Picture Perfect Palette No. 3

Happy Friday my dears!  I have to tell you that I have been having so much fun putting the PPP posts together for you.  It's really fabulous to find a palette that works with a variety of wedding styles. 

For this week's PPP we are heading to the French Quarter for some gorgeous inspiration...

I love this old world picture of New Orleans, and knew it would make for one gorgeous palette.  How fabulous is the flourish at the top?  I can just picture a wedding with an old world feel in the french quarter in these warm soft shades.  Of course I think a little flourish or glamour should be brought in with some gold details, and I am thinking a gold masquerade mask for the bride would be a wonderful touch!  A masquerade wedding would be so fun, no? 

However, this palette works so well with a classic/elegant style wedding with a bit of whimsy too!  I know, I just posted this picture on Wednesday, but when I started working on this post I realized that it works perfectly.  No wonder I loved this picture...

I love how the whimsy menu card brings in the colors from the palette.  Proof, yet again, that this is a fabulous palette to work with. 

And this color palette is perfect for a rustic or barn style wedding too.  The galvanized tin pails are just the perfect color for this palette.  Soft, pale flowers flowing out of tin pails as centerpieces would be wonderful.  By adding some burlap or linen and worn wood you would have the main elements that are needed.  However, I would love to see a little sparkle (or flourish) brought in with a gorgeous chandelier, wouldn't you?  I always love an unexpected element.

There you have it my dears - one palette used in three totally different styles!  So tell me - do you have a favorite?
