The prevalence of green this spring is undeniable. Similar to the many shades in our natural surroundings, this season’s greens offer a stunning foreground or the perfect backdrop for all other hues.

Tender Shoots, like the first signs of spring, a vibrant yellow-green, is invigorating, active and cheerful.
Grayed Jade, a subtle, hushed green with a gray undertone, brings about a mood of quiet reflection and repose.
Sophisticated Emerald, a lively, radiant green, inspires insight and clarity while enhancing our sense of well-being.
Dusk Blue offers a calming sense of serenity akin to its green counterpart, Grayed Jade. Both of these colors act as the season’s newest neutrals.
A warm neutral, Linen is light and airy, providing a nudelike basic that is a must have for spring.
Exotic African Violet is a statement color that brings a touch of intrigue to the palette, as purples often do, and can be incorporated into many unexpected combinations.
Exuberant Poppy Red, a seductive, sensual and celebratory shade. Whether it’s a knockout dress or a kiss on the lips, every woman’s wardrobe and beauty essentials should include this spirited, true red.
Nectarine, a bright, effervescent citrus orange with coral undertones, provides a tangy burst of flavor.
Lemon Zest brings out a piquant taste with its refreshing, spritely greenish cast.

Big Sur is one of the most amazing places on the planet as far as we’re concerned. Aside from the spectacular, natural coastline, there is something very modern about this little slice of heaven. Its natural beauty is timeless and, yet, ever changing with the dynamic coastline and free wildlife. Eagles and condors in flight, ocean waves crashing, sun rising and setting…serenity defined. And, without cell phone reception, you’re forced to enjoy it. :)

One of the most exquisite private estates in Big Sur is known as Anderson Canyon. A long time celebrity favorite for weddings and retreats (it is rumored Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway held their weddings here), it can be reserved for private rental, whether for a fabulous vacation or for a private event. Imagine yourself staying a week, or hosting an unforgettable soiree, at this amazing, natural, modern, coastal retreat.

Simple glamour! For a summer wedding, there would be no need for anything more than this gorgeous silk dress from Narciso Rodriguez. (Photo: Nymag.com.)
