Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do we ensure our chosen palette feels cohesive across different mediums like stationery and florals?

A: We view your color palette as the 'design thread' of the day; we recommend selecting one primary 'hero' shade and using the others as sophisticated accents. By varying the intensity of these tones across velvet linens, letterpress stationery, and organic botanicals, you create a layered look that feels curated rather than matched.

Q: Can we adapt a traditionally 'moody' palette, like emerald or navy, for an outdoor summer celebration?

A: Absolutely, though we suggest adjusting the textures to suit the light. To make deeper tones feel summer-appropriate, we pair them with airy fabrics like silk or fine linen and introduce crisp white or metallic gold accents to reflect the sun and maintain an elegant, breezy atmosphere.

Q: Should our palette be strictly dictated by the season of our wedding?

A: While we draw deep inspiration from the natural cycle, your palette should ultimately reflect your personal aesthetic. We often use seasonal elements as a grounding foundation—such as harvest tones in autumn—while weaving in unexpected 'counter-seasonal' pops like fuchsia or azure to create a look that is uniquely yours.

Q: How do we choose a palette that feels modern but won't look dated in our gallery ten years from now?

A: The key to a timeless aesthetic is balance; we suggest grounding vibrant or trendy colors with classic neutrals like ivory, slate, or champagne. By keeping the core architectural elements of your design neutral and reserving 'bold' colors for transient details like florals and ribbons, you achieve a sophisticated look that transcends fleeting trends.

Q: Does our color palette choice impact our floral budget or availability?

A: It can, as we always strive to work with the season's most premium blooms for the best visual impact. If you've set your heart on a specific shade, such as cherry blossom pink in the winter, we may need to source specialty imports, so we recommend a palette that allows for some botanical flexibility to ensure the freshest possible arrangements.
