With a change of venue comes a change of style and palette. Luckily, our historic building is very plain so our chocolate bridesmaid dresses will go quite nicely with the surrounding environment. I've done a few inspiration boards playing with some color, but like one reader commented it's going to come down to what my florist can provide me.

I've been leaning towards chocolate, ivory & pale yellow. I was inspired by the two following pictures.

I really love the simple ivory with deep chocolate ribbon for programs. Matthew and I will be creating our own stationery (save-the-dates, invitations, programs, seating cards and thank you cards) on our trusty Gocco. I definitely love the idea of having a cohesive look to all of our stationery, especially since it will be "hand-made."

I like these save the dates, created by heatherjeany. The colors are obviously off, but I like the calendar idea and we'd probably attach a picture with a magnet.


I have about a month off in December after exams before my last semester of law school, so I think I'll use that month to create the majority of our stationery! I'm so excited!
