I got my color samples!!

Ok, I am way too excited about this for a normal person (but I’m not normal, so it’s fine). You see, once I had decided on a color scheme, I felt that I could move on to the rest of the projects for the wedding. But, how do I select the colors to match the flowers without ever seeing the flowers in the first place?

So my intention is to have as many color samples as I can get my hands on, and then start matching it to the floral arrangements when I go to my next meeting (where I will see my centerpieces).

For invitations, I decided to use some sort of orange, ecru or cream, and champagne. I ordered these from Remote Assistance. They are so great because the samples came within a week, and you can order by color groups. Below are the orange color group, and the white/cream color group. I paid almost $30 for them, which may seem like a lot, but to me, they were worth it.

I really like the ones with some sort of print on them. But I’m not sure if I am going to use it yet.

For my BM dresses, I needed to see the actual shade of champagne, because they vary greatly depending on where you go. I really liked working with Coco Myles, so I ordered two samples from them (ivory and champagne). They sent their samples for free!

I really love the champagne color, but I have to see it against the flowers before I make my final decision.

I’ve ordered one more sample set of invitation colors, and I will order more fabric swatches, if I can find ones I like. If all goes well, by next week, I will have ordered all the paper I need for invitations and hopefully my BM dresses as well!
