Deep and dramatic, the Cherry Palette sets a bold, luxurious tone that’s perfect for achieving an utterly romantic mood. This style of event will leave a lasting impression on guests, and it all starts with the printed pieces you create.
The Cherry Palette and Custom Print
Our designer put together a gorgeous style board to tell the story of this magnificent color, including a few custom print gems that fit the mood perfectly.
The Palette
Who knew a color palette could look so delicious! Various shades of dark red hues come together in this color story through uniquely stunning elements. From actual cherries and velvet seating to lush roses and corset gowns, this palette is both sweet and sassy. The tone-on-tone design trend is on full display.
The Print
The really beautiful thing about cherry is that it’s eye-catching enough to draw attention but not so bright that it steals the show. Cherry is all about setting a mood, so we grabbed some color-forward print options to complement the look. The cabernet panel pockets shown feature shimmering gold foil printing on the front and a white invitation with foil printing on the inside. The cabernet belly bands in the lower left feature vibrant White Ink, which stands out beautifully against the rich hue.
At the center, you can see swatches of claret letterpress ink and claret thermography ink. Pay close attention to the differences here. You’ll notice how the claret thermography (a.k.a. raised printing) is a little brighter with a subtle sparkle—it catches the light beautifully! Letterpress on the hand is a bit darker and more subdued. It’s important to remember with specialty print processes that variation in color is natural, and to plan for it.
The Parties
The cherry color palette is striking but it really shines at events that are meant to make a statement. We’re thinking formal events, but color is color and as a designer, you can interpret it for any occasion! Here’s what we envision…
- Fall and Winter Weddings
- Bachelorette Parties
- Black-Tie Galas
- Holiday Parties and New Year’s Eve Events
- Romantic Anniversary Celebrations
- Formal Corporate Events
However you decide to use the cherry palette, get creative with custom print! We can achieve the look you’re going for through state-of-the-art digital printing or 5-star specialty print processes. Either way, your designs will SHINE.
