It’s September! That lovely time of year when the days (or at least the nights) begin to cool off, yet the crickets still keep up their summer chorus into the evening hours. It’s also when we Virgo’s get to celebrate our birthdays! Sapphire is the September birthstone and makes for a gorgeous wedding palette. Though known for its deep blue hue, this gemstone actually can come in a whole range of colors, from light or dark pink, to green, yellow or even orange and red. These great alternatives to diamonds can also be colorless, but for the purpose of this inspiration board I’ve concentrated on blue. You can keep your wedding palette more natural by adding neutral (not neon) shades of blue, and adding natural color whenever possible – for example adding naturally blue viburnum berries to your bouquet instead of flowers that are artificially dyed blue. Enjoy your month, September brides!
