When Amy Atlas featured this “Missoni-inspired” dessert table on her blog last week I was blown away. I’m practically drooling over the amazing desserts juxtaposed to the phenomenal print. The paprika dusted truffles and the cupcakes were even made by Ali!
Apparently the hot pantone colors for fashion this fall are burnt sienna, creme brulee & nomad; in simpler terms: deep orange, cream and a muted grey. Here’s my take on bringing more burnt sienna, creme brulee & nomad into your life.
This stunning invitation and wrap by Dauphine Press features a burnt sienna vintage scroll, 2 shades of ribbon wrapped on a metallic folder and chic grey (nomad) fonts. Come view it in person at papery & cakery.
If I were throwing a party in these colors, I’d use the burnt sienna for the florals, as an accent color. The creamy creme brulee and pale grey tones could dominate the rest of the decor. {Above images from Brides.com, Martha Stewart, Inside Weddings & Style Me Pretty}.
Grey is appropriate for brides as well as bridemaids. Monique Lhuillier incorporates a soft, dulled grey tone in her spectacular tiered skirt and bustier from her 2009 collection.
Create a burnt sienna glow by setting these beautiful Indian-inspired votives on the table. Purchase these from paper-source.
And, of course, keep something in the perfect tone on your feet. Be it creme brulee, peep-toe Louboutins, Nomad t-strap Valentino pumps, or a burnt sienna pair of rain boots by Hunter.
Happy burnt sienna, nomad & creme brulee day.

Niki
