Natalie Galasso Designs: March 2011

Bold Metallics

Metals have become a staple into when describing ones color scheme. This particular mock up was inspired by an upcoming wedding who has chosen a few purple shades and each of her bridesmaids will be showcasing a different metal with their jewelry and shoes. Choosing a bold color like a purple will definitely make it pop and give a modern, artistic design to the event.

Peaches n' Cream

In honor of my favorite childhood Barbie Doll, Peaches n' Cream, I thought I would use that as the perfect way to describe some warm spring colors. These arrangements are so simple, delicate, feminine and fluffy and I decided to use a chocolate velvet ribbon with some orange pinning for the bouquet handle and an antique mini succulent to give the little arrangements a nice contrast. Peach is definitely my color for this year. I'm loving it paired with the warm hues of the browns and golds and also loving it with the grays!
I'm also introducing my palette swatch which every client is given that we create based on the theme and ideas discussed during our consultation. These actual colors are pulled from the arrangements displayed below.

Spring has Sprung!!

It's official. Spring is here which means so is wedding season! I've been so inspired by this coming seasons creative brides. There are so many creative color palettes and variety of design options each of my clients is bringing out. The trend of this year so far seems to be DETAIL and every bride is leaving nothing unfinished.
With enjoying a quiet winter adjusting to the new baby and working towards the planning of this year I was missing the feel of flowers in my hands. Impulse got the best of me so I had a shipment come in and decided to go to town! Happy Spring to everyone!
