We're having a blue and grey wedding! A turquoisey, tealy, minty, bluey, grey-y wedding!
I was looking through the oh-so-gorgeous blog of Leslie Shewring, A Creative Mint, and when I saw this photo, it was a gasp-out-loud moment. These are the colors we've been wanting all along. When Andy and I got engaged in August, blues and greys were the wedding colors I suggested right away -- the colors of Cleveland in May -- the color of Lake Erie against the ever-present grey sky. But I was having a really hard time defining the colors in my head and figuring out how to put them together... What kind of blues? Andy likes darker ones and I lean more towards aquas, like my engagement ring. I knew I didn't want to be super matchy matchy and say this exact shade of blue, no exceptions! -- but I was getting a little overwhelmed (as I tend to do) when I was trying to decide what would be absolutely perfect. Until I saw this photo. This is it! This is perfect! Now we have a starting point to go from, that we both really like, and I can stop freaking out about picking colors. Phew.
LOVE these colors, Kerry. See? You were right all along, you just needed to visualize how it would come together. So glad you found this inspiration board!
