The Inspiration - Part II

After I found the Inspiration Ad again, I set out on a mission to find more pictures and images that would inspire me and I came across the most wonderful website ever - The Perfect Palette.  The sole purpose of this blog is to inspire color for your wedding; they have custom inspiration boards in every color combination available.  I'm not gonna lie, a couple of their boards almost had me change my colors because I was so intrigued!!

But I am sticking with my first choice of Brown and Orange as they have the cutest ideas in the orange boards.  I might even have to get orange shoes now!  Sarah would be so proud of me :)

Here are some of my favorite idea boards!

The Inspiration

So I am definitely one of those girls who has dreamed about her wedding since I was a little girl. I used to think I would have a spring wedding because I LOVE PINK, but then a few years ago I started seeing more and more pictures of fall weddings and fell in love with the colors and flowers. In fact, it was this one wedding advertisement that I saw in a magazine that made me think that was it, that is the wedding I want!


So I ripped it out and put in a box. Yup, at the time I had no boyfriend and no prospects for getting married, so I just tucked it away and thought it would come in handy one day. A couple years later I came across it, and decided I seemed a little crazy for keeping it and threw it away. Then of course the day comes and Marcin proposes; the next morning I pulled out the box and started looking for that picture. After about ten minutes of pulling my room apart, I remembered throwing it away, I was so sad!

About a week later, my friend Anna at work brought in a bunch of old bridal magazines she was done with. I was so excited! So that night, I grabbed a glass of wine and started looking through them all. Marcin barely had a space to sit on the couch, because they were sprawled everywhere! I turned the page and there was the ad from a few years ago!!!! I started freaking out and Marcin once again thought I was crazy. I think there are going to be a lot of those moments between now and the wedding. As long as he can live with it :)

So here is my inspiration for my fall wedding:

I'm still trying to work on my sister Kristy to get her to like the orange. And my mom told me a few weeks ago that my other sister, Beth's hair matches the dress too much! So I am working on Plan B because with orange flowers, that may be too much orange for the dresses.  But the overall colors of the wedding will be brown and orange and I am really excited - I never knew so many brown and orange things existed out there!
