We’ve been planning our wedding for almost a year now, and we still have about 7 months to go. Through this time, the plans have been growing and changing, as we’ve gone on a rollercoaster ride from themes, to favors, to guestbooks. The one thing that has stayed constant throughout it all is our color scheme.

I wanted something that Mr. Stiletto could jump on board with. No “dusty rose” or “perfect peach” for us. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good shade of pink, and sometimes when I see a picture of a lush pink bouquet, a little bit of jealousy creeps in. But overall, I wanted to keep it high contrast, fresh and modern. And, of course, on a small budget, a black and white color scheme works wonders. There’s no need to be matching certain shades of a specific color that only I really care about. What’s there to match when it comes to black and white?!

For a little fun, we’re incorporating some green into the mix. Some may call it “emerald” and others “kelly”, but in my vocabulary, it’s “grass”. A bright pop of grass green here and there is exactly what I think will make this wedding fun, without going overboard.

Our inspiration board continues to change day in and day out, but the time is starting to tick down (finally!) to our September 2009 wedding, and I’m frazzled just thinking about the work to be done in the months ahead!
