Color Scheme..Check!

Okay, so we have officially decided on a color scheme for our wedding. After talking it over with Mike we have actually decided to go with a color scheme that wasn't any of the options I showed you in my previous post. We had originally decided on purple and green, but once we really thought about it we realized that we aren't really green & purple kind of people. Sooo drum roll please.....



We have decided on Orange, Navy Blue and Champagne!! :) We really wanted to use orange for our fall wedding, but wanted to pick a color combination that more exemplified us as a couple. It's preppy and sporty and I think you'll all agree that it's a little more "us". Plus is wicked fun! We're both really excited about it! So here's some of the inspiration I found that showsthe direction we're going with our color scheme.

I found this on theknot.com, it was a wedding in Seattle photographed by onethousandwordsphotography. We will be doing navy blue bridesmaid dresses and some sort of orange flowered bouquet; here are some links to dresses I like one two and three . We're also going to have orange shalls, because most likely our ceremony will be on the colder side. We are going to stick with classic black tuxes, but also do navy ties with an orange boutonniere.

The bridesmaid will carry something like this, except it will be more bulky and "fluffy" so to speak than this picture shows. I love roses, ranunculous and peonies :) I'll show you more flower things later in our planning process.

As far as reception centerpieces, we LOVE the candlelight feel to a room. We plan on having small arangements of flowers on each table with candles floating in these tall cylinder class vases and also some smaller candles without water on the tables. At the head table we plan on have rows of candles intermixed with vases with small arrangements of flowers. We also have a surprise that will be going inside the glass cylinders, but you'll have to wait until the wedding to see what we're planning on doing ;).

At the ceremony, we will be doing something along the lines of the picture above. We will also have pomoderes hung by ribbon off the end seats of each row. We also have decided to not have an archway at the ceremony. The back drop is to spectacular to have an archway take away from it. Instead we are going to have two large potted plants on either side of us. It should look great!

So that's it for now. I have also started looking at wedding songs for the ceremony/reception..I won't tell you about that now, but let's just say "Another One Bites the Dust" is a potential garter toss song ;). Maybe my nxt post will be wedding dress inspiration, we'll see :).
