I think I have solved my color problem...I always thought I wanted Turquoise, white and brown, but then I didn't think I would find fun flowers to have with that color scheme...so then I started thinking about purples and a little pink, maybe some light blue, because there were invitations that I kinda liked in those colors. But...on Wednesday I was trying on some old shirts, trying to decide what to keep and what to toss, when I came across a polo that I had bought in Florida (trip 2) from Hollister. It was not fitting properly because the style back then were much shorter shirts, and I was preparing to part with it when I realized I loved all those colors together and I though....hmmm color scheme.
Let me know what you think...I feel these colors are way more me then purples....plus they'd go nicely with the reception room. What I figure is that the bridesmaids would wear the pink colors...dark and light...then my flowers could be a combo of pinks, yellows, orange and white...plus then everything else would be worked around those colors as well. I feel theses colors offer me many options and look great together especially for a summer wedding. Plus for anyone with a a tan those colors would look awesome. So the next task is on Monday mom and I are going to go to the Fabric store to find material and a pattern for their dresses, and hopefully as well for my nieces too.
Also on Monday Brandon and I are going to my most favorite card store...Duly noted to look at invitations, and hopefully decide on one, so we can get that process going. We are trying to find a photographer right now...I really want beautiful pictures from the day, anyone that knows me wouldn't be surprised by that seeing as I always have my camera.
This week I ordered a table and four chairs from IKEA, so now Brandon and I will at least have a place to eat in out future home!!
Friday is another day off for me, and on that day we are going to go meet with the pastry chef at Scanway and talk about our cake, which will hopefully work into our color scheme. When I called them today they asked if we'd like to sample the cake...silly question I think why wouldn't someone want to taste yummy delicious cake!!
So those are the plans so far. I bought two more wedding magazines this week...it's so sad I cannot help myself...I love wedding magazines...plus it's nice to actually have a real reason to buy them. I bought one once way before i was engaged and the guy congratulated me at the register...I told him I wasn't engaged I just like to think about the future...I wish I could run into him again so he could ask me the same question, this time I'd just have a way better answer!!
I think that is it for the wedding plans updates, hope you all enjoyed and let me know what you think of my colors...I appreciate all insights. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you'll all post soon, I need something to read!

Hey lady,
Sounds like you're finding the time to get started on those wedding plans! So much fun!
In case you are still considering the turquoise color scheme I think I still have a Martha Stewart Weddings magazine with that one in there. I could rip the article out and mail it to you if you'd like. Also, the knot has lots of color scheme ideas on there...but you probably already saw that. The pink theme is fun for the summer and gives you some fun things to do like pink & yellow lemonade. I had a friend who did bright pink & orange and it was really cute.
Also, I have a friend who does great wedding invites if you're interested go to www.miche.ca
I can also e-mail you a copy of the postcards she made for us after our wedding for thank you cards.
Did you order your dress yet? I think you will look GORGEOUS in it! Wedding dresses are so much fun because for one day in your life you get to look like a princess and the one you chose will be perfect!
I like your colors a LOT. Back when I had braces those were my favorite colors to wear on my teeth... They will look MUCH better in a reception hall! Where is your reception?
I LOVE those colours! They're so bright and festive and TOTALLY you!! I'm glad that you went with something that you loved instead of settling on purple. I know you were struggling with it.
How goes the dress search? And have you found out where your getting your flowers from yet? Dunno much more than what you've told me, but it looks like it's going to be a beautiful wedding. I'm really sad I'm going to miss it!
sounds like it is all coming along nicely. I totally like the colors, they are fun and different. Can't wait to read more updates.
Umm all I have to say is...that is TOTALLY what I pictured for your colors! They JUST remind me of you.
