Inspiration #110- Making Your Color Scheme Work with Your Venue

It was brought to me as a challenge, and I was definitely up for it. The bride who requested this board wants to use a pool and tangerine color scheme, but is worried about it working in the Orthodox church she is getting married in. I've never been in an Orthodox church but the bride informed me that they are very colorful and busy with lots of gold. So, to make this work I decided to keep the colors present in the ceremony to only pool and white and save the tangerine for the reception (except for the brides shoes, a fun surprise). By keeping the bright colors in the wedding party to just one, with white as the neutral, it won't look too busy and wild in the church. She also mentioned that they are a very active couple and having an outdoor reception at a campground where they plan to set up a game area, love it! Since their reception is outdoors, they want to incorporate rustic elements.
