Trend Alert - Ombré

Ombré - oh how we love you! For those of you who are not familiar, ombré is the french word for shaded. This trend has been hot, hot, hot all spring and will continue to be even bigger this fall.  There are so many ways you can incorporate ombré in your wedding from cakes to flowers to dresses, the opportunities are endless. The use of a monochromatic color scheme in varying shades adds an edgy element to an elegant style and we are in love!

Our personal favorite is through cakes! Not only can bakers use bright hues with icing, but they can also dye the tiers of cake inside for a sweet surprise for all! 

If you want this look for your wedding, our suggestion would be to go to your local hardware or paint store and start choosing pain swatches in the colors you like the best. Most paint swatches are displayed from the lightest to the darkest shade so it will be easier to choose the color combinations perfect for you.

We want to know what you think! How are you planning on incorporating ombré into your wedding? Post comments below, we would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
