here you go!?

Hi ya

To be quite honest with you I think you might be throwing too much at your wedding. You ideally would like a four way colour theme and then diamonds on top. You could run the risk of it being a bit too much.

As a planner I usually restrict the colours to a three way combination unless it's something like a jewel theme or it's a collection of bright colours eg red, orange, yellow, pink etc

Personally, I love Tiffany Blue with diamonds. The themes work well for obvious reasons but it all depends on the colours of your reception room. It doesn't work if you have a bright red swirly carpet and ornate curtains for example, so consider the carpets and curtains when either choosing your theme or vice versa if you are looking for your venue after you've chosen your theme.

I love brown with the blue as a combination

However, you might hate the idea of blue. If you really wanted to go with the brown I would just go with ivory and diamonds and take out the gold.

I think Ruth is right! You don't want too many colours or it will start to look a bit un co-ordinated and I love tiffany blue too!

Hi Hannah

How is married life??! See you can't stay away from hitched. It's part of you though isn't it!

Personally, I'm not sure that gold and diamonds really go together. I'd see gold as a kind of warm colour, that would go well with reds and oranges. Diamonds are more of a "cold" colour, so go well with silvers and blues. When it comes to colours, I think less is definitely more!

I know - I'm terrible!! But I do have a reason - I have at least 2 weddings to help plan over the next year!!! I'm so excited! One of the couples isn't even officially engaged yet!!

Married life is lovely though!! You must be busy at the moment!!

Yup, loving it though. Had another lush wedding on Friday it was just brilliant. Problem now is getting ready for all of the wedding shows coming up and working on all of the weddings. I've just started to take bookings for 2010 now! I can't think past the next few weeks let alone years! Did you see my new website? i'm just waiting on the photos back from the photographer with images of the wedding I used your bunting for. He's being a nightmare, but then he's as busy as me. The photos of the tubs with Gypsohilia and gingham were from the country themed wedding where we used your bunting. It really did look fab. www.finesseplanning.co.uk - second page of the gallery

Love the gingham ribbon! Looks beautiful! I keep seeing ideas that I want for my wedding - but I've already had it!!! Just glad I've got more to help with.

Can't beleive you're already booking for 2010! I guess thats only 2 years though! Glad things are going well.

I know, but as I put under the thread about credit crunch, people are having to save up now. Right, I'm off to bed, totally done in. Speak to you soon

I think the colours would look fine, there are lots of ways to incorporate Diamonds as well.

Something like ythis as place names but add Diamantes around the edge of the card:

Table Centres on mirrors with these Giant Faux Diamonds non Mirrors:

Edible Diamonds on your cakes:

Diamantes added to your flowers:

Thanks girls ....can't believe it is so hard to make a decsion.... i am now thinking about changing the colors just to be able to have the diamonds or do i just scrap the diamonds ...or go for it as would not have alot og=f gold so would mainly be brown and ivory but most of the diamond stuff i have seen ie napkin rings have silver metal and not gold... OMG this is soooo hard... any more ideas??

Hi ya

That's why I wouldn't use the gold, purely because the items I've seen with faux diamonds are on silver and I just wouldn't mix the two together. If you really wanted to go with the brown and ivory I would look at introducing diamonds very simply with sprays of diamante in your flowers, using stick on diamante on stationary and faux diamonds on the tables and something on the cake and that's it. oh, possibly on your dress too.

Whatever you do I'm sure it will be just want you want.
