Colors was one of the next items to be decided. I wanted to get colors out of the way so that it could be established throughout the whole planning process. I had all different ideas on colors at first, thinking fall colors such as oranges and browns, but I wanted my girls to be in a color they would like to wear, and honestly, who looks good in orange? Not me for one. Then I came across this picture:

And fell in love! Cranberry! Why didn't I think of such a season appropriate color myself! Then I proceeded to second guess myself. I thought I needed two colors, a main color and an accent color. I searched all over the web trying to find a color that went with this perfect cranberry color that I envisioned. I even had myself thinking of orange and cranberry for a while, based on this picture:
However, I realized that the cranberry in my head and orange did not really go well together, so I let that combination go as much as I loved the above pumpkin centerpiece. Finally, sitting down at my computer one afternoon, I thought back to my original inspiration photo... Finally seeing my two colors. Cranberry and white! So simple, and to me, very classy.
Funny how sometimes we don't see what is right in front of us because we are to preoccupied with other ideas. If I had just taken the time to really look at the picture of dresses that I had come to covet, I would have realized that my search for colors was done!
What were your colors and how did you choose them?
