You’re probably thinking, “That’s awesome, Miss Oatmeal. Great pictures. But I still have no idea what your wedding colors are.” Well, here they are. I can’t remember the thought process behind choosing these; I just all of a sudden had colors. I had colors! That made the wedding so official to me. Because the first thing everyone asked me at the beginning of the engagement was, “What are your colors?” Well, that and “When are you going to have babies???” Yikes.

Navy, Yellow, Gray

Let me break it down for you. My main ladies will be wearing navy dresses and yellow shoes of their choice. This was very important to me for a couple of reasons:

1. I wanted each of them to feel comfortable and be able to express her personal style.
2. Each girl can spend however much she’d like on her dress and shoes, as long as they’re navy and yellow, respectively.
3. And basically, I love mis-matchy goodness.

So it should look something like this, but replace the matching dresses with mismatched ones. So really, it won’t look anything like this.

Some of the gals have gotten their dresses, while others haven’t.* I’m not at all stressed out about leaving the decision up to them. I completely trust all five ladies, and with everyone’s incredible fashion sense, I know they won’t disappoint. As for the table decor, don’t worry…I have no plans to make it an overwhelming display of yellow. I haven’t found a single picture of a table using navy and yellow that doesn’t make me want to throw up. Exaggeration. But really, most of the pictures I’ve come across are just overkill in my opinion. But I have a few tricks up my sleeve! You’ll just have to wait and see.

So, what do think of my color choices? I’m really hoping that what I’m envisioning will materialize into something beautiful and fun. Was it hard for you to decide on your color scheme, or was it an easy decision?

*Caution to those out there considering giving their bridesmaids full reign…Bridesmaid Oatmeal Leslie has bought and exchanged at least six different navy dresses since February. So I’m not getting attached to any dress she shows me. I love that girl.
