Blush, Champagne, Charcoal & White.

My Inspiration!

OK, so I am a little obsessed with everything above.  I put together this little collage-- most the pictures from theKnot (duh).  

Most of you know that one of my favorite things in life is cake.  Period.  So, the cake at my wedding will be amazing.  HyVee makes it really good.  Paige, Mom and I went to a wedding expo, like three years ago, and we tried HyVee carrot cake.  THE BEST.  I have to have buttercream frosting; it is to die for.  

Besides the cake, I am doing charcoal tuxes for the men, blush pink dresses for the bridesmaids, and white, white, white everywhere else!  Accents being champagne and blush.  I want the decorations to be a mix between Paul and me: like a pretty country charm feeling-- a little rugged, but eloquent.

Moving on...

Not sure if you are all familiar with Slippery's Restaurant and Bar in Wabasha.  You know, from Grumpy Old Men??  Somehow I want to incorporate the movie, at least a little bit.  Here is a collection of quotes I love from the movie:

Max Goldman: Do me a favor. Put your lip over your head... and swallow. 

Grandpa Gustafson: [after a swig of an alcoholic beverage] Breakfast. 

Max Goldman: Hey dickhead you win the lottery? 

Max Goldman: Did you win the Lottery Dickhead?
John Gustafson: Enjoy your shower Smart A$$?

(This one is my favorite)

John Gustafson: [Bragging about his sexual escapades] I've laid more pipe in this town than Wabasha Plumbing. 

Ariel Truax: Gay or straight? John Gustafson: Huh? Ariel Truax: Heterosexual or homosexual? John Gustafson: Geez Louise! Ariel Truax: Well, it's a perfectly legitimate question. 
John Gustafson: Well, maybe in California, but here in Minnesota... Who-ho-ho-ho! 

So maybe writing quotes for seating cards or favors is too much?  Maybe too offensive?  I'll think of something!  If you have any ideas let me know.

Best!
