Tuscany wedding color palette
Viewers will be tempted to linger in the poppy-flecked, golden hillsides of Art Fronckowiak’s tranquil “Poppies of Toscano” prints, available from Allposters.com. A self-taught artist, Fronckowiak is known for his romantic, old-world style of richly contrasting shadow and light. We used the colors from this beautiful print to create a palette of Poppy red, Goldenrod and Ivy green. A casual guideline for how to use these colors through your wedding with your invitations, bridesmaid dresses, linens and floral arrangements is to choose one dominant color (60%), a secondary color (30%) and an accent color (10%). We selected the Poppy red background card, which is embedded with light sparkles and printed the overlay with a vintage clip art image. These richly colored Tuscany-inspired wedding invitations, were a great deal at only 46¢ each, including envelope made from 100% post consumer fibers from Formal-Invitations.com.
