Colors!
We bought ribbon to give samples to our wedding party, so they can match their dresses. I love the way these colors look together, don't you? They're very bright for a nice July wedding.
Color Inspiration
I googled our colors (chartreuse, teal, and gold) and found a link with this image. I was still iffy about choosing these colors until I found this inspiration board. Now I absolutely love the colors and am planning on not changing them again. :)
Flowers
I decided I want to incorporate lots of hydrangeas. They bloom so beautifully behind my mother's house in Detroit, and there is an abundance of them. I figure they can have sentimental meaning as well as save on cost. I can just pick them from the bush!
