Although we have to wait for the summer to make any concrete decisions (like the wedding date and location), we have decided on a theme. PEACOCK!
Besides having an awesome color palette that Brady and I both love, the peacock has held symbolic importance in cultures for centuries. As I learned in Rome, the peacock was once the sign of immortality. Peacocks have a very long life span. In ancient times, these exotic birds often outlived humans, when life expectancy was very low. Peacocks were used in art to represent immortality. Brady and I are choosing this to symbolize our immortal love.
So let's get down to the colors. Navy/cerulean blue, teal, purple with an accent of green. Ever since I saw Monsoon Wedding as a teenager, I have always admired Indian weddings for their celebration of colors. I feel this plethora of colors fits our personalities and yet will not look crazy since it is a combination found in nature.
