Color Inspiration...

We wanted something dark yet elegant and beautiful and nothing has that effect but my favorite color BLACK and his favorite color RED (well we are going more for a dark red/burgundy)! 

White,Black and Red.

Ashlee Simpson was a BIG inspiration!

Avril Lavigne had an amazing wedding too.

Centerpieces

We would like to use red orchids.

I must say this is my FAVORITE!!!! I love the color of the chairs, the linens, and the centerpieces are amazing! This how I hope/wish the reception looks like.

I really like the branchy look, haven't found a pic with dark roses. But if we decided to do something like this it would include roses, maybe calla lilies, and orchids I also like hydrangeas. Also I'd like more crystals.

Brides Bouquet

This is exactly what I want as a bouquet. Dark Calla Lilies in the center and all around black magic roses.  

Best Person Bouquet

(We decided we didn't want a best man or a MOH, we wanted a best person. FI cousin will have the honor to do both.)

Bride's Dresses

The 2 top dresses found on www.theknot.com

*Found pic on a bride magazine at a beauty parlor, and the hair stylist kept eye balling me I think she suspected I wanted to rip the page, so sadly I could only take a pic with my cell phone.

The following 2 dresses are Eve of Milady, since I've started looking at dresses has been my favorite designer. There is a 3rd dress which is from the 2009 collection and I can't find a pic, that's why I haven't posted it, but once I'm available to I will add to my favs. Style E1. www.eveofmilady.com

Shoes

I haven't worn heels for awhile, so I'm debating if I'm going to wear heels or flats or even some cute converse or DC's. All I know there going to be red but as soon as I get them I will post.)

Groom's Attire

Fi wants to wear all black, not a bow tie like shown above though. He wants a black maybe a red tie that's still something he's not sure of. His shoes will be black and red etnies.

Cake or Cupcakes?!?!

I don't know why but I love this cake. Its so colorful and it looks like so much fun :) But...FI said no because it doesn't go with the dark themed but I refuse to give up.
