I know I haven’t yet found my venue… but I can’t help thinking about wedding colors already! I’ve always been partial to some type of black and white (maybe with an accent color) but my fiance loves blue and would like some type of blue incorporated, so I’m contemplating navy and fuschia. The girls over at stylemepretty.com (great site btw!) have created some really pretty and inspiring collages. Here are a few that I was drawn to… what do you think?

I love the sophistication of navy (a little variance from the expected black) with a cheery pink. If I do use navy and fuschia, I would want my ‘maids to wear navy dresses and carry hot pink/bright magenta bouquets.

I love purple. It is probably my favorite color. Maybe do a black and white using a royal blue (since I have to use some type of blue) as an accent? Sort of like the one after the next.

 

i love hamburglar-style (that’s what my fiance calls it) black and white:

Hillsborough Racquet Club is quaint but elegant and located in a quiet and private spot. Easy parking in a lot right in the front and a gorgeous reception area made it easy to envision throwing a fabulous party at this location. The main reception area holds about 160, with additional space in an adjoining room as well as outside in the courtyard/patio area. They limit weddings to one per weekend.

We checked it out very briefly as another wedding was finishing up so we didn’t get that close of a look, but from the outside, it is scenic and pretty. If I remember correctly, the inside looked a little dark.

When we first started our wedding planning, I was really excited about this site because it offers pretty much everything as a single package. The location is near the 280 and in a scenic area with lots of trees. The building itself is very basic and the wedding portion of the building is located in a somewhat public area where golfers and visitors can easily see or walk around your reception area. This is a great option for a busy couple who does not have much time to plan and wants a one stop package for their wedding.
