Color Inspiration ~ Orange

If you didn't already know, one of my favorite colors is orange.  I used it in my wedding and I just think it is one of the best colors.  Elle in Legally Blonde had no clue.  "Oh, and once, I talked Cameron Diaz out buying heniously colored orange sweater.  Whoever said orange was the new pink, was serious mistaken!"  Not sure if the quote is exactly right and I am pretty sure I can't spell heniously, but hey, you get the picture.  Well today I found a beautiful orange color palette which I love and I thought I would share it with you.  If you didn't already agree with me, I think you will! :)

Here is the link to the website where I found the pic!

Isn't it beautiful??  I mean there is just so much you can do with the beautiful color orange.  I just think it is so beautiful.  I have never been a super pink kinda girl.  Although I do love the color and think it is beautiful at times, too much of it reminds me of Pepto Bismo.  Sorry!  And because I tend to be a bit different, I love colors like orange and purple and green.  But that is what makes the world go round, right?  Different personalities!

Here is another one I think it beautiful.  I have always loved Indian weddings, I think they are beautiful the way they put their colors together.  At first you would think, 'Seriously?  How do those colors go?'  But they do!  And they are beautiful.  And they often use the color orange. :)  Check it out:

Beautiful!

And this one is so fun too!  What a beautiful way to celebrate a spring/summer wedding!  I love it.  That is what makes the wedding industry so amazing, everything is always changing and because people have different prefrences, there are so many ways something can be beautiful.

Well that is my wedding inspiration for today.  Beautiful bright colors featuring orange.  I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  Let me know!  Leave a comment and come back soon! 

Real Wedding Wednesday

In honor of my 3 year anniversary the real wedding that I am featuring today is... you guessed it, my own!  Three years ago today I married the best man I know and I am so happy to say that three years later I still love him!  He is perfect for me in so many ways and he is always working to be a better man.  What more could a girl ask for?  He's from Nassau, Bahamas and I'm from Simi Valley, California and we met at a small private college in Valencia, California, who knew?  We had a rough go at it while dating, but we knew if we could make it through that, we could make it through anything.  It has been a wonderful three years and Lord-willing I'm looking forward to many, many more!

Now to a few wedding details.  My colors were Tiffany's Blue and orange.  I know, it sounds a little funky.  But I loved Tiffany's Blue and having a fiance from the Bahamas, he wanted only bright colors (as you can see from the photo on the top right, his family).  I think it was a beautiful combo and different too, just like us!

I would have done a few things differently.  I would have been more involved in the planning.  My mom did a lot of the planning and I kinda just tagged along.  I gave my opinion when needed, but she handled most of it.  I have never been a real girlie-girl so I thought it didn't matter.  But looking back I realize this is the one time in your life that it is all about you and that is okay.  Take advantage of that!  Have fun with it!

So happy anniversary to me and my wonderful husband!  Dinner and a movie tonight to celebrate, no kiddos involved!!

Bright, Cheery, and just plain Happy!

I was perusing around the web today looking for some kind of inspiration to get to typing.  I found a few beautiful inspiration boards, but one in particular that caught my eye.  Now I know that everyone is different, but to me it is beautiful.  Sometimes I wish that I could get married over and over again to have different color schemes and use different ideas.  But then the stress of planning an entire wedding every year or so rules that idea out.  I will leave that to the wedding planners of the world and just blog about them instead.  

I think the color yellow is beautiful.  I chose it because I haven't seen it done a lot and it is perfect for the fun summer wedding.  It is bright and cheery and happy, just like your wedding should be.  I would especially like those earrings... :)

I'm happy just looking at it!
