So, as you know, the BM's dresses are a BEAUTIFUL orange silk shantung and their shoes are a golden bronze color. Well, I saw a really nice color palette with bronze (rust), orange (mango) and BLUE (Wedgewood Blue). Yes, I said it, BLUE! Who would have thought to put those colors together for a SPRING wedding. Yes, I have seen orange, sapphire blue and white for a fall wedding (and it was very pretty and elegant), but to "tone" the blue down to more of an ocean or Wedgewood blue....hmmmmm, thinking, thinking....

I've been going for a tropical look (since I can't get married on the coast or on a beach, we are going to make due in the center of the state where the closest body of water is the reservoir! LOL). I ORIGINALLY thought orange with fuschia, yellow and green accents. These colors are very pretty. The more I put them together, the more it looks "kiddy" to me. Not saying that I want some 80-year old woman look. Not saying that there is anything wrong with 80-year old women..........oh, shoot me, why don't you! GEEZ! So, I still like the fuschia and green accents, but I am really digging the Wedgewood blue more than the fuschia now.
So, I go to Paper Source and look at their patterned papers. I purchased a few to bring home and compare with the orange pocketfold that I am using for my invitations. Okay, so we are going to stick with the orange, off-white and bronze/brown combo for the invitations and I'll just use to blue in other places. KAY? :)
We are still contemplating the whole blue thing, though. Give me a week, I'll have it all sorted out....we hope. Stay tuned.
