A modern yet traditional color palette

Blanc was the perfect venue for a day spent with their guests, as the venue itself has a very open floor plan that allows for a natural flow throughout the day. Erin and Aaron chose a color palette of white, green, black and a hint of gold. The color scheme was concurrently modern and traditional, sophisticated and airy.
