the search has ended (for now...)

one of the first things i did when starting the wedding planning process was to try and pick colors for our wedding. it seemed like a logical starting point from which all other decisions would be made. so, i began my search on the web.

at first, i really wanted to have a black, white & _____ theme:

then, when we decided to have our wedding take place in the summer, i thought that this might be a bit too dark for that time of year. furthermore, it may have set a "super-formal" tone for the wedding, which i didn't really want. it also didn't help that david, my mom and sister weren't really into the b&w thing.


i'm really drawn to blues and greens, so i started to search for ideas with that color combo. seeing as gray is to be the new chocolate brown for weddings, i thought that adding it into the blue and green mix would be a nice compromise to not having any b&w. it wasn't until today that i stumbled upon the following image while on the Weddingwire blog:




it was exactly what i was looking for! i was suuuper excited to finally find the perfect combination. now i just have to approve with the other half of d&d -- you know how into "colors" he really is! you would think that guys wouldn't care much for this stuff...but not david! :)
