“Seasonal” vs. “Merry Christmas!”

DIY Wedding Adventure Post #6

My wedding colors were super easy for me to choose. I didn’t want anything that screamed “Merry Christmas!!” Not that I have anything against Christmas, I love the holiday, but bright Red & Green aren’t my idea of elegant wedding colors. So I went with the three colors I’m always drawn to…Raspberry Red, Mango, and Midnight Plum. It made sense to make these my wedding colors. I could still go with a seasonal theme, without the Santa Suits and Snowmen!

The problem was, getting the warm, beautiful colors I saw in my mind out on paper. My solution: Take a trip to a home improvement store and visit their paint department! I looked through every single red, orangey-yellow, and purple paint chip they had until I found the perfect colors. I grabbed a few of each of the samples so I could take them with me when choosing flowers, linens, and other decorations for the reception.
