Colors
Cobalt blue, cream, and of course classic white. Blue and white will be easy, but I'm still trying to figure out where I can incorporate the cream, other than the bridesmaids' sashes. White is just so much easier to find, but I think the cream warms up the whole scheme.
Inspiration
"I'll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady."
--Jackie Kennedy
Firstly, Jackie Kennedy is herself inspiring. She put family first. She was ladylike, graceful, dignified, and elegant. She was well-traveled, well-read, intelligent, creative, charming, and diplomatic. Stylish and passionate, she was also a get-things-done kind of woman.
Her wedding also inspires me design-wise. Funny story-- I couldn't find any images that matched the ones in my head... So AFTER I got my dress, explained the bouquet to my florist, and got the bridesmaids' dresses, I found this picture of Jackie Kennedy's wedding. Descriptions would have been made so much easier if I had had this on hand earlier! This is pretty much exactly what I had in mind.
