It Starts With a Color Palette

The Color Story Behind the Fig & Dove Spring Edit

Before a wreath is designed.
Before a sash is stitched.
Before ribbon is layered or embroidery is chosen.

The process begins with color.

Not trend forecasts.
Not holiday themes.

Color.

The most refined spaces always begin with an intentional palette. A room feels elevated not because of how much is added, but because of how thoughtfully the tones relate to one another.

A front door should be no different.

It should feel like a continuation of the home — not a seasonal departure from it.

At Fig & Dove, every collection begins with this philosophy: design from palette first.

Designing From Interiors — Not Trends

The Spring Edit did not begin with florals, bunnies, or Easter décor.

It began with paint.

Soft architectural whites like Ballet White and Edgecomb Gray.
Collected blues like Moody Blue and Lazy Sunday.
Garden greens inspired by Sherwood Green and Sage Wisdom.
Blush tones reminiscent of Scallop and Tissue Pink.

These are the shades seen repeatedly in beautifully designed homes — layered quietly on walls, cabinetry, upholstery, and trim.

They are not loud.
They are not fleeting.

They are enduring.

When a front door echoes the tones inside the home, the entry feels intentional and integrated. The Spring Edit simply translates these interior palettes outward — through wreaths, embroidered sashes, and layered ribbon. 

Why Palette First Matters

When color leads the design, everything else falls into place.

The wreath base becomes a frame.

The sash becomes a canvas.
The ribbon becomes punctuation.

Fig & Dove styling follows a layered approach designed to feel composed rather than decorative:

1. Start with a palette

2. Choose a wreath base

3. Layer in a sash

4. Accent with ribbon

Each element builds upon the one before it, creating a front door that feels balanced and refined.

Architectural Neutrals: The Foundation

Every palette needs grounding.

Soft whites and warm grays serve as the architectural base for this season’s palettes. Against brick, limestone, or painted wood, these tones create a sense of restraint and balance.

Neutrals allow embroidery, ribbon, and greenery to feel layered rather than busy.

They are not blank.

They are structural.

They create space for refinement.

Garden Greens: Organic and Enduring.

Green connects architecture to landscape.               

The sage and celadon tones used throughout the Spring Edit were inspired by the gardens that surround many of the homes Fig & Dove customers love — boxwood hedges, early hydrangea leaves, and climbing vines against brick.

Shown Here: 18" Square Boxwood Wreaths, 4" Sage Ribbon, 2.5" White Ribbon, Hydrangea Wreath Sash in Limelight

When paired with classic boxwood wreaths and botanical embroidery, these greens feel fresh without becoming overly seasonal.

They bring a softness that feels:

Fresh.
Understated.
Quietly elegant.

And they transition beautifully from spring into summer.

Celadon & Blush: Soft, Romantic, Refined.

One of the most delicate palettes in the Spring Edit pairs beautiful celadon ribbon with soft blush tones.                                                                                    

Celadon introduces an airy calm while blush brings warmth and softness. Layered beneath an embroidered sash and a classic wreath, the palette creates an entry that feels gentle and welcoming.

This combination works beautifully against:

• Cream or white painted doors

• Light brick exteriors

• Neutral architectural homes

The result is subtle and romantic — fresh for spring yet refined enough to last beyond the season.

French Blue: Tailored and Timeless. 

French Blue offers a classic palette rooted in heritage design.

This refined shade of blue brings quiet confidence to the front door. When layered with ivory sashes and gold-edged ribbon, the palette feels tailored, collected, and timeless.

Shown here: 18" Round Boxwood Wreaths, 4" French Blue Ribbon, Ivory Monogrammed Wreath Sash (Style I in Light Slate Blue Thread)

French Blue works particularly well with:

• Traditional architecture

• Paneled doors

• Brick or limestone exteriors

The tone feels grounded in tradition while still feeling fresh. Paired with classic boxwood wreaths and embroidered dove sashes, French Blue creates a layered entry that feels intentional rather than seasonal.

Sky Blue: Light, Vibrant, and Fresh.

Sky Blue brings a lighter, brighter energy to the Spring Edit.

This airy palette captures the feeling of clear spring mornings and longer days. When layered with softer pastel ribbon accents, Sky Blue creates an entry that feels welcoming, fresh, and effortlessly seasonal.

Shown Here: 24" Square Boxwood Wreath, 4" White Ribbon, 4" Sky Blue Ribbon, Bunny With a Bow Wreath Sash (French Blue with Green Bow)

Sky Blue works beautifully on:

• White or light painted doors

• Cottage-style homes

• Brick or stone entries

The palette adds a gentle pop of color while still maintaining the refined simplicity that defines the Fig & Dove aesthetic.

Blush & Soft Pink: Warmth With Restraint.

Blush tones bring warmth and softness to the entry.

When paired with structured greens and warm ivory, pink becomes something more refined — romantic in a quiet, collected way.

Shown Here: 24" Square Boxwood Wreath, 4" Pink Velvet Ribbon, 1" Gold Dupioni Ribbon, Hydrangea Wreath Sash in Pink

The blush tones used in the Spring Edit soften an entry while allowing greenery and embroidery to remain the focal point. The palette feels curated rather than themed, offering a balance of warmth and freshness.

The Finishing Touch: Ribbon

Ribbon is where the palette comes to life.

Fig & Dove ribbons are designed to layer naturally beneath the sash, adding movement, texture, and color. When tied beneath a wreath, ribbon softens the composition while reinforcing the palette.

A beautifully styled sash should feel:

Softly structured
Effortless
Never overly tight

The final look is balanced and relaxed — allowing the fabric to drape naturally while the palette unfolds across the entry.

The Spring Edit

The Spring Collection was built from these palettes outward.

Layered.
Refined.
Designed to last.

Each wreath, sash, and ribbon combination translates interior color stories into heirloom-quality details for the front door — pieces designed to be styled this season and reimagined again next year.

Because beautiful homes are not created in a season.

They are layered with intention.
