My favorite color is orange. If you know me, you know I drive a bright orange car and I love it. Erika's favorite color is blue and yes, her car is blue as well. For our wedding we surprised ourselves. We are thinking pink. The funny thing is I’m not a huge fan of pink, but a long time ago we thought pink, black and silver would be fabulous. It has been hard at times to envision those colors together especially because we are not overly “girly”…but wait, before you question it, we are feminine and appreciate being so. So watch it!

Pink: Not baby pink, hot pink, sexy pink, light pink, dark pink, fuchsia, but a beautiful mix of pink that we like to call watermelon. Well, Erika found a piece of this watermelon hued fabric that is A M A Z I N G…

Black: easy. Just the classic and ever-dependable color.

Silver: Not shiny light gray silver, and not dark charcoal gray silver…but silver, like the jewelry. We don’t want silver ribbons, silver curly thingys, just silver accents throughout.

Our fairy tale will be budget-friendly and creative. I’ve received fabulous ideas from friends and family for centerpieces, flowers, cake, décor, table settings, etc. One of my favorite suggestions came from my cousin Lindsey: Utilize the “cake” or cupcakes in our centerpieces and stack the cupcakes on nice trays and then sprinkle the table with edible glitter or flower petals! LOVE IT!

Erika and I get our own small cake with two hot divas on top.

I found some awesome cakes that would look super cute in cupcake form…I am so excited.

The pieces of the puzzle are beginning to form. Hmmmm....what will our fairy tale look like?

Think pink!
