We changed our colors AGAIN! I hope we stick to it. I saw this inspiration board from Snippet & Ink. I love the contrast of light green, peaches, and ivory.
Our bouquets, centerpieces, boutiennieres, ceremony flowers, and decor will consist of the colors sage green, peach, and ivory. We will be using a combination of roses, hydrangeas, and orchids. Here are some inspiration pictures:

Our goal is to create a comfortable and warm atmosphere for our reception. We don't want it too dark 'nor too light. We want something in between. Amber lighting with hints of light yellow color gels will be used. We are planning to order a gobo design if we could afford it. Here are some inspiration pictures.
The first picture is courtesy of Happy Photos. I'm not sure who the designer was. If anyone knows, please let me know so I can credit them. The two last designs and pictures are courtesy of tmmpro.
We are planning to have invitations, programs, table numbers, thank you cards, place cards, favor tags, and seating charts made. All will have the same color combination - dark green, light green, and ivory. Here are some inspiration pictures.
Color Swatches:
Invitations:
We're all about organization. Therefore, we'd prefer to have pocketfold style invitations. We plan to include the main invite, reception card, accomodtion/travel card, map, and an RSVP postcard (cheaper postage).

I found my inspiration shoes. It's from Naturalizer's new line and I absolutely love it! I hope Zappos or shoebuy sells it soon b/c I don't like Naturalizer's return/exchange policy.
