Hi my loves,

Today I thought I'd share some of my ideas for our wedding colour scheme - for those of you uninterested in weddings, look away now! I have a bit of a ramble prepared...

I wouldn't say wedding planning is consuming me at the moment - with just under 7 months to go, I'm still feeling fairly relaxed! Our most pressing need is sorting some kind of invitation; as it falls on a bank holiday in August, we want to give our guests as much warning as possible. We have a few ideas floating around in terms of designs but can't really get started with anything until we have confirmed a schedule for the day with our venue. As such, I'm feeling a bit stuck at the moment as we've pretty much sorted everything else (!) so instead I have been busying myself with collecting decorations and little DIY projects!

I never really had a colour scheme in mind prior to booking our venue - although I was quite taken with the rainbow pastel idea for a time, then mismatched florals!- but upon seeing the farm decided it would suit something simple, yet effective. I am currently in the throes of a five-year-and-counting love affair with rose gold, as you may have noticed! If I recall correctly it began with my discovery of the Sleek blush way back when, and intensified when I began working in jewellery. After much perusing of Pinterest I hit upon the idea of combining soft pinks with hints of metallic copper and gold glitter, helped along by the copper trend emerging in homeware at the moment - it'll be a rose gold dream! I find Pinterest such an indispensable tool for inspiration at the moment, but I've also been trawling through clothing and homeware sites looking for bits and bobs to fit in with my ideas.
