Colors, Colors, and Colors OH MY!

We participated in a wedding show this weekend. Since we do custom wedding jewelry for brides and the bridal party, as well as personalized bridesmaids and groomsman's gifts, we decided to be a part of this show. It was The Perfect Wedding Guide (Atlanta) Show and was held at the beautiful CNN/Omni Hotel. It was such a beautful day and brides came from all around.

In chatting with the brides about their jewelry and gifts, monograms and themes, I noticed that the choice of black for bridesmaids colors were being pushed aside to make way for colors, and I mean LOTS OF COLORS! As a matter of fact, I even made the comment to my husband (and partner in crime) that I had not heard the same color combinations repeated. These are not your standard black and red combinations, the colors ranged in purples from royal, to eggplant, to periwinkle. Then, to top it off they were mixing colors all over the place! Because we specially design and hand create jewelry to fit within a brides budget, we also match all of the top designers' colors. To give you some ideas for your wedding, here are some of the colors we may soon be working with.
Eggplant and Gold
Watermelon and Wisteria
Guava and Sage
Merlot, Cotton Candy and Pistaschio
Chocolate and Celedon
Ice Blue and Taupe
Royal Purple and Red Velvet
Lilac, White and Gold
Navy, Silver and Rose
Canary, Clover and Terracotta
Iris and Spring Yellow
Champagne and Wine
Brick Red and Slate
...and the list goes on!

I can't wait to see all of the pictures of these punches of colors! I am so glad that brides are stepping out of the box and really creating something wonderful, original and personal. It is exciting when they challenge us to create personalized gifts and one-of-a-kind gifts for their friends and family members.

We would love to hear the colors that you have chosen for your wedding, and if you have already gotten married, we would love to see the photos for inspiration.

Post them here or send them to us at : thesouthernjewelrybox@yahoo.com. We will have a drawing for everyone that posts a comment here to have an opportunity to win a pair of earrings in the color your wedding will be done in or was done in.

We will have 2 winners, one for future brides and one for the ones that have taken the plunge. You do not have to send in a photo to qualify. All you have to do is comment, and tell us what colors you used.

In case you are wondering.... I used plain yellow, green and white.

Don't forget to send your color choices and pics in!
