Inspiration

I've talked about dates, venues, plane tickets, dresses, but I have yet to discuss the look and feel of the wedding. Originally I was thinking maybe tropical colors, since we are getting married in Hawaii and all. Like lime green and teal. Or maybe something more "funky" like red and light blue.
















But since we're getting married at a Japanese temple that is red, it made sense to make red our main color (Mr. Mek wasn't feelin' the red and blue). I had a hard time deciding what color to use to accent with red. I've thought of red and black (too formal for us), red and gray, red and fuchsia. Everyday I change my mind, but I think I'm leaning towards the red and fuchsia. My inspiration board:

Source: I unfortunately don't remember where I retrieved all the images, some were from wedding bee, the knot, paper-source, and style me pretty.

So let me explain my inspiration board. I want classy and a lil' vintage (ie. the peep toe shoes), with Japanese/Asian flair (think cherry blossoms, peonies, obi sashes, paper lanterns, etc.). I do want some originality/funk though too. Maybe paper flower bouquets instead of the usual flower bouquets. We'll play more on that idea later.

How difficult was it for you to decide your wedding "look"? Did you change your mind a million times like I did?
