Color Palette: Rose Garden

Once again, nature is the greatest place to look for color inspiration! Does anything make you long for warmer sunny days more than gorgeous flowers? I can’t wait… All of the following images were taken by my sister in art, Natalie Lodicobond of photolodico, in Midland, Michigan. Natalie has an amazing gift for finding the best light and creating magic out of the everyday. I’ve taken photos of flowers before, but they did not look like these! These are soft and romantic and seriously stunning. I’m so happy to have another opportunity to collaborate with Natalie. She is one of the hardest working artists I know, working diligently and relentlessly to perfect her art. If you’re interested in her incredible photography services you can reach her on her website, Instagram, or Facebook.

Here are some new color palettes inspired by photos taken in the rose garden at Dow Gardens, in Midland, Michigan.

This deep gray, green, mustard, peach combo is EVERYTHING!
