Decor Elegant and Romantic with Hints of Chinese
Color Scheme
Periwinkle, Plum, Light Gold, and Dark Red as accent color
Color Palette


I've changed my color scheme SO many times.  I *think* this is it.  Yeah, I am pretty sure.  I hope.  Thanks to my good friend, smarmoofus, for whipping up the above palette for me.

Light Gold - I love metallic colors so I know I MUST have some kind of metallic color as one of my wedding colors.  S prefers gold over silver, so gold it is! 
Periwinkle - I love both blue and purple and being someone who can't decide between the two, I've always been drawn to periwinkle.
African Violet - Periwinkle is just too hard of a color to wear. lol
Dark Red - I want to keep a hint of red in the wedding to keep the traditional Chinese wedding color in it - it's a celebratory color!

 



Inspiration Boards

I couldn't find any premade inspiration boards with my color scheme so this is the preliminary board I made with polyvore just to see how the colors would look together.  The pictures were limited but this was the best I could do at the time.

 

This is the inspiration board I made using Bridal Canvas with pictures I collected.  This board is an inspiration for the color pallete only and I wish I could make one with the feel of the style of the wedding I envision in my head.  It's really hard finding the right pictures!  Credit clockwise: Martha Stwart Pulled-Sugar Ribbon Cake, The Knot - Purple and Blue, Enzoani Love A7, flute glasses - Bridal Canvas, hydrangea centerpiece, Ivory and Periwinkle Rose and Hydrangea Pomander by Etsy seller EmiciBridal, dresses in my wedding colors (I photoshoped), gold leaves centerpiece, BCBG Nellie. 



Flowers and Centerpieces
I like the flowers and the arrangement of this bouquet but I don't think plumeria would be easy to find where we live.


Miscellaneous
Guest Book/Scroll - With Chinese brocade border.  Anyone know where to get one like this?
