Wedding Colors Revealed!

By now everyone that knows us has received their wedding invitation.  The reveal of the wedding colors is out. Most will notice the gold and silver snowflakes and the silver bell all in front of a charcoal backgound.  Basically our colors are gold and silver. I'm using the dark charcoal color as a "base color". I thought the deepness of the charcoal would best highlight the gold and silver. I think I considered nearly every color that was out there. I probably even considered a few that have yet to be invented...;)

It was time consuming to make the invitations but I love the finished product. I also loved that my groom picked up on the use of the silver bell. That silver bell will be an added theme at the reception. We won't go crazy with the silver bells but a few here and there. 

So why gold and silver? I loved the idea of how easy it would be to get decor items in December to go with it. I also like things to match and making the ballroom that we've rented blend well with our colors was important to me. I didn't want colors that might clash with the carpet in the ballroom.  The gold and silver color scheme was the first one I thought of. It seemed Christmasy, wintery, yet it was different/unique, not in your face Christmas red and green. Even while flirting with other color schemes this is the one I kept coming back to. It felt perfect for us.....why?...because I couldn't lose sight of the fact that silver is one of the Dallas Cowboys colors and gold is one of ASU's colors....something Texas, something Arizona! I'd also like to point out the AZ Cardinal's logo features a cardinal with somewhat of a golden-toned beak. Lol!
