Another color palette that I’ve yet to tire of – I hope you still love it, too! Something about this inspiration board transports me to Paris… A mostly white and very pale gray background is accented with butter yellow and black. Stripes add a touch of whimsy: package favors in striped boxes, wrap your bouquet with a striped ribbon, decorate with classic striped hat boxes. Incorporate figs and blackberries into your floral elements for a touch of black that isn’t overly sleek or stark.
Mood: whimsical French chic
Palette: butter yellow, black, pale gray, white

Love this! Love the stripes! Another great board.
sooo sooo pretty :)
This is one of my favorites of yours in a while! I love, love, love it so much! Gorgeous! Did I mention I love it?
yay! these are my wedding colors and i’ve been in desperate need of inspiration, so THANK YOU! beautiful work!
Oh, I love this board! I’m also feeling the French style inspiration – I went for somewhat of a French vibe with my new blog header (although with pale pink instead of yellow). Lovely!
I think I always say this, but this board is one of my new favorites!
THANK YOU for doing my wedding colors again! Always makes me so happy – plus whenever people think I’m crazy for having yellow and gray together, all I’ve gotta do is send them to your site.
Nope, not tired of this palette! I love French themes, and this is perfect!
Fabulous
The hairpiece is divine, thanks for sharing! I’m loving the trend towards glamorous hair jewels!
I just looked through all of your boards and found many that I love, many that embody parts of my vision, and none that embody the element I most want. I am using a peacock theme for the rich color palette it offers. To be precise, I want to use plum, juniper, and olivine (David’s Bridal colors) as the main colors and build from there. If you get the chance I’d love to see how you would interpret this. Your boards are wonderful!
oooo…. I like it. The yellow totally adds a freshness to it. Your boards are so well put together. http://www.amountainbride.blogspot.com
gorgeous i especially love this one!
love french chic style
That flower hair piece is fabulous!
i love this board! such great combos! and yes, it makes me want to go to paris!
What is it about butter yellow, black, and white that make such a perfect color combo? Is it how striking black is against yellow? I love it so much but can never put my finger on what it is.
Oh, this is TERRIFIC!!! LOVE THESE.
