Swatches in Sunflowers

I never imagined that a one inch by one inch square of fabric could be so exciting, but believe me it can. A couple of days ago, my fabric swatches from j. crew arrived wrapped neatly in heavy weight textured paper. I can tell that the wedding spell is beginning to affect me and I can't resist./div>

Even my fiance is in on the fun. He has quite the green thumb and has taken on the task of growing some flowers to get an idea of what's out there and what we both like. We made a trip to Lowe's, not the first of many, and picked out some beautiful varieties of sunflowers. I am intent on making my wedding rose-free. If you need an explanation other than the merely trying to escape some tradition, simply watch Maria Full of Grace for a small peek into how horrible the flower industry is.

Tangent over.

The flowers have sprouted and the swatches are here. I think we have made the life changing decisions of what our colors will be (heavy sarcasm intended).

Drum roll please... Green and Gold!

I am just a little reluctant on my choice due to the fact that they are my junior high schools colors and I keep getting flashbacks of heavy, highly shiny pom-poms.That's it for now and hopefully I can muster up another entry with a little more spice.
