Wedding Inspiration: Colors & Centerpieces

Several weeks ago I shared with you our wonderful wedding venue. Since finding the venue I've scoured wedding blogs every wedding blog and magazine around. I am in love with Southern Weddings Magazine's blog. Obsessed (to those of you who know me, this is not a shock). I also love Martha Stewart Weddings. The most recent magazine, with a cover featuring lots of bling (with a ring that looks almost identical to mine!) is a must for any planner, do-it-your-selfer or otherwise. 

I've made few decisions thus far, but am starting to move in that direction. I envision a simple, classic, southern evening with lots of details reflecting CSB and me. 

Here's the color scheme I'm leaning toward:

I love green + navy. And hydrangeas. And polka dots. 

And ruffles:

I've seen some beautiful, simple floral arrangements using apples (and some REALLY tacky ones I'm avoiding). I'm thinking: Tall, clear glass vases half-way filled with apples with some tall branches combined with tall white flowers (of sorts? I am still new to the flower thing). 

Something like this + apples:

Combined with some short, simple arrangements for the tables:

My plan, blog-wise is to do a wedding blog once a week, at minimum, with different ideas, inspirations, and DIY projects I undertake. Please leave comments on what ya like and suggestions!
