Colour Combinations
Trying to decide between Green, Yellow, Ivory and Brown or Green, Blue, Ivory and Brown. At home, David is about ready to suffocate me with a pillow if I don’t stop talking about colours as though they are the most important thing in the world.
There is also the other colour combination I like of Burnt Orange, Yellow, Ivory and Brown but I have not yet mentioned it to David, I don’t know how he feels about Orange. Actually, I don’t know how I feel about Orange either.
Yesterday, I spent hours looking at different inspiration boards and it only served to make me *less* sure of what I want. Lots of weddings have done amazing things with different colour combinations.
It seems as though the most important thing is to stick to your palette after you have chosen it. Which makes it feel like a very important decision. When I first asked the girls to be Bridesmaids I told them they would all be in black, but now I think they will be in different shades of Brown. Latte and Chocolate depending on hair colour. I have not told them the plan has evolved yet! I might even have them in different colours depending on palette. With different bouquets.
In our house, the main colour combination is Green, Blue and Brown. This makes me think that colour combination is very “us”.
But at the moment it just doesn’t feel very bright.

Our Proposal Story
Email sent to Friends and Family:
Happy new year from Koh Samui in Thailand! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, I just wanted to tell you David and I are now engaged!
It was absolutely amazing and so romantic and so perfect and I love my husband to be!
We went out to Poppies for their Gala Dinner - Poppies is the best restaurant on the island - and just before hand David was very quiet and seemed ashen faced and I was wondering what was wrong (I thought his tummy was upset!), then he looked at his watch and asked the waiter to take a photo of us, so we both pulled in for a photo - he looked at the photo and said "oh wait can you please take one more?" so the waiter stood back to take another one, and David pushed his chair back, and then pulled a box out of his pocket (I kind of started to twig on at this point) and then got down on one knee (I think the waiter was just as shocked as I was by now) and got this big cheeky grin on his face, and said "Will you marry me?" and I said "Yes of course!" and hugged him and he said "I love you" and then I jumped up and kissed him, and then the entire restaurant broke out in applause.
It was right on 9pm Koh Samui time - so MIDNIGHT Brisbane time, so after I said yes David said "Happy Australian New Year!"
My heart was hammering in my chest, so hard the whole time and then David was so happy and relieved (I could not believe how nervous he was lol). and it was mid way between the 2nd and third course, so I was so excited I could barely eat the rest of the meal!
Then we went and let off fireworks and lanterns on the beach!
Just an amazing start to the year!
