Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do we decide between a soft palette like Sage and Cream versus a high-contrast scheme like Emerald and Ivory?

A: We always suggest looking to your venue’s existing architecture and light. A sun-drenched conservatory is the perfect canvas for the 'gentle exhale' of Sage and Cream, while grand, historic spaces often demand the 'striking harmony' and depth of Emerald and Ivory to feel appropriately luxurious.

Q: Can we use 'autumnal' shades like Burnt Orange and Burgundy for a spring or summer celebration?

A: Absolutely. In 2026, we are encouraging couples to shed seasonal expectations. These 'sumptuous' jewel tones create a magnificent, moody counterpoint to the vibrant greens of a summer garden, making your design feel intentional and daring rather than strictly seasonal.

Q: How can we incorporate metallic accents like Rose Gold or Silver without them feeling dated?

A: The secret lies in subtlety and texture. Instead of large reflective surfaces, we recommend using these metals as 'gleaming accents'—think delicate Rose Gold foil on heavy cardstock or Silver threads woven through linen napkins—to add a shimmer that feels ethereal rather than industrial.

Q: What is the best way to introduce a bold anchor color like Midnight Blue without overwhelming the space?

A: We love using Midnight Blue as a sophisticated backdrop. By keeping the foundation dark—perhaps through velvet linens or draped fabric—you allow your accent colors, like Rose Gold or Eucalyptus, to truly 'dance' and pop, creating a visual tension that is both refined and contemporary.

Q: How do we ensure a monochromatic green palette like Sage and Eucalyptus doesn't look flat in photos?

A: Texture is your best friend when working with tonal schemes. We achieve depth by layering different botanical finishes—the silvery-matte of eucalyptus against the 'cream silk' of ribbons—to ensure the palette feels like a 'healing garden' with plenty of movement and life.
