Capturing the magic of Guanajuato: Jewel-Toned Wedding Inspiration

A Jewel-Toned

Adding a jewel-toned color palette to your wedding can elevate the ambiance, imbuing your special day with a sense of opulence and luxury. In our next shoot, Realm Planning took inspiration from the vibrant hues that characterize Guanajuato, Mexico, infusing the event with the city's magic. The team at Realm Planning worked their magic, bringing to life a beautiful celebration that incorporated all the hues of the rainbow. The florals by 651 Studio Floral were particularly stunning, acting as the vibrant anchor point of the day and infusing it with life and energy.

Your choice of stationery sets the tone for the wedding day, and this style set the stage for fun!

Bright, colorful wedding stationery really set the stage for the spring and summer vibes of this inspo shoot. Instead of reserving the pop of color for just the invitations themselves, even the envelopes got an upgrade with saturated, bright jewel tones.

Bright jewel-tones won't take center stage... they'll make you center stage!

A minimalist ceremony setting with all-white chairs was the perfect, clean backdrop to continue the use of bright jewel tone flowers and casual blue drapery. Ensuring the groom also wore a light-colored linen suit let the colors pop without an ounce of distraction. Of course, even the jewel-toned flowers couldn't outshine the bride's natural makeup, sleek ponytail, chandelier earrings, and tulle ballgown with detachable sleeves.

Create a unique custom table runner by including a meaningful piece of writing

While the jewel tones were still present at the reception table, they were muted slightly by the use of greenery paired with candles and string lights. The table was personalized in a unique way through a table runner made of a scroll with custom writing on it. If you're looking for special ways to customize your wedding that might not be totally mainstream, this is a great way to do so!

Hanging flowers and velvet furniture can bring style to your venue space from top to bottom

The velvet furniture in this staging carried through the pops of color from the ceremony, as well as provided a super cute, Instagram-able setup for cocktail hour. The colors matched the bright floral arrangements perfectly, and the rug added texture and an interesting pattern to round out the staging. Wondering what to do with the tall ceilings in your venue? Hanging flower installations are always so pretty and are such a fun surprise for your guests!

Don't just use pops of color on your wedding cake - make your cake the pop of color!

For this shoot, one of the most unique details was the bright yellow wedding cake with pixels of white and blue. Choosing a cake design such as this one is the perfect way to bring unique and bold style to your wedding day and create a dessert table every guest will want to take a photo of. Putting the bright yellow cake on a complementary blue vanity tied together the bright floral theme of the day and really created a moment to remember.
