Tiffany Who?

     So, the first thing I wanted to tackle was the color scheme.  Ever since Mr. Bloom and I talked about having a wedding we decided on white, red, and black.  I think thats the only color he wears and we thought it looked nice.  There it was settled. Easy... Or so I thought.. After we picked our date I was weary of those colors.. everyone does the red and the white thing, its very common. The wedding is in early September (which I feel is more summer than fall).  I just wasn't feeling those colors anymore... My mom and I love purple.. So naturally I went straight for the Lavender... and I love green, so here I thought I had it again.. I started thinking it was too eastery.. I didn't want it to feel like a Spring Fling.. Is choosing colors supposed to be this hard?? Probably not. lol. Then, one night I was at a friends house and by chance my color scheme came to me... She makes bows and was making some at the time and her little daughter was playing with all the ribbon on the floor.  Two pieces caught my eye.. An aqua and an orange ribbon.. I loved it together.  I did make a minor tweak.  When I got home I happened to glance at my Tiffany box and knew that was the color I wanted.  I've been told by many vendors that they usually see it with brown, but they love it with the orange.. 
    Ohh Tiffany.. the problems she causes me!! First off I don't get why many people feel that Tiffany is aqua.  Common misconception I guess... It really should be called Tiffany Green.. It is way more green than it is blue.. So, whenever I ask linen people if they have Tiffany Blue they say yes.  Then I go to see it and its Aqua.  Why did I pick a color that was going to make my life hard?? So, I thought long and hard about changing it to Aqua.. I told my mom and she said, "No! It's too beautiful!" 
     So the next day we went to a fabric store and found the exact color we needed... Hmm.. I guess we are making the table overlays!! haha.  She did find a pretty cute runner for 3.99 online though.. So, she reassured me that this would be okay..
     I got my invitations that I am DIY'ing from paper and more.com and they are perfect.. I bought the pocket folds and the paper.  I made the design and will print them myself.. 
     My FMIL emailed me some cute tiffany blue boxes she found online.  When I went to go by them, the boxes were a dollar and the shipping was twenty dollars!!! So, I found the same ones on the knot (eggshell blue).  When I heard my package came from them, I was gearing myself up for disappointment.  They are going to be wrong, they are not going to work out, its going to be a disaster... When I opened the box and laid my eyes on them I was soooo excited! They were perfect! 
     So, It got me thinking.. maybe Tiffany Blue isn't such a bad color. I'm sure we'll see as times go on.. And there you have it.. my FINAL color scheme: Tiffany Blue, Orange, and Ivory...
