Fuchsia and Taupe

Filed under: Inspiration · Posted by: Polkadot Bride at 3:17 pm

The new Martha Stewart Weddings is out and has a beautiful feature on the colour combination of fuchsia and taupe.

The taupe really makes the fuchsia pop, but it’s a little softer on the eye than fuchsia paired with white. The warm undertones give a cosy feel, but can be made cooler if paired with the right colour.
