we're back! brandon and i had a fantastic holiday season and i'm hoping you all did too! it was nice to take a break from all things wedding. a week before christmas we went to zoo lights with friends and the next day attended two family parties...and there were a ton of wedding questions at each event. i had to stop and giggle a little because it literally hit me again "oh yeah we're getting married"!
so it's back to reality now that the holidays are over and it's actually nice and refreshing and exciting...and one more "year" closer to the date :) i've had a lot of fun revisiting websites i love and i've been getting a few more ideas. i'm literally obsessed with this color combo: gray and yellow! it's fun and beautiful and unexpected and i just love it! i've been playing around with the idea of having yellow burlap. i love texture and i love pattern but i want to combine the two in a way that's not overwhelming and chaotic.
i am 99% sure gray and yellow will be a part of our colors...but i can't forget about the rest of my friends on the color wheel. i keep going back to the picture of the necklace...and the lanterns on inspiration board #2. maybe we will use white and gray as neutrals...yellow as the main color...then the bold colors in inspiration board #2 as accents: white table cloth, yellow burlap runner, bold farm fresh flowers in simple white or clear vases with gray ribbon? i'm not sure (i keep changing my mind) and the great thing is we have a lot of time to make these world changing decisions :)
there is one thing i'm sure of: i don't want it to look staged. having props seems to be pretty popular according to the wedding blogs. desks, and suitcases, and sofas in the middle of fields and barns cluttered with little odds and ends. it's cute...but there is a point where the theme and all the stuff that comes with it becomes overkill and that is the complete opposite of what i'm going for. i think i've told everybody at this point (or maybe i just keep saying it over and over to myself) i don't want it to be a production. i want it to be fun and effortless and i want to make sure people enjoy themselves!
good bye for now friends brandon and i will keep updating as we get inspired...or stressed which ever one comes first :)
hugs
♡
loooooove gray and yellow together .... can't wait to design these invites!
