Merlot Musings Wedding Inspiration Palette Profile

Autumn calls for rich palettes and even richer textures. Atlanta area wedding pros put their heads together and gathered at the Macon wedding venue Hay House for an afternoon of gorgeous wedding styling. From the gold-brushed cake by Bold American to the custom watercolor escort cards by Charlotte Lane, we can’t get enough of this wine hue. Coordinator Bryn Harrison gathered inspiration by the Pantone 2015 Color of the Year, marsala, and fall-inspired details like feathers and rich textured linens to pull off the look. Floral designers from Amanda Jewel Floral + Design gathered richly-hued garden roses, bunches of bold greenery and tulips to create a lavish bridal bouquet and centerpiece. Planners and brides looking to pull off this autumnal fete should look to include rich red garden roses, bunches of bold greenery, gold gilded barware, luxe textured table linens, a historic venue, colorful signature cocktails and vintage brass centerpiece vessels.
