Let Them Eat (Anything But) Cake

Dan and I are salt people. We don't particularly like many sweets at all, and neither of us are fans of cake. In fact we can't remember a single time we ate cake at someone elses wedding.

So with our personal preferences in mind we've decided not to have a cake...or cupcakes, or any version of a cake like substance.

Since we don't want to leave those sugar loving people out to dry (I do have a pastry chef for a sister-in-law after all), we've decided to do something fun for dessert that we both enjoy.

No decisions have been made yet, but I'm leaning towards an old favorite, ice cream sandwiches!

Spinning the Color Wheel

So apparently you can't have a wedding without defining yourself into a color scheme and overall theme..so I'm jumping on the bandwagon and have decided...drumroll please...our colors are navy blue and lime green!

I'm not exactly sure about the theme yet though, I'm envisioning a mixture of clean lines, wood & trees with a mix of funk mixed in. If you're a bit unsure of what that looks like, join the club. And if you do know what I'm talking about, please fill me in with photos...

This pic is the closest I've found to what I'm looking for:
