DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 29: PLACID BLUE

Blue is one of those universally appealing colors, especially when it comes to weddings, so I was excited to take on day 29 of the Full Circle Eventi design challenge: Placid Blue.

It's another one of Pantone's colors and I decided to pair it with 3 other shades of blue, ranging from pale to navy, creating an ombre effect. There's something very calming, but also cheery about using these shades together, and I don't think you can go overboard with it either.

I love the idea of mismatched bridesmaid dresses - different shapes and styles in all different shades of blue - it creates a fresh, modern look, and it's still cohesive to the overall vision. Even the bride has a bit of blue at the bottom of her gown - that gown - ah, love. 

The escort cards are perfectly written out on mini cards and attached to the wall, while tinted glassware, china, and flatware adorn each place setting. Big blue and white blooms cover the ceremony arch, while the invitation suite, and even the cake get a splash of the multiple blue shades.
