{Color Inspiration} Looking for some? World celebrations can help.

If you are looking for wedding color inspiration - the best place to start your planning, sometimes you need to look no further than worldly festival for ideas. We know which colors we like, we know what colors can say about us, and we know sometimes colors also have specific traditional meanings, which would be the perfect opportunity to get TWO cross-offs on your wedding list: COLOR and CULTURE.

Here are some great examples of color at some traditional festivals:

Holi, Hindu festival of spring and colors - Hindus greet the turn of winter into spring with a splash of color. The large festival has roots to many Hindu legends associated with the triumph of good over evil.

Cinco de Mayo - This celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, commemorating the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces in 1862, offers an amazing spectrum of vivid and vibrant hues. In fact, I would dare say I chose MY wedding palette by looking at these kinds of celebrations and how they used color to represent excitement, enjoyment and energy.
