Question: What’s green, made in 1948, has wheels, and is cushy like a couch when you sit in it?
Answer: The inspiration for our wedding. My Dad’s Kaiser.
The car and Daddy Deviled Egg
My dad purchased this car a few years ago. It came with a near original paint job (the original owner noticed some chipping a couple of years after purchase and had the company repaint it) and my dad had the interior re-upholstered, making a ride in the backseat as comfy as sitting on a couch.
I love how this car looks, and even before I was engaged I thought it would make the perfect wedding day transportation. With its unique shade of green, it would work well for a springtime May wedding. This car instantly became the inspiration for the main color of the wedding and I can’t wait to ride in it on the big day.
With the car in mind, I created this inspiration board to help us visualize:

Beautiful! We had a sage green theme for a May Pittsburgh wedding as well, so obviously I think it’s a great idea!
Yay! Someone else doing green. Actually, picture #5 was a big part of my inspiration! We are doing greens and pale turquoise. The bm’s are all wearing different styles of kelly green dresses, because me fiance’ didn’t like the multi-tonal look. Bummer. Love your inspiration!
omg I love it and I love the car! My MOH did sage when she got married and it looked great!
Inspiration pops up in funny places! 
I love that you are inspired by your dad’s car. The inspiration board is great!
Big car love!
I love the different shades in your inspiration board - well done!
Your inspiration board is pretty much my dream wedding (when i actually get engaged ;))
I LOVE all shades of green, especially the one you’ve chosen…it’s my favorite!
Your lucky your dad has a nice vintage car like that…ive been looking for something similar in blue…but in Philadelphia, rentals are way too expensive for vintage cars! But i was thinking of renting a nice blue convertable from a car rental place. I found beautiful blue hydrangeas that I fell in love with and loved everything blue after that!
[...] Seems like the best place to go is an Alfred Angelo store because they have a variety of styles and plenty of sizes for the girls to try on. Plus, their Celadon color is the closest match to my dad’s car. [...]
[...] I love how that car looks in the photo! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures from Ticia! I think it will be [...]
[...] I was into oranges and yellows. With wedding planning, I became obsessed with the perfect shade of green. Now, I’ve moved on to the ever-popular Martha Stewart blue and red [...]
