A Non-Traditional Color Palate

I absolutely love color and have never shied away from it. As I type this I am wearing a persimmon colored top with a teal necklace (and accents of navy to tone it down).

Some of my favorite things to peruse on Pinterest are color combinations. I love to see how various people put unique colors together; it helps expand my horizons and get me thinking outside the box. One of the best sources for unique color combinations is floral arrangements. As I look back at my "Color Inspiration" board on Pinterest most of it consists of floral arrangements.

This past December, I was asked to design a bridal shower invitation. Wanting to steer clear of the predictable "Christmas-y" themes, I went on the hunt for the perfect color combination to base a design off of.

This is what I found.

Right when saw this image, I knew I wanted to base my design off of the colors. 

The color palate below is how I interpreted the colors in the floral arrangement, and what I used for my shower invitation design.

And the end result...
