Wedding Color Inspiration: Custard

Happy Greetings to all our Lots of Love Readers!

Planning for a wedding is an exciting task because it gives us a chance to actualize our dream wedding ideas. For some it comes spontaneously while for others, it could be a source of a lot of stress. You can actually find a lot of great wedding concepts out there. The key is taking stock of things which you think will work for you and see how you can put them all together. 

Sometimes, inspiration for a wedding could come from something that is important to you like the first piece of jewelry that your fiance gave you. For this article, we feature another Pantone Spring/Summer Wedding color palette - Custard. 

Just like other Pantone color choices for the year, custard exudes a subtle warm tone that follows a minimalistic en plein air theme inherent in nature. This delectable shade of yellow radiates a sweet and cheerful aura that is both relaxed and comforting. Custard is affable on its own but it also works very well when combined with other colors like glacier gray and aquamarine

Here's a great collection of wedding details in Custard:
