Wedding Colors in Everday Life

Is it pathetic that I squeal of excitement every time I see a combination of our wedding colors in everyday life? Yes, probably. Is Joel sick of me pointing it out everywhere we go? Yes, probably. But I can't heeelllllllp it. It's just that every time I see the colors working well together it only affirms our decision in picking them, and makes me that much more excited for the big day. "Winter" weddings are hard to pick color schemes for, especially in AZ. I feel like most people find themselves resorting to darker colors in the winter because it's cold and for some reason dark = cold, and then all the bright fun colors in the spring/summer because those = ...... hot? I don't know.





We didn't really want either of those color schemes. We wanted subtle, crisp, muted but still with little splashes of color. Grey seemed the be the perfect base color to pick, I think another wedding motto of ours is becoming "when in doubt, go grey". And then all of our other vintage colors are working out rather well (soft rosey pinks, light light blues, creams, etc. etc.) So all of that to say that when I see the color scheme in real life I just get so excited and quietly applaud my fiance & myself for successfully creating our vision from scratch.

So these are just a few snapshots of what I'm talking about... and noooonnne of these were staged. Unless you count my outfit, which just happened to be perfect for the color scheme. Mmmm just looking at these colors makes me want to marry Joel.

good call steph. you will be so happy you went with natural colors because they are timeless! i tried to do the same thing with our wedding (minus the pops of coral!) call me boring for liking muted colors but hey, gotta keep it classy!
