Hi everyone! This is Vivian, Nycia's former wedding assistant. I am so excited to be guest-blogging on Nycia's lovely blog! After assisting Nycia at weddings, I could not wait to plan all the little details of my own wedding, which will be held in in Dallas in early September.
Choosing the wedding colors was one of the first things I did when I started planning. I used ColorBlender to help me decide which color combination I liked best. (ColorBlender is also great for deciding on color combos for interior decorating.) After contemplating blues, greens, pinks, reds, and neutrals, I have finally settled on white with touches of reds. Red is the color of love, and it's also a traditional wedding color in both Chinese and Indian cultures. Plus, I think a white backdrop will give the modern, minimalist feel I am going for. It also doesn't hurt that most venues come with white linens, so I don't have to incur the extra cost of renting additional linens.
Rather than using a lot of flowers, I am thinking of decorating with red delicious apples, cranberries, and maybe pomegranates. Here is a mock centerpiece I was trying out with a rose Navreet had given me for Valentine's Day. These were the only apples I had on hand, but I will get redder ones for the actual centerpieces.
