The Kills are such a great band. I love how with just two people, the band can create awesome music that is catchy, unique, and raw. Seeing them live was seriously one of the best shows I have ever been too. They were so good.

This particular album is one of my favorites. I love the gritty sound against Alison Mosshart’s serene voice. The photo on the cover brings me back to my teen years, just hanging in my room playing guitar. It’s interesting because it does have some nice colors in it, but you don’t really notice them to much. In a way, they sort of contradict the artists in the band and their music. They are fun and childlike, and would be successful if used in any type of party for a child or even a wedding.

Bomobob’s work is dreamy, whimsy and always seems to bring you back to childhood. I have featured him before but planned on sharing more of his photographs in my palettes. This Canadian artist has a keen eye for beauty and showcases his vision through color, fantasy and unique perspective. Some of the main reasons I love his work.

The photo featured here, Bokeh Go Round, has a vintage feel and childlike charm. Who doesn’t love carnivals? I certainly do! The colors in this piece are soft and feminine with a mature sensibility. The blues and purples provide a backdrop of cloudy pillows and fluttering hearts while the carrousel stands strong adding interest and character. This is one of my favorites for sure.

This palette can be used for any children’s party as well as spring weddings. Even having a fall wedding would work as long as you stick with pastels. The autumn scenery would make a beautiful background as well. These natural toned hues are pretty enough for a girl, yet masculine enough for any groom.
