Dustin and I are excited to put together our wedding. We know we want our colors to be teal, cream and black. Outside of that, we don’t have a lot else we KNOW we want to do. For the next year or so, I’ll be using this blog to share ideas and cool things I see online while planning the wedding.
A while ago, I posed a question to the online community, “How much should you give away on a wedding blog?” The responses were varied, but I think we’ve decided to share a few major details, you know the date, the place, etc. However, when it comes to the small details— the things that make the difference between just a wedding and a WOW wedding— we’re going to leave those as a surprise. The plan is to show different options for those details but we’re not going to say which one we chose.
So to start, I’ve put together this inspiration board. I love the color teal, which is why we’re using it in our simple color palette. Teal, like blue and green, has a calming effect. The color also reflects nature and natural, organic feelings. Finally, the darker shades of teal give any occasion a more elegant feel. When we combine some other elements with the elegant feel, I think we can find the perfect balance between fun and sophisticated.

Drink is a Hpnotiq mix, flowers are lilacs (yes, I know it doesn’t fit the teal aspect…I just love lilacs, specifically the smell.)
