What if your wedding colour inspiration didn’t c What if your wedding colour inspiration didn’t come from a Pinterest trend, but from a feeling? ⁠ ⁠ When stationery artist Kirsty from @forkeepsillustration began designing for a couple marrying in Florence, they instinctively chose blush pink. But as their story unfolded, something shifted. Blush stayed, but it was joined by the perfect burnt orange. Emotional, personal, unforgettable.⁠ ⁠ Because the best wedding palettes? They start with you. Not what’s trending.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read Kirsty’s beautiful piece on Polka Dot Wisdom. ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A romantic Save the Date card is styled flat-lay on a soft pink fabric background with delicate dried florals and vintage postage stamps around the edges. The card features classical busts on ornate columns, entwined with hand-illustrated vines, blush pink flowers, and pops of orange berries. At the top, whimsical script reads “Save Our Date!” followed by the couple’s names, Courtney & Bradley, in playful orange and pink calligraphy. The card announces their wedding in Florence on July 8, 2026. In a mix of elegant serif and handwritten fonts, giving the entire design a timeless yet joyful, painterly feel.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingPro #WeddingVendor #WeddingStationery #WeddingPalette #ModernRomance #WeddingDesign #WeddingInvitation #ThePinkIssue #PinkWedding #PinkWeddingDress #PinkWeddings #PinkWeddingGown #PinkBridalGown #PinkWeddingDecor #PinkBridesmaidsDress #PinkBouquet
