Hello!
This is my first post so sorry if it's too long!!
Currently in the midst of planning our big day. We have a venue (at last!!) but the problem is that a venue is all we seem to have. Now don't get me wrong, I am not stressed out yet because we have ages to plan; our date is 21st Dec 2014. But my fiance and I sat down the other day and talked about colour schemes and themes for the wedding.
The obvious one being Christmas/Winter theme because the venue will already be decorated up so that has to be incorporated. But I am not sure how that will play along with the colours we want. He loves red and I love teal? With a base colour of white will this work?? Has anyone seen it pulled off before? And do you think it will clash with the rest of the festive colours the venue will be decorated with like golds, burgundy, pine green?
The second theme we talked about was the Sixties? Mainly because I love the era, the look, the music, the make up, the stars!! Amazing. We're not talking a big influence, but we like a band who plays only music from that era (they come with a DJ too so some up to date music will also be played during the bands breaks) and I would love to arrive in a VW Campervan, I will base my make up and, to a certain extent, the style of my dress in that sort or vintage era.
Finally, rustic and outdoors. We are both big outdoors types. We want pine cones and logs and evergreens and herbs (rather than flowers because H2B is allergic to most of them and I don't like flowers much).
Do you think that mixing these three themes will work or is there just too much going on and we need to strip it back?
Any advice or ideas on how to mix them carefully would be brilliant
