The Psychology of Colour

It always interests us when taking on design work to look into the meaning of colours and how they would reflect in our work. We found this chart of the Psychology of Color via pinterest and had to share its a great summary of how to select colours for your home or work.

We're Loving Pink

For our first inspiration boards of the year we couldn't go past pink, though we are not typically 'pink girls' we loved how elegant pastel pink can look when done right.

For weddings a soft pretty pastel pink with accents of gold really is a beautiful combination. The gold cutlery is an elegant addition to the table settings as is the gold trim around the wedding cake. The vintage suitcase is a great idea for collecting your wedding cards or wishing well donations on the day, you can even use the suitcase as a keepsake box for the cards and mementos of your special day.

Grey is one of our favourite colours to add an accent colour to (those who have followed our blog for a while will know we love grey & yellow!). Pastel pink is no exception, here are a few interior spaces using pastel pink that we loved. Mia needs the pink children's chair for her room, I wish Target US shipped to Australia! (Update, the chair is now out of stock online)

A Wedding in Tuscany

It seems such a while ago since we have had the time to sit down and go through our favourite wedding websites and look for inspiration for new designs during this busy Christmas time. So when I came across this wedding I had flagged to come back to for the beautiful colour theme I had to share this whimsical and fun filled wedding.

We love the design asthetic of birdcages (see our Lovebirds Wedding Invitation here) and absolutely love them filled with flowers for the table settings...

This pinwheel idea for the tables is a great to keep the kids entertained too!

I'd love to know where to get these hot air ballon laterns! They would be great for a kids birthday party.

We're Loving Navy

Navy is becoming one of our new favourite colours. Our addiction to Pinterest lead us to find these great inspiration photos for navy colour themed weddings and interior decorating.

The combination of navy & white is a fresh contrast with pops of colour in the flowers and table settings just seem to work really well. Navy lends itself to all seasons, the photos below remind us of spring but you could easily use navy in a winter theme wedding with ivory flowers and snowflake motifs.

We love this Madeline chair (pic 1) from Urban Outfitters it would be perfect for a small reading nook. I would never have thought of navy in a nursery (pic 5) but it works really well with the contrast mint shelves and artwork to break up the dark wall. Picture 6 reminds me of the buffet cabinet and blue feature wall I have in my lounge room, though not as neatly organised!

What do you think of navy used in weddings and interiors, too dark? Or with the right lighting and contrasting accents you could pull it off?

An Indian Wedding

This wedding is so colourful and fun we had to share. The theme is traditional Indian mixed with funky trendy aspects and the couple's love of animals had to feature as an accent throughout the wedding in the table settings and artwork throughout the reception.

The couple Nisha and Sam, hired Amorology to plan their big day and they did a fantastic job. I think we will be adding them to our blog love list for sure!

We're Loving - Black & White

We are back with our inspiration boards for a black & white wedding and black & white interiors. Black & white is such a classic combination, it lends itself so well to a wedding theme or interior decorating. You can make it pop with a hit of colour or keep it elegant and simple in black & white.
