Historic House | An East Coast Sea Cottage Color Palette

by Erika Firm Posted on November 5, 2012

color palette historic house via delphineThese are the kind of colors I just didn’t see much back in SoCal … the coral door, paired with cool blue grey, chalk white and beige, with a hint of beach glass is a true East Coast beach cottage kind of color palette. We snapped this photo a few doors down from our studio. Love our little Elliotborough neighborhood — it’s full of inspiration.

Wonderland Letterpress Wedding Invitation in Coral and Noisette

by Erika Firm Posted on August 15, 2012

Wonderland Letterpress Wedding Invitation by Delphine Coral and Noisette Nut brownWonderland has been one of our most popular designs lately. I was inspired by Alice in Wonderland when I designed it … a little bit whimsical, a little bit Victorian, a lot charming. This example is shown letterpressed in coral and noisette (nut brown) inks on bright white 100 percent cotton paper, with antique gold envelope liners.

Popular Wedding Invitation Design

by Erika Firm Posted on June 18, 2012

Delphine Amelie Ava Letterpress Wedding Invitation designOur signature Ava design (a variation of our Amelie) is hands down our most ordered design. Here are three variations of the same design shipping out on the same day. Changing the ink colors totally changes the feeling, doesn’t it? I imagine the left one for a garden party, the center one for a fun bash, and the one on the right for a black tie ball.

Pretty Peach Color Palette

by Erika Firm Posted on October 11, 2011

Peach Apricot Melon Color Palette Vintage Prize RibbonsLast week I spotted these gorgeous vintage horse ribbons at Jennifer Price‘s boutique inside SoLo. I just love the color palette, which reminds me of summer peaches.

Jennifer Price Horse Ribbon FrameI can totally see these vintage prize ribbons in a wedding setting — perhaps as alternative to a boutonniere, or to mark table numbers (you can insert a photo in the center). So pretty!

a top ten Pantone color for Spring 2011: Coral Rose

by Erika Firm Posted on September 15, 2010

Now that New York Fashion Week is just about over, PANTONE has released its report of the top 10 colors for Spring 2011. One of my favorites is Coral Rose. I think Carolina Herrera showed it best:

I just love Coral Rose paired with gold. Super sexy, right? With this fabulous coral Carolina Herrera gown, the right fancy lipstick (by YSL) is mandatory, as is a classic cocktail (Cosmo, anyone?). I couldn’t resist the cheeky but glam koi handbay (by Judith Leiber). The whole orangy-gold look reminds me of vintage lustreware (bowl from my personal collection of goodies).

new delphine ink color: coral

by Erika Firm Posted on July 13, 2010

We’ve just added eight new ink colors to the Delphine ink palette on our website! Yay for my favorite of the bunch: CORAL. It looks oh so lovely paired with “classic” Delphine inks: limonade, sand, shitake, and sunny. It’s beachy, romantic, warm and fuzzy. I think it will look chic letterpressed on our lacey Robin design. On which Delphine invitation design do you think our new ink color would look best?

in the press: elegant bride

by Erika Firm Posted on September 24, 2009

Thanks, Elegant Bride, for featuring our signature AVA design in the Fall 2009 issue. The peach and cream color combo is so glamourous. Sort of old-fashioned and romantic, yet fresh and modern. Lovely! If you go with this color combo for your wedding I don’t think you’ll look back at photos in 25 years and think “aaaack!”

color palette: pantone’s spring 2010 report

by Erika Firm Posted on September 17, 2009

Pink Champagne is my favorite color from Pantone’s Spring 2010 report. Each fashion week, the peeps at Pantone head to the shows to report back on what they see as the color trends for the upcoming season. (Hello, fun job!) I think they’re right on, here, with the coral, pink champagne and light brown. I think the other colors are a little too bright … I had envisioned turquoise, but paler, like water, and yellow, but lighter like lemon chiffon.But what do I know? I sit in my studio all day …

You can read Pantone’s entire report here. And check out Erin Fetherson‘s website. She has some dreamy looks!
