Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!!!

As I mentioned in a previous posting, Babe and I had narrowed our selection down to six colors!!! I feel pretty accomplished after doing that! I don't want to set colors then end up changing them. I want to pick them and have them set FOREVER! lol.

I posted a poll on The Knot to ask the ladies their opinions of the colors. This is how it turned out:
Navy and Lime: 4
Navy and Pink: 3
Navy and Yellow: 1
Orange and Gray: 2
Coral and Brown: 2
Yellow and Black: 7 (and I was 1 of the 7 because I had to vote to see the results.)

Without my vote, Yellow and Black won by 2, followed by Navy and Lime. WOOO to the HOOO!!!

SO, I think that I will consult Babe about our colors being Navy and Lime with hints of Yellow. That way the two winners can be combined and I really think Black is boring, even though it's one of my favorite colors. We'll see what Babe thinks about this selection. *Fingers Crossed*

(Sorry that I always capitalize the names of colors as if they are proper nouns... but to me, they are! lol. (Guess I just wanted you all to know that I'm not dumb when it comes to English.))

Working Together

Babe has been calling me a Bridezilla. I don't think I am. He only says that because I really wasn't involving him in many of my wedding thoughts and would always cap an attitude when he had a suggestion. I finally told him that I would start from scratch {minus the venue and photographer} with the wedding planning.

He had been pitching color ideas. All of the colors he was picking were dark, fall colors. HELLO, the wedding is OUTDOORS in the SPRING! I decided that we could sit down and pick inspiration boards together! Well, I wanted him to pick 10-20 boards and I pick 10-20, which I already have some picked out, that you can see here. Then we would look at all of the colors together and see if we had any of the same boards. We'd then pick from the ones we had that were the same. Instead, we just looked at them together and picked a hand full. Now, he's given me permission to pick the colors. lol. Gotta love him! Here are the ones we picked together, in no particular order.

Orange and Gray

Black and Yellow

Coral and Brown

Blue and Yellow

Navy and Pink

Green and Navy

{All of the boards are from here.}

Looks like I still have a somewhat hard decision ahead of me, but at least it's getting smaller! Now, how exactly am I supposed to pick the correct ones?!

My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration

Seemingly the hardest things to choose at this point, other than the venue, are the wedding colors! I initially wanted red and black, but it's a no go. Someone referred me to The Perfect Palette Blog to check out inspiration boards. Here are a few that caught my eye!


Aqua and Orange


Aqua and Pink


Aqua and Red


Brown, Chartreuse, and Teal


Gray and Yellow


Green, Red and Yellow


Lime and Silver


Blue and Green {But without a peacock theme.} This is the one that Babe likes!


Green and Orange. This is my FAVORITE at the time. {At the time being key words! lol}
