Orange makes me happy

Soooooooo….we are mailing out wedding invites today. It’s a bit like snail mailing…only ten times scarier.

We’re going with a blue and orange theme for our seaside wedding. I drew some coral like flowers and made up some postcard invites..nothing too fancy. I also found some orange envelopes to match our cards.

When I think of orange and blue, I think of some of my favourite things:

- a summer sunset
- chilled orange crush
- orange poppyseed cake
- fresh salmon
- blue m&ms
- blue candy floss
- the ocean!

What’s your favourite orange and blue?

    If you don’t mind me asking, How did you do the invitations? I want to make my own and like the simple beauty of yours. I dont want (and cant afford) overdone looking ones.
