Whether it is the traditional symbolism of the bridal gown or the delicate sophistication of the floral arrangements, white remains the steadfast color of choice for many weddings. And for good reason: white reads chic and subdued elegance (think Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton). A white color palette may not be suitable for every wedding. For our royally gorgeous couple, it definitely does! Let's break down when white works. White works when it is given an opportunity to either blend or contrast. When it blends, it offers a tranquil and nuanced tone to a neutral palette. At Stanly Ranch, we optimized the existing architecture and textures of stone work, garden beds, and natural-dyed linens where the white florals from Scarlett & Grace give such a sophisticated yet subtle depth, softening and complementing the setting. Where white offers contrast, it accentuates the curves and lines of elements next to it. In this case, white is the yin to the yang of darker colors - like the groom's dapper James Bond dinner tux ensemble, or how the angular gabled buildings and blackened steel window framing create a dynamic tension, further powering the effect of white. Whether a white, neutral palette or a bold spectrum of color, select a palette that suits your personal style, reflects your mood, and works with the venue setting. We often use the term "anikothesi", coined by Rick and Jennifer Tan. It means belonging to time and place, working with the season and the setting to create the aesthetics of the event. The result is an effortless and timeless elegance. Photography | Kate Kennedy Photography
