With it’s beautiful watercolor effect achieved with florals, you can incorporate your favorite flower in a range of colors using this gradation technique. It’s also a fantastic way to stay within your floral budget since you are able to achieve lush designs using one flower in a variety of colors. For example, the strawflowers used in the above centerpiece and garland are economical and last a very long time because of their texture and still create a lush aesthetic.

Martha never disappoints when it comes to setting trends, including cakes. This lovely example of a wash of peach flatters a tiered cake perfectly. Add texture, seen here with the use of gum paste petals, to enhance the look and make it a piece of art for everyone to enjoy.
Fashion has a wide range of the use of ombre, making it that much easier to gather inspiration. There’s something for everyone, it can be textural and dramatic on feathered skirts, like this couture gown from Givenchy’s Fall 2010 collection or elegant and romantic as seen at Monique Lhuillier’s pre-Fall 2011 collection that would make for a captivating bridesmaid gown.

I’ve personally worn my hair this way and loved it. The gradient can range from dark brown at the roots to a bright blonde at the ends a la Drew Barrymore or a more natural transition to caramel as well. This look shines with tousled waves and a center part or messy braid. Thinking about wearing this trend on your wedding day? Let your roots grow out and skip the salon this month to see if you can handle this hair trend.

Not totally committed to this trend? A great temporary way to add a little ombre fun to your big day is to wear it on your fingertips. Pick one of your wedding colors and have a manicure party with your bridesmaids. Your manicurist can add black or white to your original chosen color to create a gradient across your digits, like the photo above.
Do you think you will be using this trend for your Spring or Summer wedding?
Bouquet of flowers looks gorgeous!… and combination of colors is wonderful !!:)
