blooms galore
I hopped online tonight to take a look at some bouquet ideas. As I mentoned earlier, I'm looking for something with a wide variety of shades of purple.
This first one, is from the 2000 Fall issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. I like the idea of the glitter (or maybe flocked) pine cones, but I would have to try to track down a copy of this issue so I can get a closer look and see if it looks too Christmas-ie.
The second one is from the 2006 Fall issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. I like the variety of blooms and also shades of purple in this bouquet, but I would also like a few blooms to be even deeper in color.
The final bouquet is from The Knot's website. Some of the flowers in this are a little too pink for my color palate, but I really like the texture the spider mums add.
Purple-themed bouquets aren't as common as I would have thought, and I really want to try to stay away from artificial looking colors. Maybe also incorporate some wild flowers as well.

a pop of color
A couple of my bridesmaids and I went to David's Bridal last week to look at bridesmaid dresses, and I totally stumbled across a third color to add to my palate. David's calls it Wysteria and it's a sort of dusty, deep lilac. I think it adds some interest to the cream and charcoal theme and both my bridesmaids really liked it.
With the addition of purple to the wedding, I'm thinking about a boquet that has all different tones of purple in it from really dark to light.
From the start, I've wanted to do a bright colored shoe with my dress, and I think a nice dark plum shoe will look great with my ivory dress. I found these shoes at zappos.com and I love the color and style. The only thing I'll have to figure out is if the heel is too tall. Since I'm above average height, if the hem is perfect while I'm flat-footed, I'll just have to go with flats.
As soon as my dress comes in, I'll have to see if I can do heels, I'm going to need as much time trying to adjust to the discomfort as possible!
