Mrs. Lemon, Los Angeles/Monterey Age and Occupation in 2006: 26, Graduate Student (Public Policy) Fiance's Age and Occupation in 2006: 29, Environmental Consultant Engagement Date: April 7, 2006 Wedding Date: July 7, 2007 Venue: Rosary Chapel & Monterey Marriott, Monterey, CA About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!

Scheming with Color

Our color scheme evolved long ago in conversations with my Maid of Honor sometime in singlehood before Mr. Lemon arrived. It went something like, “Dude! When I get married, I’m totally going to have a blue and gold wedding! Or… you can have a blue wedding and I’ll have a gold one and we’ll match!”

Fast forward to post-proposal conversations about color, where I suggested a citrus combination of our favorite colors of yellow and orange, and Mr. Lemon exclaimed, “But I always thought it was going to be blue and gold?” In order to assure that I wasn’t breaking any crazy color rules, I went searching for the color forecasts for Summer 2007 from Fashiontrendsetter.com. And low and behold…it not only works, but it’s perfect for the season!

It’s come in very handy so far, especially when picking out blue items, and hopefully with 9 choices I can make everything stick to it!

just don’t have too much navy blue and gold together - those are michigan colors (unless of course, you guys are michigan fans).

this is off topic but i vaguely remember someone talking about pin/spot lights and they had a link of where to buy them. can you email me the link please?

my best friend is doing pale blue and pale yellow. v hard to find things in just those two colors, but if it’s part of a trend, maybe there’s hope! (especially since i’m doing all of her stationary and decor.)
