Color Indecision

I walked away from a childhood dream. We searched and searched and finally found our venue. With this decision made, we started to contemplate more specific details like our color palette.

Before I had envisioned a black and white affair, but as I stood in our open, airy conservatory looking up at the Murano chandelier, I started to get a different vibe.

I felt like I was at that transitional point in the movie Pleasantville, when previously black and white objects began to change and develop vibrant colors.

Oh, the preppy, modern beauty of navy and fuchsia! It gives off such a carefree, yet classic feeling. However, I put together this inspiration board before we reworked our contract with the Royal Park. Previously, our reception was supposed to be in their ballroom, which has neutral-colored decor. I was smitten with the idea of adding a pop of color, especially if we paired it with some snazzy uplighting:

With both ceremony and reception now occurring in the same room, I was uncertain about having a blaze of color in such a small space. I brought my concerns up to Mr. Tartlet, who wholeheartedly agreed. Time to go back to the drawing board!

Anyone else out there seriously indecisive about their colors?

My colors have changed at least 4 times since we got engaged! They’ve stayed constant for about 3 weeks now so they might be staying now! But I know the feeling. I keep seeing these amazing inspiration boards in different colors and it makes me want to change mine. So many hard decisions!

I don’t have a set of colors..rather a palette of tones ranging from blush pink to dusty pink with shades of grey and silver thrown in.

Yes! I went through several rounds of color choices before finally settling on mine.

I wasn’t necessarily indecisive about my colors, but it took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted. I also had to factor in Mr. L’s opinion which provided some limitations. Years before I even thought of getting married I had imagined using shades of blue in navy and turquoise. Clearly, I jumped from that vision right away.

I love the idea of the color popping. I have no idea what our colors are. I like wine and burgundy and maybe cocoa…and then my brain fizzles out and I hide in the corner and cry. Good luck with your color indecision.
