Snap...I'm just they same...twice Ive changed my mind about the colours I want........but I think I am settled now...it was originally to be lilac & gold...now it is different shades of lilac, purple & pink.....plus I am having lavender & rose scented tea lights burning at the reception, with bowls of pot pourri dotted around...can you imagine the scent mingling around the room?

Comments please.

that is fabulous! You know how certain songs and smells remind you of things, well if your having scented items at your reception keep a load so that you can burn the scents and keep the pot pouri and use them on your anniversary.......it will take you back to the day and remind you of it

Hi there - popular colour schemes I already have booked for next year are purple, lilac (which was also huge this year!), deep burgundy, hot pink and minty green. Silver is also featured strongly for next year and aqua.

Minty green sounds fab.......... everytime i settle on a colour scheme I hear some other colour being banded about and my mind starts to wander

don't give up!
If you really want to have mint green then go for it, some shades can look amazing especially teamed with the right flowers, the best thing to do is go to a couple of bridal shops who will have swatches of colours and can help you find the colour you are looking for. I've seen some fantasic shades of green in the most gorgeous material.

I love blue. It is the colour of the ocean, my fiancees eyes. I dont think blue will ever be out of date.
my flowers are probably going to be blue hydrangeas, blush roses and ivy.

For an inexpensive center piece i will pile some blue glass beads around a pillar candle or smaller votives. the whole room will shimmer like the sun on water.
IKEA is a fab place for candles and stuff for weddings-btw!!!

I JUST CHANGED MY COLOURS, FROM BEIGES AND GOLDS TO BURNT ORANGE FOR MY 3 BRIDESMAIDS AND IVORY FOR MY FLOWERGIRL SO SHE WILL BE THE SAME AS ME. ITS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I HAD ORIGINALLY PICKED. Very Happy

I definitely didn't want lilac cos it's my fave colour and I didn't want to be predictable BUT when the girls tried different colours on it just had to be lilac. Guess I'm a lost cause Laughing

For my eldest daughter,who is 9, but is as tall as a 14 year old, and my cbmaid they are wearing 2 piece, the top has a glitter top with a piece that wraps to the side ( so hard to describe ) similar to my dress, my 2 younger girls are wearing the full frill effect dresses with a wrap front, all courtesy of wedding belles in Blackburn. the older girls dresses were hanging in the shop and they looked awful but as soon as thwy tried them on they changed totally, I have never seen a dress change so much, so one piece of advice, dont judge a dress till you have seen it on, I'm glad they tried them on because they look ab fab.
