Wedding Wednesday - Wedding Colors

This is my first official post about the wedding.....YAY! Things have started to come together over the last two weeks and hopefully by next Wednesday we will have the church, priest, and reception location booked.

For this week's post, I thought I would do the wedding colors that I am currently considering:

Plum - I have wanted this to be my wedding color since I was a little girl. At first, I thought I would have purple be the color of the bridesmaid dresses and everything, but now I think it will be a main accent color with navy.Navy - I love how classic colors like navy and black look. They never go out of style and I think it is the perfect color to use for the bridesmaid dresses to make their purple flowers pop. I will also use navy in other things throughout the wedding.
Chocolate Brown - Accent color that I am not quite sure how it will be incorporated.

Ivory - such a beautiful color that will hopefully be the color of my wedding dress and then an accent color.

Latte - Great accent color if I want to add more depth!


I actually found this color scheme on The Perfect Palette which puts together great color schemes for weddings. I was super excited when I found it because I knew I wanted to use navy and purple, but was unsure what other colors to use with it.

Here are a few pictures that show these wedding colors in use:

Bouquet - I think I will use at least a few white flowers in mine, but I love the purple and hues that are seen here.

Navy bridesmaid dresses. I plan on keeping mine short as well. These ones are super cute, I just wish I knew who designed them.


Amazing purple centerpieces!

Simple but classy way to use only a touch of purple in the reception decorations.


Purple and blue tinted lighting...I think it would be amazing to do this for my wedding! It could really transform a ballroom. However, I am sure this is super expensive and I doubt there are even people in ND that do this...but maybe.

Let me know your thoughts on any of these ideas!

Wishful Wednesday....SATC 2 Character

Oh, how I love Sex and the City. As if you couldn't tell from my last few blog posts! I love all the silly comments and I LOVE the fashion. This weeks "Wishful Wednesday" topic from Kelsey is:

"I wish I could be the one and only _______ in SATC!"

I think every woman on the show is amazing and has their own great and unique personalities. However, when it comes to the character I would most want to be Charlotte is my easy winner.

She is the most down to earth character on the show, who isn't afraid to fall in love with her whole heart. I love how she is a very loyal friend to everyone and I think she is the only one that actually thinks with her head on the show. In addition, I think she provides some great fashion tips for women:

1. Even crazy, stressed out mothers can find the time to still look classy.

2. Every woman needs a great set of pearls.


3. It is important to have a great go to dress...whether it is white, navy, or black.

4. Women can never wear too much pink...as long as the outfit is tasteful.

5. A good drink with friends can make any day better. And women always look more beautiful with a big smile or laugh on their face.

So who which member of the crew would you like to be?

Top Two Tuesday....The Bachelorette

Okay, so I only go to see the second half of The Bachelorette last night since I misunderstood what time it was on. I hate that when you look shows up online they say 8 p.m. However that is 8 p.m. Eastern time, not Central! Oh well, sometimes I am a little too ditzy for my own good.

Anyways, I was totally excited for this season of The Bachelorette until I watched the season premiere...I love Ali...okay really I just love the clothes she wears and her style...the main reason why I watch a kind of pointless show. But on the season premiere she wore an awful dress and I was worried that her style had been thrown out the window. However, she recovered last night.

Anyways, the point of this post is supposed to be the top two picks from The Bachelorette, so without further adiue mine are:

Roberto - He is such a doll! He taught Ali how to dance the first night and last night he played ball with her. He would make the perfect father and someone to spend the rest of your life with.

Jesse - How could you not love this boy. His comment about a "Perculiar" man on the season premiere won me over...plus he is a midwestern boy...oh la la!

Okay, now hop on over to The Undomestic Momma and play for yourself!
