Color Day: Kelly and Slate

Hope you all had a nice labor day! We sure enjoyed the time to relax, but now we're back for some special fall posts and even more real weddings and engagements. So, for today, here's a great color combo for fall or winter.  Slate gray is the new chocolate brown and, while we love chocolate brown, we love the updated, modern look of the cool gray even more. Here we have it paired with vibrant kelly green for a sophisticated feel. Be sure to tune in next week when we pair this slate gray shade with orange and yellow for a look that's just a bit more playful!

Color Day Themes: Fly Away with Us

Anyone out there share our wanderlust (and secret obsession with The Chipmunk Adventure movie)?  If so, this board is for you!  Riding in a hot air balloon is often thought of as romantic, but, as Jen learned first hand, it actually can be kind of awkward - think you, your lover, and the creepy balloon man.  Nevertheless, hot air balloons are amazing, whimsical and truly, truly beautiful to watch.  Plus, there is something extremely liberating about going wherever the wind takes you!

Color Day Themes: New Orleans Love

So, we're a little late, but we figured a Mardi Gras theme would be appropriate for this week's color day.  The festivities may have ended with the start of the Lenten season today, but that doesn't meant that you can't incorporate a similar theme into your party or event any time this year.  Carnival or Mardi Gras themes are festive and fun so break out the beads, put on your mask, crank up that jazz and bring and little of "The Big Easy" to your event.

Color Day: 24k

Ok, ok, we know at this point you're craving the sage greens, buttery yellows, and honeysuckle pinks of spring but, unfortunately, winter will linger around a little while longer here in the northeast.  Lately we've been focusing on the white wedding thing a lot, but what with all this snow and frigid weather we just cannot help ourselves. Embrace your inner snow queen with this elegant, modern board featuring crisp white and enough metallic gold make Midas swoon.

Color Day: Forest Green and Gold

Today's color day is inspired in part by Jen's Christmas tree, but really just the holiday season in general. Pine trees are majestic enough to begin with, but add twinkling white lights, delicate gold garland, and glittering ornaments and they transform into fabulously beautiful focal points for any room.  Forest green and gold are rich, warm, and regal colors not just for making a gorgeous Christmas Tree, but also for creating a luxe look for any holiday decor, dinner party, or winter wedding.

Color Day: Plum, Raisin, and Chocolate

Smooth, velvety chocolate... ripe, juicy plums...sweet, delicious raisins...have we got you salivating yet? Well, unfortunately for you we're not talking food here but at least we can provide a little eye candy.  This palette of chocolate brown, plum, and raisin is a lovely color combination for a modern fall wedding. It's gives a totally different feel then the usual "warm" fall colors like marigold, orange, and red, but still is cozy and comforting, just as fall should be. Purple is increasingly popular for weddings, decor, and wardrobes and, when paired up with rich chocolate brown, it's extremely charming and feminine.

Color Day: Black and Purple

Jen's back from vacation, and just in time for this week's color day!  Let's dig a little deeper into the holiday of the season and explore some excellent color combinations for Halloween themed or Gothic style weddings or parties.  Of course we'll do the traditional orange and black in the upcoming weeks, but before we get to that, we figured we could show you some other takes on Halloween that are sure to create a dark and down right spooky kind of event.  Orange isn't for everyone.  So if you love Halloween but sunshine orange makes you cringe, don't fret.  Purple is sexy and classy enough for the modern bride, but creepy and eerie enough to take the phrase "til death" to a whole new level.

Color Day: Chocolate, Brown, and Cream

When it comes to Fall decor, you can draw inspiration from so many different colors that it can be overwhelming.  If you want your home or event to evoke feelings of hot cider and comfy nights by the fireplace, think of natural neutrals like chocolate and cream blended with a nice medium toned brown. These calming hues flow perfectly into one another and can be used to create a sleek modern look or, if you're like us, you might prefer to embrace nature and create a rustic, charming, and cozy environment.  Using earth toned shades like these can really serve to create an inviting atmosphere without sacrificing style or drama and can look incredibly warm and romantic with the glow of candle light and gold accents.

Color Day: Green, Bronze, and Silver

Earthy colors like yellow, orange, burgundy, brown, and green are typically what comes to mind when you think of Fall colors. But, your Fall wedding doesn't have to be typical.  Choosing all of those colors together can tend to look tacky and juvenile and you certainly don't want your space to feel like you are swimming in a Crayola box. So, we suggest a more sophisticated way to incorporate Fall colors into your space.  For an elegant look, choose an accent color or two and pair it with neutrals or metallics.  Here we've taken a beautiful shade of green and paired with a warm metallic bronze and cool silver, lending to the overall feeling of calm and serenity. If you choose your colors carefully you'll find your space to be inspiring, not overwhelming.

Color Day Themes: Teacher's Pet (Red Delicious Apple)

Happy September, dolls!  Today's board is inspired by school tradition and the infamous "teacher's pet".  Being teacher's pet isn't easy; there's studying, class participation, and of course the time-honored tradition of presenting your teacher with "thoughtful gifts".  And, when it comes to gifts, there is nothing more traditional and formally ingrained in our minds than a ripe, red, perfectly polished apple. "Back to School" can remind you of a lot of things like paper bag book covers, pencil shavings, and plaid, but when you think of school and teachers and Fall and put it all together, you get a big juicy apple.  Luckily, here in New Jersey, we have an abundance of orchards! So, in September and October we can all flock to our nearest farm and pick our apples, which may be used to help get us to the head of the class, or better yet in pies, as place card holders, & as centerpieces. However you choose to use this fall favorite, incorporating apples into your Fall decor is a surefire way to get an A+ from us!

Color Day: Bejeweled Bliss

Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds, oh my! Jewel tones have a unique ability to add a sense of luxury and passion to any space, wardrobe, etc. Can't decide which to use?  Use them all! These regal shades flow together and compliment each other so nicely to create a sexy, sultry, naturally glamorous atmosphere. We think this rich and luxurious looking ensemble, inspired by your favorite gemstones, is fit for a queen and certainly for any Fall wedding or event.

Color Day: Rose/Blush Pink & Mauve

So, we're gearing up for Fall here at PDR. And, while we certainly have some more Summer fun in store for you, we can't help but be enticed by Fall color schemes.  Typically blush/rose pink is considered a spring color, but when placed next to mauve it has a very warm and cozy feel to it, perfect for those cool Fall nights.   Blush and mauve is one of the hot color combos for this year (according to www.theknot.com) so, here is an inspiration board to encourage you to try it out and give your own little twist to this trendy color combo this season.

Color Day Themes: Sunflowers!

We're doing color Wednesday a little different today.  When thinking of what colors to do this week, we decided it might be fun to try a motif or theme instead.  Many people to choose to theme their decor according to different seasons, areas around the globe, patterns, etc.  Today's Inspiration Board is based on a summer staple, the Sunflower!  Sunflowers always seem to have the power to liven things up and energize a space. There is a strange bit of happiness you feel when looking out at a sunflower field and you can't help but smile when you see their bright and cheery faces awaken to the morning sun.

Color Day: Peach and Seafoam

Summer in NJ is all about days relaxing on the beach, so here's a summer color board that would make Grandma proud!  Take a walk through Jen's grandma's house down by the bay and you'll find yourself overwhelmed with seafoam and peach. Throughout the space, from the couch to the wallpaper to the dining room table, and decorative elements, it is obvious that Grandma Dee is totally crazy for this color combo, and we can't blame her! These hues are soft and calming and are truly representative of beach elements like waves and coral.  They are cool and light and perfect for your summer wedding, party, or decor.

Color Day: Red, White, and Blue

Oh say can you see... an awesomely patriotic color board!?!



In a perfect world, this post would have gone up last week to inspire you for your July 4th parties, but alas, Eclipse swooped in and took over our posts.  But, just because our Independence Day is over does not mean that we should be any less patriotic!  So, here is a color day inspired by the stars and stripes on our grand ol' flag.  We're sure this theme would make our founding fathers' proud.

Color Day: Black, White, and Red

The newest Twilight movie comes out TODAY and we wouldn't be prepared for "Eclipse" without a vampire inspired color day! The covers of the Stephenie Meyer Twilight books all sport the same theme, black with bold white and red graphics.  Black and white can represent opposites, Jacob Vs. Edward or Good vs. Evil for example, and red is the color of love, anger, and, of course, blood.  Now, it's easy to incorporate these shades without going totally Dita Von Teese or having your friends and family thinking you've suddenly gone "goth". These are classic colors and nothing can ever compare to the elegance of simple black and white, think 007, tuxedos, pearls, little black dresses. Choosing red as your accent ensures your space, event, etc. has just the right amount of passion and drama.
