John and I had a hard time picking out colours for our wedding. I initially proposed the idea of purple and orange to him about a month ago and he did not like it. When I asked what he didn't like about it he said it was the orange. So I let him hum and haw over it for a while and eventually we decided on the colours (by talking about centerpieces) and they are... purple and orange (I guess it was the wrong colour of orange).
Some inspiration for our centerpieces came from these photos...
We haven't picked exactly what kinds of flowers are going to be in them... I think John said some wispy kind of looking orange ones... a few purple, white (probably babies breath), and a bunch of green. There is going to be one special touch that is unique to us that John wanted to include from the beginning (I just helped him come up with a more elegant way of including that special touch)
As for the cake... we asked my sister early on if she would be willing to do our wedding cake for us and so we kind of had to have an idea of what kind of cake we wanted early on. So, we looked up some wedding cakes online (without fondant because lets be honest, who actually enjoys that stuff?) so we sent her these 2 pictures of cakes that we liked.

My sister said she could make us 2 smaller cakes instead of one large cake so that we could both have our way on this one but then I mentioned to John that no one would believe that he wanted the fancier looking cake.
In the end we are going with my choice of cake.
Why?
Because John said he cared more about the centerpieces then the cake.
We haven't decided on a flavour of cake yet... once we spot a great deal on cake mixes is when we'll have to decide on that one.
