I love orange…Yes, I do!!

I always have and I always will. I’ve loved orange since I was 12 years old and the only time you could get orange things was Halloween.

I’m not sure why I love the color orange so much, maybe because it’s out of the norm. When everyone’s favorite color was blue or green or pink, I wanted to stand out and be different…

I remember being a freshman in high school and carrying my backpack and an orange purse from Old Navy that I got on clearance for like $5.00 or something…it was actually kinda cute (in my head anyways…hey leave me alone, I was 13 and ecstatic that there was actually something ORANGE out there!!! ) I went to school, SUPER proud of my purse and my friends looked at me like I was holding Frankenstein’s head on a string…they gasped “WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?!” (being the smart ass that I am) I replied “Uhhh, clothes…DUH.” They shook their heads and pointed to my delightful orange purse and said exclaimed ” NO, you’re PURSE!!” I smile when I think of those times, when orange wasn’t “cool” to carry, but I didn’t care…and I still really don’t…

Fast forward to this day and age…I’m older, wiser (ok, ok…give me a little credit!!) and I still LOVE the color orange….In fact, sitting in front of me right now is my orange watch, 3 orange USB drives, and an orange letter opener…BWHAHAHAHA! While I do love love love the color orange, I rarely WEAR orange shirts/shoes/pants (even I have a limit)

So, what’s this long rambling post about how much I love the color orange have to do with anything besides proclaiming my love for the citrus-y fun color??

Well, it’s one of my wedding colors silly!!! (Those that know me are shaking their heads right about now…)

Of course it’s  one of my colors, it’s been my favorite color since I was 12, I HAVE to incorporate it in the biggest day of my life!!

So without further ado, my wedding “inspiration board”

So, what do you think blog readers? (I tried to come up with a cutesy name for you, blog-o-peeps, blog nation, but as you can see, I clearly suck…)

I realize there’s a lot of “I” and “my” in this post as opposed to “we” and “our”, but Mike has given me cart blanche to do the wedding how I like…but I would really like to incorporate HIS favorite color of PURPLE in somewhere…anyone have any suggestions??

What do you think of my wedding colors??
