Turquoise Rising

I just had to post this: I've had some paint made for our various spring promotions, and Kevin (our carpenter) repainted some of my flats that I use for backgrounds, etc. Just look at this turquoise (Pantone's Color of the Year for 2010). Turquoise is coming!! Be on the lookout for some interesting features here and elsewhere regarding some of the colors in the Pantone 2010 forecast.

Turquoise Celebration

Checkerboard was spot on with their insight for trend spotting and delivered us this gold and turquoise greeting. The chocolate envelope really compliments the card and the gold ink pulls it all together.

Xia viridiflora var minor was the only turquoise flower I came across, dear Cathy (ref:comment on last post), and it happens to be indigenous of South Africa. It is pretty stunning with the aubergine center. Massachusetts cultivation may give you the petal up on Turquoise flora!

If turquoise is one of your wedding colors this year, send us your insight on how you would use it!
