Colour, beautiful colour.

Before Imar and I were even engaged, we were throwing around ideas for a colour scheme. What a stressful thing in itself. Well, I had the idea of yellow, black and white. This seemed cool, but not enough. Then I thought of the over done red, brown/ black and white....beautiful, but not me. Turqoise and brown? Hmmm, nah.

After much thought, Imar came up with the brilliant idea of using the primary AND secondary colours!! LOVE IT! It just takes on the whole 'us' look. We don't want it to be the norm, we want it to be relaxed and natural, and using all 6 colours, to me, is exciting. Red, blue, yellow, orange, green and purple. Bring it on. Now, our wedding is not going to be a circus, let me reassure you, and if it was, well then I guess a clown would need to be hired.

Getting back on track, the photo above, by Christine Meinties, really sums up the colour and wedding for me. Just fun and colourful. We have more photos that reflect our colour scheme, but I will post that later.

Where do I start??

After much thought and inspiration I have decided to gather my thoughts and put it all on my blog. What is the point of having a blog if you don't use it! So, the next few months will be used for wedding ideas and inspiration. The only thing that you won't see on here, how ever, is my dress. Seeing as this is meant to be a secret from Imar :) Really struggling in that department. I just want to tell him!!

Where do I start? This is my biggest question since we got engaged. We faced it and we got engaged, now I think it is time I faced it and started organising this wedding. It is going to be very special. After 5 years, Imar and I feed off each other's ideas, and I like to think that we inspire eachother, so we have come up with, in my opinion, some really cool ideas. Hope you enjoy my posts as the countdown begins. 96 days and counting....

ENGAGED!

so AFTER almost 5 years we are finally engaged!

I can't even begin to tell who ever is reading this how excited and happy I am! Imar is an amazing man and always thinks of me first. He is the love of my life and my best friend. We make eachother happy and we love eachother so much.

He proposed in the most romantic way that I can think of for us, in true Imar style. Completely in his own time and in his own way, always casual :) Ooooooh, so excited!

This is just a short little post to say I am going to start blogging about this whole process and hopfully have more readers while i'm at it. This wedding is truely going to be a celebration of what love is all about!!
