Ombre, ombre, ombre

One of the newest trends that we have started to see on Pinterest and different party sites is ombre. The definition of ombre, according to Merriam-Webster, is 'having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark.' Basically, it is choosing a color and then going from dark to light on an object. Tablecloths, tissue puff balls, hair, cakes, chandeliers, the works... All of these things can be ombre-styled. The effect is really cool! Take a look at some of the different usages I was able to find by searching on Pinterest and Google.

in which they incorporated several ombre details!*

Overall, this is such a neat technique and style. Gone are the days of everything being exactly the same 'match-matchy' shade of blue or pink. We always love new things here at ACC and we will always be willing to try anything new and crazy you come up with! :)
