Pick a color, any color

Who knew that planning a wedding was completely immersed in the smallest details? I didn't. I thought it was about the bride, the dress, the groom, and the food (yes, in that order)(just kidding Brad, I love you!). Maybe it is, but with all of those things comes 1,000 details you have to sort out. As I started to comb through these details in my mind, I realized that most of them hinged on one thing...the color! The color dictates what the bridesmaids will wear, what the flowers will look like, table linens, tuxedos, invitations, the cake, centerpieces, the favors...the list goes on and on. How on earth do you pick a color? Not really a color, but the color. I would like to think that I am not a bridezilla with evil intentions. I want everyone in my wedding party to feel great about themselves and look good. What's the fun of getting all dressed up if you have to put on a hideous dress afterwards? No fun at all. The other tricky thing about picking a color is that it usually represents the bride and her personality. If it didn't, then there wouldn't be such a thing as pepto- bismol pink as a color for a wedding. Ugh, completely hideous. Anyway, back to the thrilling color story...I know you're intrigued. I wanted to choose a color that looked great on everyone and was also a color that I loved. I came up with...drum roll please...eggplant/plum and pale yellow with accents of gray. BAM! I am super excited about this. Just in case you are wondering what to wear at my wedding, here are a few examples...
