Using gray as one of your wedding colors

Picking your wedding colors is a big decision since so many other things will be affected by this choice - your invitations, bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen socks, napkins, flowers...the list goes on. It always helps to have a good neutral as part of your color pallet. If you have all bold colors you may find that certain accessories are overwhelming such as lime green vests for your groomsmen. Here we have put together some fun color pallets that all incorporate a shade of gray to play as the neutral color. See if any of these inspire you.

So the wedding is over...now what?

I don't know about you, but I went into wedding planning withdrawal shortly after the wedding festivities had ended. I didn't know what to do with all my free time - I was so used to spending hours looking at images on Pinterest, checking things off on my Knot checklist and crafting all the small details for the big day. I needed a fix and wasn't ready to let the memories of the day fade away so I went on a mission to Target and found a beautiful cloth covered banker box that happened to be in one of the wedding colors and decided to make a wedding memory box. I then wondered all over the house and picked up all things wedding related that were haphazardly strewn around asking to be lost in the shuffle - shower cards, a copy of our save the date and invitation, extra sparklers, favors from the shower and the wedding, welcome bags we gave out at the hotels, the wooden chair signs from the wedding dinner, dried flowers from my bouquet and the hub's boutonniere...the list keeps going. Once I had a nice big pile of things I carefully went through each item and placed it in the box stowing away a memory of the day. I have put the box in a safe place and can't wait to dig it out for our one year anniversary to reminisce about what a special day it was.

Daffodil Inspiration

Spring has come early this year and I am not going to complain! I went for a run this morning and noticed that the daffodils are blooming already - they are always a sure sign that the nice weather has arrived.
