and that pretty much decided our colours for me :-)
Depp red and Ivory it was............................But a family members comment of
"red isnt really you is it"
got me to thinking that they were right so I thought of changing the colours but I really wanted this dress. In the end I decided to add a colour into the mix instead and we had red, ivory and black (I'm ALWAYS in black).
But again I changed my mind as I kept looking at dresses and found loads that I liked (will do another blog about that lol) so I slightly changed things and did black, ivory and red roses instead as our colours/theme!
Have you noticed how people are never happy about your colours being your theme tho??? So when people ask I tend to say our "theme" is.........
A classic modern romance with a vintage twist!
Now that this was decided I got to thinking of centre pieces.
I like all the modern centre pieces you can get these days with the huge martini glasses filled with lights and roses, the tall lily vases with the ostrich feathers coming out of them or even the fish bowls with roses in them
But I LOVEEEEEEEEE the stunning vintage centre pieces using cups and saucers
(Please check out http://www.wedding-studio.co.uk/ for more stunning centre pieces like the last two pictures and also my next blog on this lovely lady)
So after seeing all these things I needed to decide what I wanted .............but how???
Well I want a modern feel with a vintage twist so I'm having black tall lily vases then I'm going to somehow add a vintage feel to using red roses???
I might have to ask Geraldine (the lady who did the last two pictures) to work her magic for me here tho because I'm stuck on how to do this!
So be sure to come back to read how when Ive worked it all out!
This is a great effort for your first blog, its really lovely. Using pics is always a great idea, not only adding interest but gives the reader a better idea of where you are coming from. Like your comments regarding "having a theme". Of course its fine to have a colour as your theme, but I think far more exciting if you combine it with something that "rocks your boat". Your big day will of course revolve around everyone there but let's not forget the two most important people here, having a theme that reflects your style and personality is a lovely touch and as you know we "fly the flag" for innovation.
