Board #464: Black Slate and Spring
Doesn't this green remind you of the tiny leaf buds that start popping out in early spring? Inspired by this stunning photo of Vera Wang's green dress, I thought black slate (a sort of chalkboard gray) and leaf bud green would be a lovely and unexpected Spring palette, and a nice choice for the first inspiration board of March. It has a slightly modern feel that balances sweetly romantic details like bows and springerle cookies and vines, and I think it could work in a wide range of venues from an historic estate to an industrial loft.
Mood: romance with a modern twist
Palette: black slate, pastel spring green, cream white

Simply stunning, like the way spring looks the moment before it blossoms - an appropriate metaphor for any new bride!

Hello lovely Kathryn! I am awarding the Sunshine Blog award to you! Visit my blog for more info http://tiedwithabouw.blogspot.com/2010/03/sunshine-blog-award.html xo
Definitely itchin' for spring! The green is beautiful. Calming, yet warming at the same time!
i think this color palette is very elegant
I've tried this green Vera dress on and it was really fantastic, and wasn't that expensive. I think it was under 3K. They have a white version, but it didn't have the same wow effect. I might have even bought it, but it made my skin look kind of pink in a not so flattering way. Anyway, it looks amazing in this board.
We love the color theme… Gorgeous!
