Color Inspiration: Celadon, Slate Grey & Silver


I am obsessed with this classic, elegant color combo for a crisp, January wedding. Celadon is a grey-green hue that is typically found in asian pottery. Celadon pottery has been described by ancient Chinese artisans as having a quiet elegance whose color is "beyond description," in that it must be experienced to be understood, and its simplicity of form and style has been compared to the spirit of Zen Buddhism. For this reason, when celadon is paired with slate grey and silver accents, these colors create an extremely beautiful and modern color palette. Keep your centerpieces simple in silver distressed urns filled with antique green hydrangeas and white anemonies or sleek silver vases filled with white classic roses and silver-dollar eucalyptus.
