It came to me while browsing through wedding web sites for coordinators. I found a picture that I absolutely fell in love with not just the colors but the little favors and napkins and place cards. And the funny thing is, it was from my very own venue (will blog on that later this week). And so after confirming that was my color scheme, I began searching for dresses, favors boxes, ribbons, etc all to coordinate - but not overly done.
I eventually found a florist and while browsing through her books, realized that the florist I selected just so happened to be the same florist who did the flowers and deco for the wedding I used as my inspiration! How awesome is that? And then while browsing the blog about the wedding I found a company in Illinois that did all their stationery for the wedding and fell in love with her, too! So now I have my colors, favor box ideas, florist, stationery company and inspiration all from the same wedding. So funny.
In some ways I don't want it to seem like I am just 'copying' it, but honestly, I always say there are no original ideas...only knock offs and twists on a previous thought. So I am definitely putting my own twist on a lot of the elements I am incorporating.
But enough chatter...here are the pics from Joyful Weddings and Events:

My daughter (a bridesmaid) is wearing this dress (hemmed to match the other girls) from Jasmine B2 Juniors in Bahama Breeze color and the flower girl will have a white dress with a matching sash in the Bahama Breeze:
And finally, they will all be carrying bouquets very similar to this with blue hydrangeas, burgundy cymbidium orchids, black magic roses, jade green roses and kermit mums:

Beautiful!! I'm so glad you found your colors and you were able to book all the talent behind the inspiration. It sounds like it was totally meant to be! Just like you and future hubby, right? :)
I love the flowers! They are beautiful. And that first picture with the table set up is stunning
Hi there! Just stumbled onto your blog...Fantastic by the way. I'm a Wedding Planner aside from my day job as a Plastic surgery center Administrator, and the Tiffany Blue and Cherry is by far my favorite color combo right now. BEAUTIFUL!!
When you mentioned on my blog about your color scheme, I knew exactly what you were talking about.
The combination aqua/turquoise with cranberry is gorgeous. Great choices!!

I had kept that picture in my inspiration folder because I love those colors but I know I am not good about combining things so I know i could screw it up. I'm still deciding on colors but most likely it will just be "spring colors" . You are so great with the planning!!!
Love the color combo! And I'm using cranberry red as one of my colors too so I'm liking that BM dress!
Red and blue will always in trendy.
