About Me: In all my dreams of the man I'd someday marry, I never pictured anyone as perfect for me as Mr. Tulip. So now we just have to make it through the craziness of the wedding and the moving in together! I love crafts, sewing, jewelry making, and photography, so am looking forward to this chance for DIY fun. When not wedding planning, I'm playing with our dog and 4 cats, Ebay shopping, or watching too much TV (often simultaneously!).
Color Palettes — Beyond The Wedding
January 10th, 2008 @ 1:49 pm by Mrs. Tulip
We didn’t have much trouble coming up with a color palette for the wedding. But we’ve started thinking about combining houses after the wedding, and it turns out there are so many more color palettes to consider!
For a long time I worried about the kitchen. We both have a LOT of kitchen goods, and it makes more sense to keep most of what we’ve got as opposed to registering for something new. But my color scheme is “mostly blue”, while Mr. T’s is “yellow and green.” It seemed too different.
And then, one day, I was putting away one of my bowls and one of his bowls (I’ve got a few of his extras) and discovered this:
The three colors actually work quite well together! And, as it turned out when I looked in my cupboard, there was more yellow/green than I originally realized:
The only trouble? Mr. T opposes the florals. And I can’t blame him; he’s a guy. I’d be sad to see my florals go, but truth is, I got them at a thrift store so it’s no big financial loss.
But without the florals, we’d lose the multi-color pieces that tie everything together…. So here’s a question for all of you who have been out there poring over registries: Anyone have suggestions for how we could tie together aqua/yellow/green without a floral?
