Turquoise + Gold
Today's feature: a jaunt to New York's Upper East Side with bridal stylist Jackie of Merci New York. Take it away, Jackie!
I’ve long loved the pairing of turquoise and gold! The bright blue shade is often reserved for beachside affairs, but saddled up to gilded gold hues, the results are positively chic {and event a hint mid-century modern}. To create a fashionable fete that oozes style {with a nod to 60s polish}, amp up current-day accessories, floral and décor with streamlined silhouettes, bold décor patterns {read: chevron it up!} and white as an alternative partner to either hue, so that the palette stays crisp and chic.
