Color Magic Cast a spell on your wedding day with the perfeCt palette On a purely practical note, choosing a color palette for your wedding creates a unifying design element. Yet it has the potential to convey so much more. “Color has a profound and dramatic effect on mood,” says Marie Danielle Vil-Young, a New York City-based wedding planner and founder of À Votre Service Events. “And each color affects guests in a different way,” she says. So whether you choose understated or dramatic, consider color your way to add magical spark to this unforgettable day. T E x T bY R E N E E S C h E T T l E R P h OTO g R A P h Y bY DA N V E R M i l l i O N 1 Sapphire 50 w E D D i N g S b Y t h e r i t z - C a r lt o n when it comes to expressing your intentions, why whisper when you can shout? “The bold use of a vibrant color makes everything more exciting and edgy,” says Vil-Young, explaining that a brilliant blue such as sapphire evokes both power and serenity. It’s an unmistakable vibe. “Neon blue captures the electric energy and excitement of downtown L.A.’s artsy crowd,” adds Greg Meyers, wedding expert at The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles at L.A. LIVE, where sapphire has been the “it” color since the property opened about a year ago. Additional depth and dimension can be brought to the palette by including varying shades of blue. And you can reflect a sassy, sophisticated state of mind with a striking signature cocktail – such as this eLActric blue martini – that resonates your chosen hue through and through.
