Wordle to your motha!

So, I just came across this fun little website called Wordle. Maybe I'm way out of touch, but this is news to me and I love it! You can either enter in a bunch of words or link to your blog and Wordle will pull out your most frequently used words and arrange them like this...

It's kind of small, so be sure to click on it to see all the inane words I use on this blog! :) On a separate note, how could "orange" be bigger than "pink"? Don't I say pink, like, a lot? I mean, it is my favorite color! *sigh* I'll just take solace in the fact that it's the second largest word up there... :)

Ciao,

Flower Ideas

I had to write this down before I forget! We won't be meeting with our florist again until a few weeks before the wedding, so I wanted to make sure I remember this!

I've been struggling to figure out a way to incorporate our pink and orange colors into our flowers. You see, I'm dead set on having an all pink bouquet. I don't know why, but I'm just not as much of a fan of multi-colored bouquets. I want to carry a hot pink ball of flowers down the aisle!
With my pink shoes and white dress, I won't be carrying a lick of orange. So, I think it would be cute if Steve were decked out in orange!
Hehe, okay...maybe not that much orange! Maybe an orange boutonniere, white vest, and orange pocket square? Or perhaps an orange vest and white pocket square?

Then, for the bridesmaids, who will be wearing a black dress, black shoes, and pink sash (again, no orange in the outfit), they could carry orange flowers. The orange bouquets will be used as centerpieces on the head table during dinner, so we would have a pink runner across the front of the head table, similar to this picture...

For the groomsmen (sorry to jump from ceremony to reception then back to ceremony!), they would probably wear orange vests with pink boutonnieres, sort of flip-flopping the colors of the bridesmaids.

I've been contemplating this whole flower/color dilemma for quite some time now, but I think I have it sorted out!

Pink and Orange Color Scheme

Pink & Orange Wedding Inspiration - by seashell127 on Polyvore.com

How does a couple go from purple/blue/silver to pink/orange for a wedding color scheme? Oh, just a simple realization that the classic winter colors weren't "us".

My favorite color is pink. Steve's favorite color is orange. Put the together and what do have you got? Bibbity bobbity - wedding colors! Kind of an obvious choice, now that you think about it...

My mom wasn't fond of the color combo when she first heard about it, but I think we have her convinced!

I love them because I think they fit my bubbly personality. And Steve's just happy because he gets to have his orange KTM dirtbike at the reception...
Boys and their toys... :)

So, there you have it - the mystery behind our wedding colors! :)

Ciao!
