Wedding Wednesday: Color Me Blue

I don't know if it was my recent birthday or what... but I've been in a SERIOUS funk this week.  I started feeling cranky about my birthday last week - and by the time Sunday rolled around, I was just over it.  I don't care about my birthday and I was so stressed over random things that I was a pill to be around.

Needless to say, my 26th year of life is starting on a blah note... it can only go up from here, right?

-----------------------------------
We've hit a bit of a stalling point in terms of wedding planning.  Mostly because I can't wrap my brain around one simple thing:  how in the heck do you choose wedding colors?!
Is it supposed to be your favorite color?  His favorite color?  Your favorite color TOGETHER?
I'm sure there are 245 Knot.com articles about this... but I just can't seem to answer the question for myself.
On one hand, I am a simple, classic (classy!) girl.  And therefore black and white seems the simplest of all.... but then again, my BFF had black dresses at her December wedding.  And that would be stealing.


I love me some pink, especially some hot pink, but who forces their bridesmaids to wear bright pink?  Especially for a September wedding?  Seems like cruel and unusual punishment.  Kinda. 

Fall weddings call for awesome autumnal colors... but like hell am I sending my maids down the aisle in burnt orange.  No thank you.

There is one other color... blue, cobalt blue.  It's been my color for about 6 years now, maybe longer.  

This photo was taken in college with my college BFFs on a campus photo-shoot.  We were all grumpy by the time we got rolling... but, as usual, I treasure the pictures.  And thus, my signature color was born.

I haven't really found a blue as amazing as this one since that Gap t-shirt... which of course my dad shrunk in the dryer shortly after this photo.

I'm not sure if the blue even looks that good in the picture, or if my hair just looks rather awesome from the good wind.  Ha.

So, I'm heavily leaning toward some kind of blue frock... but does that mean the rest of my wedding needs to be blue-blue-blue?  I'm not one to follow rules very well.... so I need your help.

Oh wedding experts of the internet.  Or, just my BFF strangers from the internet.  Either-or.

Was your wedding matched down to a T?  How did you pick your colors?

Am I overthinking this whole situation?

Duh. 

Happy Wednesday!
