Natasha + Nathan :: CA Wedding Part 1 :: Little Pops Of Color
It’s been an unseasonably warm week in the DC/VA area, and for those of us OLAS-ers who live near enough to enjoy it, let’s just say we have definitely been trying to soak it up. It’s the beginning of March people! This is crazy weather! Crazy awesome weather, we might add. In keeping with the spring-like temperatures we’ve been so lucky to enjoy lately, we’ve decided to talk a little bit about the popular & upcoming new spring trend, pops of color! California couple Natasha and Nathan and their June wedding are the perfect example to demonstrate this fun new trend. Here are a few things to take away from their gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS wedding shot by our unbelievably talented California photographer, Michael.
1. Know when to use them :: Natasha + Nathan decided to have their wedding at a winery, and therefore knew that their surroundings were going to be absolutely stunning. Think about your location, if you’ve already got a really beautiful back drop, consider just using little pops of color to infuse in some fun and personality! If you need to jazz up your surroundings a little more, you may want to have a more bold/obvious approach when it comes to your color scheme.
2. Think about the littlest details :: N + N did such a great job infusing fun little pops of color into all the most unexpected places; from Natasha’s shoes to Nathan’s socks and pocket square, even their Champagne labels! Natasha’s cosmetician even joined in on the fun and wore yellow nail polish (which looks so gorgeous in the photos of N getting her makeup done!). Think about all the little, unexpected places you could add pops of color – it’s really amazing how the littlest details can make all.the.difference in your photos.
3. Go bright! Go bold! :: The really great thing about little pops of color… is that they are little! Don’t be afraid to choose really bold & fun colors like oranges, bright greens, reds & pinks. They’ll just add a little something extra to the decor, without dominating your entire look.
*Keep an eye out for more pops of color coming in Part 2 next week!
