Power Palette | Studio Olivine + Quince Events

The new issue of Oregon Bride Magazine features a really great article on the non-traditional color choices of modern brides. The five-page spread features floral designs by Quince Flowers & Events and letterpress designs by Studio Olivine, two of our Perfectly Pearl participants. The highlighted color palette of turquoise, red and green is a really bold color choice, but in capable hands the result is stunning.
