Inspired by Fuchsia Pink and Yellow

March 9th, 2010

I am so inspired by the vibrant yellow and fuchsia colors in this photo submitted by Carrie from Sucre’ Dolce Bakehouse.  She made it for a belated Valentine’s Party and stated ‘It’s the only time of the year I get to use pinks for anything to do with my boys, so I take full advantage! They were white chocolate cupcakes with organic raspberry preserve swirls throughout, topped with White Chocolate buttercream, heart sprinkles and the most beautiful plump organic red raspberries!’  Ohhhhh, yum.

Perhaps it’s my cabin fever (oh HURRY UP already Spring), or it could just be my love for dramatic colors but I’m inspired on several levels here…inspires me to want to decorate a room, throw a party or the most dangerous - go shopping.  Well since my budget this month is dedicated to blue, green and everything else that says ‘baby boy’ on the way I’ll just do some “window” shopping online here… 

I recently redecorated my daughters ‘nursery’ to convert it to a gender neutral ‘kids room’ using bright, bold colors and I LOVE the results.  However, I’m tucking this in the back of my mind for future inspiration (given that I get her approval…miss independent that she is at a wise old ‘2′).  I found this on ‘How Stuff Works’ in the article ‘How to Design Children’s Room’s’.

I found this Rosette Bobby Pin in the Etsy store Brydferth.  If these are your wedding colors this is so simple and pretty, what a cute bridesmaid gift idea.

The ‘Bridal Bar Blog‘ recently posted some beautiful photos (flowers by Peony & Plum, photos by John Martorano Photography) of a wedding done in Peony Pink, Pale Yellow, Fuchsia and Red.  Just gorgeous…

On a more whimsical note…these pinwheels found in Etsy shop Rule42 are a creative alternative to traditional bouquets.  How fun!

Now for one of those ‘just for the heck of it’ purchases check out this keychain from Etsy store ‘SewMuchDetail’.
