Inspiration: Steel Blue & Fuchsia

This is a color palette from a wedding we photographed back in August, Elizabeth & Kevin at the New Haven Lawn Club. Click here to see our post about their day. Elizabeth selected classic tea-length bridesmaids dresses in steel blue (definitely something they could all wear again). To warm up the whole look, fuchsia was the perfect compliment to the steel blue, and created the perfect pop of color.


The gorgeous flowers were done by Jen at Fleur de Lys in New Haven. (www.fleurdelysfloral.com) The lighting and room décor were done by the incredibly talented Darin and his crew at the New Haven Lawn Club. ( www.nhlccatering.com) When you walk into the Lawn Club and see the vintage chandeliers and original fixtures, you feel like you have walked into a classic old-Hollywood mansion. And with all the flowers and lights picking up the steel blue and fuchsia color palette, there was no other word to describe the room… it was magical.

I’m loving putting together these inspiration boards! It’s so much fun to look back at some of our weddings and admire all the details and colors we’ve seen at weddings. We completely understand how much work it is to plan a wedding (we were there not too long ago ourselves). I remember one of the most amazing feelings was the first time we saw our reception room on our wedding day – to see it all together and perfect, it was incredible. That’s why I love these boards so much – a great way to give our couples a little touch of that feeling all over again.

We’d love your feedback – what do you want to see for our March board?
