color schemes & career goals

{I was inspired by the dress in the upper left hand corner, and thought it would be a gorgeous color palette for a spring or summer wedding}

Ever since I can remember, I have loved experimenting with color schemes. I absolutely love putting color schemes together for weddings, interiors, and fashion. For a while, I've been thinking about how I could pursue this love of mine, and somehow make it into more than just a hobby.

I'm beginning to put together a portfolio with different color schemes I create. My dream is to someday start my own business and be a wedding decorator and florist. This spring and summer, I have the opportunity of shadowing my cousin, Jodi Beals, who is an amazing wedding decorator and florist. She has been doing weddings on the side for many years, and is extremely talented. She was the vision and designer behind the Poole wedding, which has been recognized and awarded in many style magazines and blogs {such as Style Me Pretty}. She's probably mad that I'm bragging about her, but she is so talented, and I can't wait to learn from her this spring and summer! I'm excited to pursue what I love! I'll be posting different color scheme ideas, and weddings I help my cousin with, throughout these next few months as I develop a portfolio and gain experience. I am beyond thrilled, and I can't wait to see where this goes. If I fail... I fail... but if I don't at least try, I know I'll regret it! No one gets anywhere by living in their comfort zone, right?
