Okay, well..

I never got around to making that inspiration board. Instead, I re-watched some of my favorite episodes of WE television's series, Platinum Weddings, from 2006 and 2007. After watching the gorgeous weddings of Shareena & Sagar, and Michelle & Rico, I decided to add a new color to the palette. But now I am wondering, is it too late to add a new color?

After months of heart-wrenching inner debate and hundreds of hours looking at wedding websites and magazines, I finally came up with a scheme of eggplant and pale pink a few months ago, and then created Save-the-Dates using thos colors. But then, I started second-guessing myself again (basically - is it too girly?), and that is where I have been for the past few months. I think my vision will come off more sophisticated, and not 12-year old girl's bedroom, but I wonder. So anyway, after watching those old PW's I decided that I need to add red into the equation. I just think it needed something else, and I had been toying with green, but I generally don't like green all that much. Of course, many of you are thinking, geez, she spends way too much time thinking about her wedding colors, but I know those of you girls out there who have ever gotten married know exactly where I am coming from. How do you reflect part of your personality through wedding design? So I'm just gonna go all out girly, because that's pretty much how I am. I think spending so much time looking at other people's more modern and funky wedding designs made me wish for something I'm not, so I'm going with what makes me happy at the risk of it coming off corny and ultra-feminine.

Here are some inspiration pics:

I think that the red really adds a little sophistication to the eggplant and pink. Full speed ahead with (sorta) new palette!!

the dark eggplant can be a masculine color.
