One piece of the puzzle has already come together. A major piece considering it's the Honeymoon Suite (which is what I have resigned to calling our bedroom). I have managed to find bedding that we both like and that incorporates the colors from our wedding in a "livable" way.
Our wedding colors were regency purple and antique gold (see inserted pictures). The basic colors (purple and gold) are the colors that represent my husband's fraternity, Omega Psi Phi. I thought they were the perfect colors because they represented something dear to him and because I believe all women look regal in purple and gold.
As luck would have it, I have managed to find an amethyst and gold bedding set (see, below) that is the perfect way for me to bring the wedding inspiration (and hopefully the passion, love, and joy we experienced on that day) into our Honeymoon Suite so that we go to bed every night and wake up every day with, at least, a subconscious reference to our special day.
The comforter set is an amethyst and gold set, not a regency/royal purple set. But I actually think that the lighter color is what makes it work for every day. I also loved that it was a 20 piece set and included 4 window drapes in the gold and 2 valances in the amethyst and gold scroll pattern.
I got the set from Home Shopping Network (HSN) and the only thing I regret is that I didn't purchase it during the 24 hour premier sale. Then it was only $159.99. After that 24 hour period, it went to the regular price of $249.95. I can't believe I missed a sale that good. But still, for the look I wanted and 20 pieces, I decided it was worth the extra money.
Now for the master bath!
