Hi everyone

Holly-Jayne, 10 February, 2010 at 21:32 Posted on Planning 0 71

Hiya,

I am a newbie to hitched and wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself as I am sure to be spending most of my time on here trying to organise everything!!

We are getting married next August (2011) and have started to plan things now (am I starting too early!!) Our theme is Tiffany or Robins Egg Blue and White.

Have any of you helped to plan/planning a wedding with this theme or have any advice as it would be much appreciated and any tips on where is cheap to buy these colours from ?

Found some lovely invites and had the samples delivered this morning but am just pricing up whether or not it would be cheaper to make them myself (we are on a fairly tight budget but not ridiculously tight luckily)

Also my scatter crystals for the tables arrived yesterday (my first wedding purchase) which made me very excited cos it feels like its actually happening then!!

Anyways sorry to go on just love talking about weddings (OH not always so interested although bless him I do go on a lot about it!!) Hope you are all getting on well with your planning.

Holly-Jayne xx

    Hi Holly-Jayne,

    Welcome to Hitched! It's never too early to plan a wedding in my opinion ?

    I have not done or seen this colour scheme so will be fun to watch it all come together.... But there are plenty of Hitchers on here that will give you some fantastic ideas/suggestions they are so creative and helpful!

    You have had the mock ups and know what price you will be looking from that person/company but before you commit to anything just have another scout around plus work out what it would cost making your own and then weigh up your options.

    It's fun when things start to arrive!!!! yay!! My OH is the same he says tell him when, where, what time and what to wear and he will see me there lol

    Anyway Congratulations and Welcome!!

    Hi there and a warm welcome to the forum. Congratulations too. It's never to early to plan and besides 2011 will be here before you know it - enjoy the excitement! I'm sure there are a lot of us that had their dream wedding their mind since the age of 10 I know I did ? but I'm just like the 27 Dresses film (not that I've been a bm 27 times) but just adore weddings - I had to wait 16 years for mine with my now hubby! I think he said he needed the time to make sure I was the right one - cheek.

    We're all friendly and love pic flashes and everyone is so very helpful and hitched is a great source for information and recommendations!

    Hiya

    Thank you fellow hitchers! I have made a kind of inspiration board but the picture quality isn't too great but heres the kinda thing i'd like - hope you like it too!

    Having crisp white linen on the tables with white linen chairs and tiffany sashes. White napkins and tiffany colour square favour boxes (not sure what to put inside yet though) and a tiffany and white table number and aqua crystals on scattered on the tables.

    Centerpieces will be glass bowls with aqua glass beads/stones in the bottom - filled 3/4 way up and have white floating candles on the top.

    A tiffany style card box and the same theme on my homemade table planner to match my invites.

    Thanks for looking and being so welcoming ?

    Hi Ladies, thank you glad you like my colours ?

    All being well I am hoping to have both the ceremony and reception at the Ramada Grange, Winterbourne.

    My favour boxes samples came today from the favour store but they are not the right colours one of them is a sky blue and the other more of a minty greeny turquiose. So if anyone sees any tiffany, aqua, or robin egg blue (everywhere seems to call it something different!!) would you let me know?

    Many thanks

    HJ xx

    Hello and welcome is the colour of the cake on your avatar your theme?

    Hi 3d Jewellery, the theme is similar to my avatar although I would like it to resemble the tiffany colours more. So it would have more aqua in the blue if that makes sense.

    My mum and I are making the cake, dresses, flowers and stationery (if I can't find a good colour match from a stockist) so hopefully once I have found the closest match I will be able to co-ordinate everything properly with everything in the correct shade.

    Here is a picture of the original tiffany colours I would like to use if possible:

    Great hope it helps, also if you go down the tiffany's theme route you could also have the diamond ring confetti/table decorations (from www.confetti.co.uk) they will look great with the table crystals! i'm having those too!! you can attach them to favour boxes as well or scatter them on tables

    Wow! Thank you Sherrie!

    Thats great - loads of lovely pics there and some great ideas.

    The favour boxes in the second lot of pictures in the "Inspired by Tiffanys & Co." are EXACTLY what I am after - please tell me you know where I can buy them from?

    Or if anyone has seen any like this? I have been looking everywhere and no where seems to have the right colour of type of material or shape of box. These are PERFECT!

    Much thanks Sherrie xxx

    Try these:

    http://www.thefairytaleweddingco.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?pID=1f3e8912-f02f-443e-8618-04c73239997e

    Alternatively you could use white boxes & then tie with Tiffany Blue Ribbon
