Colors, Colours, Colores

I thought it would be one of the easier things to decide when we started talking about colors for the wedding. Let's be honest, as the groom I don't really carry or interact with the colors very much. Still, the colors we choose will present themselves throughout the entirety of our wedding. That said, it's a pretty big deal regardless.

It really came down to two sets of colors: Purples OR Orange & Greens. Both looked marvelous! I came up with a brilliant idea: Go to a florist and get a flower arrangement of both color schemes! Like I said, brilliant. Well, by the time I was able to get to a florist that could put some samples together for us, we had already decided on the Orange & Greens. With that in mind, I wanted to get a bouquet of flowers representing our colors to surprise Glady when she got home the other night. You can read below how it was received...Like I said, brilliant!

Our Colors

I spend nights wide awake trying to figure out what our colors should be. I even have nightmares about it. Purples, Greens, Reds, Pinks, and Oranges! AHHH the horror.

I'm totally kidding. But it has been a tough decision.

I've finally made up my mind. After seeing this Muse Board from Wedding Cabaret, I fell in love with Oranges and Greens. I think they are the perfect colors for our fall wedding.

I also bought a magazine this weekend from borders along with "The Modern Bride Survival Guide" and I am even more in love with wedding planning. I found these beautiful orange bouquets inside the magazine. I particularly love the orange with hints of green.

And just because he is the sweetest, I have to share. Last night I came back to the apartment, and found these lovely flowers waiting for me. I hadn't seen Chris all day, and the last thing I expected was to come home to find beautiful flowers. It was such a wonderful surprise. He even told me he chose this particular arrangement because it contained our wedding colors. He's the sweetest.

YAY for pretty colors. Happy Tuesday!
