2011 Color Trends

If you are getting married in 2011 and haven't decided on your color palette yet, listen up!  Where do you get inspiration?  Do you skim through magazines or spend hours on-line?  Or do you get your inspiration from your favorite outfit, your favorite flower, or even your favorite food?  Either way, these are all good places to start.  The upcoming color trends for 2011 are farm, order, escape, and tribe inspired.  What does this mean you may ask?  

Farm: think fruit and vegetable stands, rich brown soil, anything wood, burlap and bailer twine, centerpieces don't need to be floral either, think about props that you see on the farm from the tools, to the boxes, and feed bags that food comes in.

Order: Simplistic and bold geometrical colors and patterns like stripes and polka dots, think black and white with pops of color, and even monochromatic color schemes.

Escape: Whimsy, magical, and fairytale-esque colors, like pearl, creams, ivory, and light pinks, more of an idea of escaping from reality.

Tribe: Yes, you've guessed it, from Africa to Australia and anywhere in between, anything tribal will go. Rich oranges, berries, textured browns, bronze, beading, and sketching.
