At A Touch of Bliss we take inspiration from so many parts of life and often look to fashion trends to find interesting ways to incorporate style into our weddings.  Emerald green has been seen all over the recent runways and was just named as the Pantone 2013 Color of the Year.  As wedding planners, we are always looking for what s new and fresh and we are loving all the ways that this could translate into our arena!  So many people think to incorporate red, silver, blue, and gold into their winter color palettes, but what about a bold splash of dark green?  Here are some of our current sources of emerald inspiration and ways we are so excited that this could be conveyed through wedding details. Enjoy!

The translation to weddings:

Glamorous weddings will always be in style, but this year couples are finding their inspiration for their big day by simply walking outside and using the nature surrounding them.

This season consider an old rustic barn or a lush meadow and to add a touch of chic-beauty, hang glass chandlers. Warm browns and tans, and all shades of greens with pops of colors are sure to make your wedding both rustic and beautiful!

Here is a sneak peek at the inspiration board for Nicole and Rocky’s Wedding in August. We love this color palette – so rich and fresh! We are so looking forward to their wedding this season!

Worthington Photography shot this amazing Southern wedding of Jill and Todd in Virginia. The crisp palette colors of pear green, summer blues, and white really set the stage for a romantic southern wedding. It gives us such inspiration! Congrats to the Bride and Groom!
