Modern Summer Colors

A new and unique color combination this seasons is cherry red and aqua. As always, Martha Stewart leads the way with great ideas - favors, programs, and table settings. (Summer 2006 ). Not only is this is a fresh and bright, but it is perfect for summer. Whether you are on a beach, and want to use the color of the water as part of your palate, or you love the idea of a garden theme with rich, red roses - this combination will compliment many events. These two colors can also be seen on The Cake Girls website - handbag purse cakes could be used as favors for a bridal shower or a sweet sixteen birthday. I also love the idea of a long, family style table, as seen from The Knot's Real Life Wedding gallery.

Crate and Barrel featured this combination on the catalog cover this summer. Fun, floral pillows are available as well.

Lastly, one of the best places to see ideas come to life are from photographers. Jessica Claire and Jennifer Skog have some amazing pictures featured on their sites.
