When we interviewed the fabulous Maya from Tiffanys by Maya (Maya Couture), she mentioned that Olive and Gold would be a bridal color trend for 2008. 

Our intern, Betsy, has competed her term with us but left us with this inspiration board - LOVE IT!

As Isha mentioned in an earlier post, yellow/gold is a really hot color right now.  It goes perfectly with another popular pick too, olive, and this board brings them together with some touches of cream and brown.  I love the table setting for this board.  With the other natural elements and rustic centerpiece, the fun, bright colors on the table really balance everything out.  And asparagus as a design element? Very unique.  The cuff is another one of my favorites from an online store that showcases independent designers.  The vintage look of the jewelry goes great with the whole feel for this event.

For a different twist on olive, trying accenting if with a pale blue, lavender, peach, other shades of green, or even black and white.

Betsy, our intern for the Spring semester, has put together her first inspiration board.

Coral is one of the more popular color trends in weddings for Spring and Summer.  Orange-pink hues ranging from melon to fuchsia can be paired with accents for a bright and fun occasion or for a more casual, romantic feel.  Lime green, bright fuchsia and a rich orange can make your flowers, reception, and your bridesmaids really stand out.

This inspiration board uses lighter coral tones throughout for a more casual feel.  The colors I used were inspired by the tones in the colors blocks (top row).  I loved the lighter pink and coral hues, and the orange is a great accent that really makes the colors pop.  The bridesmaids’ dresses stand out with brighter flowers and a gray sash, another great accent for coral or melon colors.  The bridal bouquet is full of roses with the same beautiful tones, while the cake and invitations tie the theme together.  To make your color stand out even more, try a signature cocktail like this peach cosmopolitan.

By now you all know that yellow is THE hot color for 2008!  It is showing up everywhere from fashion runways to home furnishings - usually in combination with greys and the other 'it' color olive.  Very chic and oh so sophisticated! 

The trend actually started to emerge last year with yellow showing up as an accent color to the extremely popular black and white.  That combo is very striking and dramatic.  Here are some of my favorites:
