Gia Graham Color Palette: Mint, Coral and Ivory

This week we have another fabulous color palette post from Gia of {betsywhite Stationery}. This weeks inspiration actually came from one of Gia's readers on her Flights of Fancy blog. We absolutely love the color combination Katie chose for her wedding and with these amazing inspirational images Gia put together this will make a spectacular wedding! Make sure to check out Gia's color palette posts each week and if you have missed any here are all her past posts: I, II, III, IV, V and VI for more wedding inspiration!

From Gia: Today’s palette was actually inspired by Katie, one of our readers who wrote me to say that she has chosen mint green and coral for her wedding palette but is having a hard time finding inspiration images featuring that particular combination. Well Katie, I hope this helps!

The bride and bridesmaids: Flowers in shades of light green would look quite pretty against coral bridesmaid dresses. To add a little color to the bride’s ensemble (without being too distracting), the bride’s bouquet could incorporate the same colors but in slightly paler shades. For a little punch of fun, unexpected color, the bride could wear coral colored shoes.
The groom and groomsmen: Tan or khaki suits would work well with this combination. The groomsmen could wear coral colored ties (to coordinate with the bridesmaid dresses) while the groom wears a mint tie with a single ivory bloom for the boutonniere.
Accents and Details: Vintage jadite bowls and vases would make wonderful vessels for floral centerpieces. Pale green succulents in terra cotta pots would also be a great alternative for a more casual/modern aesthetic.

I am going with Brown Champagne and Coral for my color pallette. I am having a hard time finding inspiration with my colors. The Lime Green and Coral pictures were really nice but still different than I have imagined. Any input?
