Introductions!

Inspiration Board: Blue/Teal, Orange, Damask

I only discovered WBC yesterday, and I'm already hooked. Being an artist, color is very important to me and I've been searching for great online places to browse by wedding colors. After my initial excitement, I quickly found myself sucked into the community WBC offers brides.

So here I am, starting my own wedding blog!

A brief summary of myself: I have been dating my high school sweetheart for over 5.5 years, and on December 3, 2009 he popped the question. We both recently graduated college and are very excited to see where the road takes us together. Our wedding date is tentatively set for June 17 or 18, 2009. We plan on using black and white (possibly damask) with one or two bright accent colors. My FH is Japanese American and I have always been a fan of Japanese art, so we are going to have a subtle Asian influence in the decor. Still working on the kinks in my mind to make sure everything flows.

I am a freelance illustrator and designer ( http://www.lullafly.com ) so I'm psyched to design my invitations and work on DIY decor projects. Right now, though, my bigest challenge is settling on a color scheme. I LOVE color. Lovelovelovelove. And loving color, I am in love with so many combinations. So it's going to be really hard to choose. To help my FH visualize them, and to allow alleviate my urge to use them all I'm focusing on making color inspiration boards.

This is the first of several, focusing in blue/teal and orange with damask accents.
