Color #1 - Aqua

Picture
There's only one thing that Beau loves more than bright blue water......his future wife. When I contemplated colors, I refected on things that were senimental to us. I chose aqua - a shade of blue, not a shade of green. Beau was the inspiration for this choice. 
I had NO IDEA that it would be so hard to find a bright aqua blue color when I chose this. It has been Difficult- for lack of a better word. BUT I wouldn't change colors in a million years.

Color #2 - Deep Orange

Picture
On one of our first dates I had mentioned to Beau that my favorite flower is a lily. He listened. He has bought me flowers almost every single week since we first started dating. He has bought just about every color imaginable...however when he bought the HUGE bouquet of orange lilies it was like Christmas morning. They were so beautiful! We marveled over them for days while the new buds opened. They were our favorite out of the numerous flowers he had chosen before. This was my inspiration for the dark orange color. Every time I see an orange lily it will remind me of him and all of the wonderful memories we share together.

Damask Inspiration

I love how elegant the damask looks. I knew that I wanted to incorporate it into my decor!

Bridal Party

Picture
All of the bridesmaids had the choice of their black dress from David's Bridal. Each bridesmaid will have a different dress, but their necklaces and their shoes will be the same. Each lady will hold a small bouqet like the one to the side here wrapped in an aqua ribbon.

Groom, Groomsmen & Ring Bearers

Picture
Beau and I had decided that we wanted something simple and clean looking for him and the groomsmen. We decided to go all black (shirt, vest, suit) with the aqua tie and hankie.

Hair Inspiration

Picture
I ran into this girl at a Bridal Extravaganza and I LOVED her hair! She let me take pictures so I could refer back to it. I wanted to have her fix my hair, but she is WAY out of my budget. A friend of mine is really good at hair and make up so she will be doing both for me, so we are going to attempt this look!

Bouquet

Picture
I really like this bouquet. I know mine will be quite a bit different, but I'm going for a clean, simple...but beautiful look like this one!
