Bright on Black

I am so excited to be doing not one or two, but three weddings in 2015. The newest one I've booked is a late summer affair for a young couple who are using an elegant red, white and black color scheme. For an evening affair, red roses are stunning and come in several varied shades from classic fire engine red to deep marsala wine (Pantone's Color of the Year 2015). I love the way a bright color pops on a black bridesmaid dress, and the nice thing with black maids dresses is that they can each choose what they like, it's less expensive, can be worn over and over again, and it will look great in pictures. Check out this picture from an event I did in 2010 at the Grant-Humphreys Mansion in Denver (Sarah and Scott). These flame calla lilies were simple and elegant, in line with the fall colors used throughout the wedding.
