Our friend Vivianna just sent us some photographs from her recent beachy wedding in happy Mexico, and we were so impressed with the use of color (and everything else, of course!) that we just had to immediately share with all you brides-to-be out there. Too often brides stick to the same old palate of tried-and-true colors (which, hey, we don’t blame you!), but let this wedding be a lesson–and inspiration–to you. Turquoise bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen ties to match the turquoise sea? Um, as evidenced by the above pictures: yes, please! Simply genius.

So, we say: Take chances, be bold, and have fun with color. Just go for it.

Congratulations, Vivianna and Daniel!
