An Island Fall Color Palette

Today I am in the mood for fall. The only drawback to my mood is that here in Hawaii fall weather is pretty much identical to summer weather. I shouldn’t complain – it is a beautiful 85 degrees outside, but I need to find a way to fit a little autumn into my day. So: how about a fun fall color palette?

Since so many couples come to Hawaii for island-themed weddings, I decided to incorporate both themes. A little bit of green and brown, and a little island flair is the theme for the day. I tried to tone down the colors and get away from those bright pink and purple orchids for a while, and go for warm neutrals.

Also, I am proud to say that everything on this board can be found or made locally!
