Newport Wedding Trades Color for Restraint

A wedding in Newport, Rhode Island, built its color story around the water rather than a swatch book, settling on creamy whites and neutrals in place of a traditional palette. The choice ties the day to its coastal setting rather than layering a theme on top of it. For a bride weighing her own palette, it's a useful reminder: neutrals read as the more expensive choice precisely because they leave nothing — a mismatched linen, an off-tone bloom — anywhere to hide.
