The hues in this palette can run the gamut from bold to mild, but the beauty of the outdoors ultimately inspires all of them. Our current favorite combo in this palette combines color-of-the-moment chocolate with a beautiful soft green (1). Think of how gorgeous your invites will be when chocolate-colored card stock gets accented with a bright green border or ribbon. Dress your maids in the same way — rich brown gowns enhanced with a collection of green blossoms such as roses, orchids and hydrangea. For a more dressed up take on natural hues, pair a warm copper and a cool mauve (2). We also love the dramatic contrast of cornflower yellow and rich eggplant (go overboard with irises!) (3). And if you want a warm, modern combo, try out tomato red and hay (4).
