Monochromatic Monday {Aquamarine}

Today’s inspiration board is a saturated dose of vibrant color to welcome the warm days & balmy nights of spring. Usually I associate the word aquamarine with a soothing wash of watery blues…but this color palette is punched up with poppy details for a look that’s much more zesty than zen. A brilliant bouquet of balloons, carnival snacks like popcorn & lollipops and teal-toned macarons lay the foundation for a playful & outside-the-box party. The take-home lesson? Try mixing shades that may not seem like natural pairings; like this aqua-poppy combo, you just might stumble upon a match made in heaven.
