Two Colors, One Team



So I wanted an antique and neutral theme, and he wanted a modern and classy theme. Many would would think I would be the one to opt for the bright colors and he would opt for the neutrals, right? Well, let's just say we're loving the little surprises that we're discovering throughout this wedding planning process!

He spotted the "perfect color" while shopping for suits for his Best Man's wedding (yeah, I know, right?! Double blessings!) that is just about a month before ours. They were in the form of dress shirts, and the moment he saw them, he knew that the color would bring the best out of his men... weird, but thoughtful, right? Haha. I never knew men could even look at things in that manner!

Finally, after many failed attempts of trying to describe the color to me, he took me to the store to take a look for myself. An was always a black & white kind of guy, so to find a LIGHT TURQUOISE as his choice of color was a bit of a shock to me -- a PLEASANT shock, of course! It was beautiful. And coming from me, that's saying a lot because I'm definitely not a blue kind of girl. It had this free-spirited feeling about it, kind of like our relationship. He asked if I accepted, and I said yes... again. :)

Like I said, I'm not a blue kind of girl, and as beautiful as this light turquoise was, I didn't want to dress my bridesmaids in it. So I've decided to search for silver/grey dresses for them. And as a finishing touch, our bouquets will have some sort of light yellow flowers to complement the blues. PERFECT! (At least that's how I'm envisioning it!)

I'm very pleased with our progress... it's coming together so naturally. Now I can sort out my dress choices and pick out the one most suitable for our color theme. :) So thank you, Lord, for this experience. Thank you, Lord, for this man. And thank you, Lord, for this season where you are most present!
