colorful weddings: part II

a new mexico wedding. the colors of this wedding are fantastic. reds, oranges and a hint of turquoise. i especially like the sting of lights across the aisle. oh, those big bulbs.

red board

i seem to be unable to post regularly. it is not that i'm that busy with the planning because i haven't done much more crafting or planning. is suppose it comes in waves.

i love everything about this board. but mostly i like the red. snippet and ink.

more red and blue - enjoy!

notions

French General has some of the best notions around. if you want to be inspired spend about an hour thumbing/clicking through the store looking for little treasures. i looked through most of the store and picked out the turquoise and red things that i could find. how beautiful they are. i put them together in this little inspiration board. if you don't have hours to spend, don't go to the website! once you start clicking you will not stop. it is a little treasure trove of cute, shiny things.

i ordered these serving napkins for what reason i do not know. they are pretty little opaque paper serving napkins with a charming little printed red border. i thought i might be able to use them as save the date cards or some other fun little thing. i could used them as place settings. i could write some quote on them for each setting. i could use them for their purpose, to serve a bit of cake or sweet. help me out - i don't know what to use them for, but i have 150 of them. leave me a comment if you have an idea. need to add to budget expenses if i use them. don't let me forget.

check out this darling set of fisherman and fisherwoman. these would make really cute cake toppers. especially if the couple has a connection to the sea or is getting married by the sea. check out French General's blog, the Warp and the Weft.

turquoise and red

have you ever noticed that once you focus your attention on something that you previously haven't, you begin to see that thing everywhere? kind of like the old game of "punch buggy" where you get to punch your younger brothers or older sister if you see a VW bug. it has been like that for me lately. since i choose turquoise and red as wedding colors, i've been seeing them everywhere. like for example, my bathroom. i didn't even realize that these were the colors of my bathroom until i was in the shower yesterday! so here are two pics of my jewelry dishes sitting on the counter. i wonder where i got the idea that i like turquoise and red together...hmm.
