Wedding ideas!?

i love the rock theme - that would be awesome but my fiance would not go for it either. i'm planning an october wedding - i want to get married at a local museum actually, but we haven't looked to far into it yet, the wedding is 2 yrs away, so we have some time lol. i'd love to hear what you end up doing...are you going to be doing any fall type flowers or anything?

I also got married in October... I had a Lilo and Stitch/Hawaiian theme. We actually got married in Disney so they were able to make my Polynesian menu happen. And I somehow made it work with my colors... navy blue and silver.

That sounds really pretty! My fiance is colorblind, so, he doesn't have to agree with the colors lol. I will let you know what I decide to go with. We are getting married in an actual church. Our religion (Greek Orthodox) Doesn't recognize the marriage if it isn't on sanctified grounds. Kind of a bummer, because we actually wanted to do an extreme wedding, like on a hot air balloon! I would love to get married on a beach, or Cinderella's castle in Disneyland, or Disneyworld. But, I will settle for the reception or honeymoon at someplace awesome!

You could always have a small, legal/religious ceremony at the church with just immediate family , and then have the "Wedding Ceremony" at a Castle, or Hot Air Balloon, or wherever you decide.

I love the idea of the Disney fairytale theme... so many ways to incorporate that theme...
They have Disney invitations.
Castle cake/Pumpkin grooms cake
Each table at the reception could have a different fairy tale center piece... Aladdin's magic carpet, Cinderella's glass slipper,Sleeping Beauty's apple, a fish bowl for The Little Mermaid, teapot and candleabra for Beauty and the Beast..., you get the picture
If your guests want you to kiss - make them sing a song from one of the fairytales (or quote a line from the movie).
Leave the church in a horse drawn carriage
If you're REALLY good - you could even do table linens to make the tables look like the bottom of each Disney princesses dress.
If you're doing favors... you cold do Disney Christmas ornaments or anything that says "Happile Ever After" on them.

I loved planning my wedding... I did everything myself from invitations to flowers. I made handmade chocolates for favors, put together "guest baskets" for all of my out of town guests... it was a blast. Our theme was Chocolate and Coffee... my whole wedding was done in browns, tan, creams and whites. My flowers were the Leonidas rose and other shades of cream and orange. Whatever you do... make it your own... that's what makes it memorable for you and for everyone else who shares in your day with you!

This sounds amazing, You should be a wedding planner!!!!!

I am planning my wedding for next may. I am planning for itto be relaxed and fresh colours with white and green as the main colours. It all depends on the individual, we dont havea high budget and had a couple of rough years so, were having it low key with an amazing honeymoon!!

I got married just over six months ago. We didn't have a theme really, our colours were claret and ivory. We got married in the 500 year old village church where my Mum is buried and i went as a child, and CofE weddings are the same as they have been for hundreds of years. We had all the candles lit and the church was filled with flowers in our colours and it looked wonderful. I was given away by my son (he is 17) and my two daughters (21 and 18) were my bridesmaids, they wore claret dresses and the men in the Wedding party wore tails but we did not go for top hats, they all had ivory waistcoats and claret cravats. I had an Italian satin dress in ivory with very delicate claret embroidery and crystals on the bodice and along the chapel length train, I also had claret lacing up the back.I had black baccara roses (they are a deep claret red) and ivory akito roses as well as freesia and oriental lilies. We had 80 people to the ceremony and the 3 hymns we chose were Morning has broken, then O perfect love and finally I vow to thee my country. I had The Prince of Denmark's march as my processional (Trumpet voluntary) and then we had The Wedding march from a Midsummer Nights dream by Mendelssohn to leave by. I designed and printed all the Order of Services and we gave one to everyone as they had messages in and the words to the hymns and the readings etc also we gave everyone confetti cones filled with ivory and claret rose petals. We went to the Manor house in the village (we had permission from the Lord of the Village) and had our photographs taken there in the fabulous award winning gardens and on the village green, we then travelled to the 900 year old Castle in the village we live in to have more photographs taken (the one on my tracker in one of those) We then travelled in our lovely 1946 vintage Riley to the Reception venue were we had bucks fizz in the gardens and mingled with our guests before the Wedding breakfast. All the tables were named rather than numbered, they were given names of places that are important to us and to at least some of the guests of the table, I had made all the table centre pieces myself, we had ivory and claret roses and foliage and little storm lanterns with candles in. We had white linen and chair covers with claret sashes, we also had real claret rose petals sprinkled on the tables. All the guests had personalised menus and a thank you note, our favours were the traditional 5, but we did not go for almonds but had dragees instead, also we made donations to a breast cancer charity in memory of my late Mum and gave all the female guests a little personalised envelope with a note in explaining this and also an enamel pink ribbon pin, then we made donations to the British Heart Foundation in memory of Bill's late Dad and did the same thing with all the male guests, who got a BHF pin. People were very moved by this, it made our missing loved ones part of our day (we also lit a candle for them in the Church) and people wore their pins and we can see them in the photographs. We had a sit down 3 course meal and then champagne for the toasts and we had four speeches ( I made one too!!) and cut the cake just in time for the 150 evening guests to arrive. We had dancing and general wonderfulness until the next day and we all had a fabulous time. We had a buffet in the evening and served the cakes (plain, fruit and chocolate) as part of that. Please take a look at my pictures on my page if you like. I wish you every happiness and lots of joy.
