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:

omg I love it and I love the car! My MOH did sage when she got married and it looked great!

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. [...]

About Me: I am obsessed with all things crafty, especially scrapbooking, knitting, jewelry-making & cake decorating. I also love being an aunt, wrapping presents, watching football (Go Steelers!), shopping at yard sales and consignment stores, procrastinating, singing and learning to play the guitar. When it comes to wedding planning, I'm excited about working on DIY projects and finding creative ways to stay under budget. Of course, nothing is more exciting to me than knowing that the wonderful Mr. Deviled Egg will be my husband.
