Hadley & Greg's seaside soiree via Person + Killian

From Person + Killian: Hadley and Greg celebrated their beautiful late-summer wedding at the Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI, and it was nothing short of picture perfect. This Southern-raised bride and New England native groom were able to blend so many styles and traditions to make a unique and breathtaking wedding day that reflected their fun, care-free personalities. The Castle Hill’s location right on the Newport coast made for some great seaside pictures with the couple and their wedding party, including the adorable pug Moxie!

 


The ceremony took place on the Castle Hill Lawn, under a wooden archway overlooking the water. The small amount of cloud cover that had been lingering all day parted just as Hadley made her way down the grass aisle, and gave a beautiful golden glow to the evening ceremony. Hadley carried a gorgeous pastel bouquet, with light pink, purple and ivory roses and just a pop of bright orange. After the ceremony as the sun was setting, we grabbed some great shots of the newlyweds in front of a classic New England lighthouse on the water’s edge.


The tented reception that followed had a completely different feeling. Hadley and Greg were inspired by black and ivory, Old Hollywood and classic Film Noir themes. Their custom “H&G” monogram appeared on napkins, cookies, menus and even atop their cake. Once the party really got going, Hadley changed out of her gown and into a white flapper-inspired cocktail dress to celebrate the night away with her new husband.

We had a blast sharing this day with such a fun and easy-going couple! Congratulations Hadley and Greg!

in love with...COLOR 2013

A palette that mixes dynamic brights with novel neutrals to create a harmonious balance between light and bright, classic and new. This season's color palette emphasizes this balance, while at the same time allowing for individuality, self-expression and excitement!


Similar to the many shades in our natural surroundings, this season's greens offer a stunning foreground or the perfect backdrop for all other hues. Like the first signs of spring, Tender Shoots, a vibrant yellow-green, is invigorating, active and cheerful, while Grayed Jade, a subtle, hushed green with a gray undertone, brings about a mood of quiet reflection and repose. Sophisticated Emerald, a lively, radiant green, inspires insight and clarity while enhancing our sense of well-being. From one extreme to the other, combining all three greens presents an intriguing choice much like Mother Nature intended.

Exotic African Violet is a statement color that brings a touch of intrigue to the palette, as purples often do, and can be incorporated into many unexpected combinations. Try pairing it with exuberant Poppy Red, a seductive, sensual and celebratory shade. Whether it's a knockout dress or a kiss on the lips, every woman's wardrobe and beauty essentials should include this spirited, true red.

Nectarine, a bright, effervescent citrus orange with coral undertones, provides a tangy burst of flavor while cheerful Lemon Zest brings out a piquant taste with its refreshing, spritely greenish cast.

Signifying the time of day when everything starts to wind down, Dusk Blue offers a calming sense of serenity akin to its green counterpart, Grayed Jade. Both of these colors act as the season's newest neutrals. For an unexpected mix, pair Dusk Blue with the intensity of Nectarine.

A warm neutral, Linen is light and airy, providing a nudelike basic that is a must have for spring. Try pairing Linen with Grayed Jade or Dusk Blue. Anchoring Monaco Blue is a classic shade that offers both stability and depth to the entire palette. Combine Monaco Blue with Poppy Red and Linen, or Monaco Blue and Emerald for a fresh collegiate look.

Get inspired by PANTONE fashion color report Spring 2013.
