Maize and Mist

It has been hard for me to decide on colors. I like colors, I like ‘em all. Do I really care what other people wear or look like? No. But somebody once upon a time said that the bride had to pick dresses for her friends and that the color palette for the entire wedding would thusly be decided. No pressure, right?

Wrong, because have you ever seen an ugly bridesmaid’s dress? Have you almost laughed out loud at a beige and hot pink concoction matching the cake, tablecloths, napkins, flowers and cummerbunds? I have, and I will have no one feeling the same way about my bridesmaids and my napkins. Poor napkins, they have it hard enough as it is. Oh, and poor bridesmaids too.

So, thinking about the summer, it is safe to say beige is out of the question. So are most dark colors. And red, or anything that looks best in a) a company cocktail party or b) a formal. Or c) a prom. Nothing prom-y please. We’re going with a yellow and a blue-green, “maize” and “mist” if you want to get technical. And if you are going to vomit at my color choice just do it now and save us from seeing your lunch come up on MY big day.
