ACCENTUATION inspiration

Weekly Inspiration Alert!

I am LOVING  this trend right now.*So much, in fact, that I'm quite sure that it's not just a trend. This simple inclusion to any  wardrobe, home, or event is something so memorable that it will be a staple on the color scheme scene for years to come.

So, what's "accenting?" It's quite simple. You probably accent a lot more than you realize on a daily basis. Maybe you pair a super cute wide RED belt with a simple black dress, to give that dress a splash of "fun." Yep, you've got it. That's precisely what "ACCENTING" is....see, you're already doing it right?

Lots of folks choose to accent in their homes with a signature accent wall..like this....  
 

We are seeing LOTS more accent nails....(which I have personally tried with gray nails and a plum accent-SUPER LOVED)....Try your own like these we found on Pinterest:

                                     




 Or these like our lovely client and past bride, Linda C. submitted to us:

 Talk about making your BLING BLING!!! Love it! Especially because it shows off the rings so beautifully....:)


If you are falling head over feet for this style..and want to accent your wedding a little more...First, pick your shade. Remember Shelby from Steel Magnolias? Blush and Bashful. Well, she gets 2 because she IS Shelby and Steel Magnolias is one of my favorite movies of all times. But, in order to properly execute, the rest of us will just have to declare one hue for accentuating our events :)

Once you've decided on the perfect shade....be it gray, persimmon, or something in between, pick WHERE you'd like to use it. We suggest some subtle but memorable places like this : 

Cake: 

  Feel free to use whatever color, but doing one accent block with the same color accent flowers on the table will certainly catch your guests' eyes in a tasteful and fun way!

Another idea: Loving how this shot shows a bridal party that uses all white flowers so that your eye focuses solely on the accent color of the dresses. Talk about accentuating...and LOVELY!!

Clearly, there are many ways you can make your next event...and daily life "pop." My challenge? Accentuate on the daily.  Don't be afraid to stand out...and pop :)

Happy Celebrating!

*See what I did there? A simple POP of color (with "loving") goes a loooong way toward grabbing attention in the proper areas and engaging an audience :)
