What is more fun than choosing your wedding colors? I just love seeing what brides choose! Some brides know immediately what colors they want to use. They have been picturing the wedding
since they were little girls. Others are just beginning to explore the possibilities. Factors, such as the season, formality, and venue will need to be considered. For example, our church has deep red carpeting and dark red cushioned seating. My oldest daughter chose celadon green and white as her main colors, and the bridesmaids wore black dresses. (A very popular color for maids now.) The youngest daughter had planned on marrying in the fall and wanted orange and gold, with just a touch of black. Even though she changed her date to May, those colors stuck and were beautiful against the stained glass windows of the church where she was married. Personally, I picked a purple dress for that wedding using one of the colors that stood out to me in the stained glass. There are lots of free and easy ways to choose colors, so let this be a fun part of the planning process
. You might want to make an inspiration board. You can make one in just a manner of minutes using a site like mosaic maker. There are also several bloggers who create awesome boards for you. I love The Perfect Palette. I had some ribbon sashes I wanted to reuse, so I decided to create wedding garters. Using The Perfect Palette and thinking about spring and summer, I came up with some pretty sweet models that I put in a mosaic for you. They make me smile. I hope they will do the same for a bride. Now I am trying to give them all proper names, you know, like "Blue Skies", "I Do", "Sweetheart", you get the idea. But I really hope my creative readers will throw some suggestions my way!

I will be putting these in The Green Hanger Shop very soon, but first a giveaway.
If you would like to own one of the garters for yourself or your friend, tell me so in your comment.
You don't have to choose which one you want just yet. I will pick someone (with random.org) on January 31, 2010 (8:00 p.m. EST)
