Colors!

Last night was momentous! Brad and I decided we had to settle this color issue, so we went to Archiver’s (a scrapbook supply store here in town) and tried to find inspiration in their many papers. We knew we wanted green for sure, so we first worked to find just the right shade. Once we found that, we found the yellow we wanted in a patterned paper, then decided to pick a backup color to use as an accent. We tried blush pink (I felt somewhat obligated to give pink a fair chance, but it looked awful, so we were happy to nix it) and then tried eggplant purple, which looked awesome!

I have to give kudos to Style Me Pretty (one of our favorite wedding blogs!) for all the color palettes they put up. Our yellow was inspired by one of the palettes a reader submitted to their contest (shown here). It was so helpful to see how someone else incorporated their colors into their wedding. I check Style Me Pretty everyday (ok, like four times a day) and I know I’ll be getting even more great ideas from them. Keep tuned for a blog spotlight on them soon!
