I actually spent the better portion of a week debating this. Which colors really define "us" as a couple? I had nooooo idea. I thought for a quick second about using brown and sage green, since those are the colors we chose to decorate our entire apartment with (from the drapes to the bedspread, right down to the shower curtain and hand towels!) But after an afternoon of staring at inspiration photos of green and brown weddings, I came to the conclusion that we were just brown and greened out. I had seen enough brown and green to last me a lifetime! We needed something new, something with some pop and bright color to it. Something that said..."us".
It was during our first month of engagement that I finally had it. Matthew was away for business training, and we spoke on the phone each night in place of getting to actually see each other. It was on one such phone call that inspiration struck! We were going back and forth with the cheesy "get to know you...what's my favorite" questions. When we came to color, I said his favorite was brown. It's true. He wears it all the time. Every chance he gets. He said mine was pink. I looked around...it's true! I not only own a pleathora of pink items, but most of what I wear consists of some shade of pink. And so it was decided: a deep shade of pink, and chocolate brown would be our colors! And it is completely "us".
