30 Sep Fall Inspiration: Jewel Tones & Metallics
Oh, Autumn you Goddess! It’s time to embrace the changing colours, smells and flavours that make the disappearance of summer a little easier to take. Mixing vivid jewel tones like emerald green, ruby red and sapphire blue with metallic elements isn’t a new trend, but it’s a gorgeous one and the perfect palette for a fall wedding; timeless, elegant and a little on the dark and cozy side.

- Setting the tone of an event from the start with theme consistent stationary is always a fabulous idea! Selecting paper and envelopes in the colour palette of the event and detailing with gold or copper foil is a classy look that stays true to your décor. This stationary from Heart of Opal does just that!
- We LOVE this floral arrangement! It was designed for an Elegant Barn Wedding combining multi jewel-toned florals with brass canteens like this brass tea pot. Using brass and copper objects like vases, candlesticks and unique trinkets to your centerpieces can add a bit of old world charm and decadence to your aesthetic.
- Next we explore two of my favourite trends; watercolours and geode cakes!! This stunning, tiered geode cake layers drippy, translucent jewel toned watercolours that makes for a very romantic fine art look. The pairing of the water colours with the Art Deco structure of the geometric shapes in the metallic copper is breathtaking. This doesn’t just add wow factor – it adds holy #$@%!! factor.
- Furniture is another area where jewel tones and metallic combinations can shine. These sapphire blue antique chairs combined with the industrial gold café chairs are the highlight of this table rather than a background element. The rich combinations of colour and texture in the chairs is juxtaposed with the industrial setting of the old brick warehouse and truly makes this look stand out.
- For a bohemian take on the trend, this table is adorned with mismatched, bowls, plates, chargers and glassware creating a relaxed and eclectic look. The rustic table and brass candlesticks make this look extra boho chic. Add a few wool Mexican blankets for seating and you have yourself a party!
So…. what’s your favourite image and why? I think I will have to go with number 4 because those blue antique chairs are to die for!!
