Board #440: Kumquats & Orchids

I know it's still the middle of autumn, but I was so inspired by this orchid and kumquat and couldn't wait to create a chic winter wedding board with it in mind. Crisp white is the perfect backdrop for this unique winter palette of evergreen and orange. Though it's not a minimalist look, the details are simple and not over done. It balances classic and modern, for a timeless yet updated look. If you wanted to add a holiday touch to this winter wedding, without being too obvious, unembellished white crackers would be a good choice.

Mood: modern elegance, winter chic
Palette: dark evergreen, white orchid, kumquat orange

Wonderfully elegant inspiration board! While the color combination and the ornate elements you use aren't minimalist, the subtlety of the color and the scale result in a look that is simple and understated. What color(s) would you suggest for the maids' dresses and the men's suits to keep this subtlety intact?
