Color Trends for Spring and Summer 2011
2011 is approaching fast! Many of you have started your process on ordering and having us create custom and unique invitations! We are so very excited!
Just a little about my design philosophy...I am a designer by trade (went to a university with a visual emphasize, studied the appropriate design apps, went to work as a designer then an art director and now this...) and although I look at design, print and interior/architecture magazines and books, I try not to be "trendy". As a designer I go with my own design instincts, base things on color wheels (can you believe we actually used this to analyze emotions at some point), and my emotions.
I rely on the brides and grooms to choose their colors for their wedding because it is their day. So far, I've noticed a huge range of color choices, from deeply natural (ivory, coral, browns and greens) to vibrant rich colors (turquoise, yellow, dark orange)...a broader range from our usual....so I'm wondering why is that?
According to Sherwin-Williams for 2011 color thread "Status is no longer about consumption, it is about personal identity and ColorMix 2011 evokes that sense of uniqueness."..."celebrate individualism-a trend toward not being trendy at all." Well said.
I've actually heard a similar notion from Benjamin Moore as well...
Here are some of the colors from Sherwin Williams. I've included not the title, but mostly the "emotion" that's tied to the colors. Some of these colors are already showing up on our 2011 client list. I honestly love all these color choices. They are all so unique and individual and evoke so much emotion.
Enjoy,
