What's with this obsession with color schemes? Pages and pages dedicated to them in Wedding Magazines. . .on blogs. . .everywhere!
I was holding out on picking a color scheme. I thought, initially, that D was against the whole idea of a color scheme. I was starting to get a little panicky, however, because you CANNOT get stationary without having colors! I knew I wanted black and white to be two of the colors. Those two are generally unavoidable, unless the bride wears a funky color and the guys wear powder blue tuxedos!
Not that I have anything against powder blue tuxedos. . . my dad was wearing one when he married my mom. . . but D will not be wearing one!
But with Black and White, I still needed another color. And being the practical / hoarding / crafty bride I am, I went into my stash of card stock and found just happened to find fifty sheets of gorgeous pale lavender metallic shimmer card stock. Oh how I adore this color! Not that they can actually CALL it Lavender. . . oh no, its "Stardream Kunzite." Anyone know what Kunzite is?
A very pretty stone! I wonder if they can make it in a lab?
As you can see, Stardream Kunzite (Stardream is actually the name brand of the paper) is spot on!
Very cool to have Black and White and Kunzite as wedding colors. Even better than "blush" and "bashful" if you know what I mean!
Anyways. . . back to the whole color scheme dilemma. I THOUGHT D was against the color scheme idea because it was rather Wedding Industrial Complex-esque. Nope, turns out color scheme decisions are, as he puts it, "Over [his] head." He doesn't care about the color scheme, instead focusing on the centerpieces for his tables. Words cannot express how proud that makes me! What a man! I can't wait to see what he comes up with.
So the color decision is in my hands. . .
Black and White and Kunzite it is! It's too late to go back now. . .I already ordered all the cardstock!
