any excuse for a color scheme

For the most part, we are settled in at our new house. So you know what that means right? Housewarming party!!!

So I whipped up some invites/announcements and sent them off. I was quite proud of them because let's just say that my photoshop skills are shoddy at best. We've decided that although the inside of our house is pretty friggin fantastic, our newly paved driveway would best accomodate the beast of a pork-product smoker that is catering our party. There's nothing like a kegger with pulled pork and a pretty tablescape. Am I right?

(Thanks for not stalking me)

Of course, like any good Martha-wannabe, I immediately chose a color scheme for our outdoor affair of aqua and red. Next step, google the crap out of the terms "aqua and red party" and "aqua and red wedding" because we all know those crazy knottie brides over at theknot.com have already made dozens of aqua and red "inspiration boards". So thank you fellow detail-obsessed ladies, for doing the work for me. Look how pretty!

And for those of you who have asked about my house tour/pics, we'll have a Virtual Housewarming in the next couple weeks, so go buy me a virtual plant!
