Final Color Palette

Long engagements mean that you have plenty of time to decide on a color scheme, change it, decide on another one only to change that months later.

We always knew from the beginning that we wanted either blue or green or both in our color palette. While we changed our minds a few times in the first 6 months of the engagement, we settled in blues and white pretty early on. What I hadn't intended was for a few other accent colors to work their way into our scheme all sneaky like:



Light brown has worked it's way in to the palette the way of twine. We decided that our pocket-fold invitations were missing "something". We hoed and hummed about it until a little piece of twine laying around the house happened to seal the deal. We are also incorporating twine into many other aspects of the reception, but don't want to spoil ALL of the details! In the past few weeks we have also really liked the idea of burlap, which is close in color to twine. We will use burlap on the tables, as well as in a few signs.

The gray worked it's way in when Claire designed our save the dates. While we didn't ask for it, she chose the light gray as one of the text colors and we ended up loving it.
