. It appears that these are the shoes the bride is wearing in the board:

But they are sadly not sold any longer in that wonderful green. Hopefully they can be found on ebay!
The large shoe picture is of a pair of Christian Louboutins and I have seen them online on several blogs in several colors!
