I think I was fooling myself. I loved the color combination and the streamline look of my inspiration photos but there was something miss.
Both the Mister and I are hopeless romantics. We love long walks through the city or country, cooking dinner and dining by candle light, we are committed to date nights (every weekend for the past 4 years and counting) and can't sleep without each other.
This romanticism was lacking in simple and clean scheme. Sure I could inject candles, crystal and champagne but my vision was cold. And even worse, I was not in love with this scheme.
So how could I keep our favorite colors and incorporate the decor of the venue but have the soft, glowing, romantic ambiance I dream of?
Two words: Add pink! Pink is my runner-up favorite color.
So if I soften the green...
Turn white into cream...
And add a hint of peachy-pink...
POOF! We have a color scheme.
I love the vintage feel of the peachy-pinks and creams and the green made me instantly think of a garden. And I love the magic of twilight (referring to the time of day but love the book!) and the glow of candles.
With that, our theme was born: Twilight in a Vintage Garden.
Sure, I can't tell you if a vintage garden really exist but the idea of channeling a Parisian garden circa 1920 is exactly what I was looking for. And it is kind of like me, right down to my engagement ring.
Do you have a theme? How did you come up with it?
