I love unexpected colour combinations- the dark plum is regal, the sage is stately, and the dark teal/turqoise adds just a touch of playfulness to the scheme. Gold is the underlying accent colour and would be used in pieces like chiavari chairs, candle sticks, and gold/clear glass chargers, for example. The kick-off point for this board were the black calla lilies, and it was inspired by the Ballroom of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
