It was nearly impossible for me to commit to a color scheme. Whenever I would see pictures from a wedding that I loved I would think, “Yes! I’ll do that” only to see another one a few minutes later and completely change my mind. There are just so many ideas and gorgeous color combinations out there! Since we’ll be near a lake I originally thought I would go with a nautical theme, something like this:

Even now, seeing that picture makes me want to change my mind again. But then one day during my obsessive internet surfing for color schemes, I found this:

Green is my favorite color but it never would have occured to me to pair it with black and white. I agonized a lot over whether it was too “harsh” a color scheme for a wedding, but ultimately decided that I love it too much to go in any other direction. The decision was further fueled by these pictures:

We won’t make any final decisions on our linens for a few months, but I think I will go with a slightly more subtle shade of green.
How did you decide on a color scheme? Anyone else opting for black and white?
