I'm back - with new plans and new date (sort of)

Katscamel, 3 April, 2011 at 11:49 Posted on Planning 0 6

Well how things change. As some of you will know, we were planning to get married in Tanzania where I am now living in August this year and even had the Panto dress to wear.

Due to a number of different factors - the main one being the fact my dad isn't well enough to travel we have postponed it to next year and will come back to the UK (which looking at the paperwork needed will be a complete nightmare) and try and get a June date - I can hear you all laughing now - June you say - without booking 500 years in advance.....ha ha ha

Anyway, now need your help with colour ideas etc...... as OH is a safari guide we thought it'd be nice to bring in elements of safari/africa but think the whole leopard print is a bit OTT so what colours would you suggest? I was thinking along the lines of black and gold (the colour of the label of my fave beer) but........ as we're hoping for a summer wedding think it might be a bit.....dark. Another option would be pink and gold -- actually his idea which I'm quite impressed with but don't really want a pink thats too girlie - also my MOH isn't into pink and neither are my dad and brother.

I know you all have some really good ideas so HELP please.

    You could have ivory with khaki green & gold maybe. That would look nice I think

    And I know you said animal print is OTT but how awesome is this cake???

    Tinkerbelly - we saw the cake yesterday and loved it, if we go for the safari them then this would be the cake for us.

    Rebecca, thanks for that, def dont want khaki, but brown a possibilty - you dont think it's not summery enough?

    Failing that..... how about this as a look for the MOH/BMs - and for me of course- but a longer version with lots of sparly bits LOL

    It's still do-able. You said your OH is a Safari guide? Could you get married there? (not in amongst the Lions like ?)
