Board #424: Retro Yellow, Black & White
Hi all! I hope everyone had a nice long weekend. My friend's wedding was just beautiful, and it was great to get home to San Francisco for a couple days. I'm headed back to Austin today, so I might be a bit slow (yes, even slower than usual) getting back to emails. But I promise I'll catch up as quickly as possible!
When I first saw the beautiful floral pieces by Emersonmade, I knew I'd be incorporating them into some inspiration boards - they're irresistible! The black and white checked tie with the cute yellow carnation pinned to it inspired this wedding board which includes retro elements and a bold yellow, black and white color scheme. It would work in spring or summer, but I'd love to see it as an autumn wedding - there's almost a bit of a back-to-school feel to it that I just love!
Mood: retro, bold
Palette: dandelion yellow, daisy petal white, licorice black

OMG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE anything black, white, and yellow. Those are my wedding colors, and we are looking @ a late September early October wedding. So excited to see more inspiration with these colors!
Aaah, brings back memories! ;) These were my colors too--just beautiful.
WoW!
Always honored to look at your site and see myself on the most recent post!
FYI..Photo was actually taken by the amazingly talented Photogen Studio out of Minneapolis.

BEAUTIFUL palette!
Daisies are pure love, and yellow is such a happy color. All of these inspirations are gorgeous!
Kathryn, as usual it is beautiful! I just told my editor how much I love yellow and black! If my complexion could be anywhere near yellow I would totally do it!
Just love this color combo!

Love it!!! I'm getting married in July and my gown has a black and white ribbon. Do you think this paletter would be appropirate for a hot summer wedding or is it more suitable for autumn?
Hi Konstantina,
I think this is a palette that could definitely work in almost any season! Your dress sounds beautiful!
Kathryn
hey thanks for the encouragement! It's a Carolina Herrera dress. The one from Sex and the City. it has a white/black bow on the lower side. And i was so confused with the colors. cause it\s summer and I don't want something dark. But I guess the groom should wear b/w.
