So excited....my wedding plans mostly worked out....here's the exclusive

[subaruforestermum]

Ok 2 Bridesmaids....Blondes, so they will be in Hot Pink dresses..

Groom and groomsmen will be in fitted jeans, with longsleeve Black pin stripe shirts and Hot Pink Ties...with Top Hats, and pointed toed shoes...

Tables will be Black cloth with Hot Pink table runner. Chair covers will be alternating Hot Pink and Black.

Centre piece will have suspended Red and Pink heart balloons...a candle in the centre of the table with handcuffs wrapped around it.... (haven't worked out those exact details..but this is what it will consist of).

The wedding cake will be a chocolate mud cake, with chocolate royal icing, a pink ribbon, and vibrant flower arrangement which will match the boquet..

As guest leave they will recieve a box with a mini wedding cake that matches our cake....

Havent picked the location, yet, but it is a garden wedding....and the reception is still unknown....

DF and I sat down and talked about things today....:smiliedance:

What's your honest opinion??? I dont care if you dont like the ideas, say so if thats the case, just want to get others opinons, as we arent sharing details with family, as we dont want them to influence our descisions....

i love it!!!!

[subaruforestermum]

Thanks Originally 'I' had decided on Chocolate brown dresses with the pink, but then, 'we' couldnt think of a colour to put the boys in, cos brown shirts are a bit...blah...so we talked and came up with this.....

We arent the traditional wedding type people..me especially...:devil:.....

[Chunkydunks]

[Skittles]

Yeah DF didnt like the chocolate brown idea....too 70's or 80's apparently...so as a couple we sat down and worked out the plans, and I am impressed....lol...His want was the TOP hats, mine was for them to wear Hot Pink Ties....

You will have to wait until Next year if all goes to plan..... Will be around February or March...Or in the Spring time.....:fingerscrossed: Havent set an official date yet either...lol...

lol thanks...

Yeah totally 'US'....I think its tasteful but yet different and....its going to shock the pants off some of the oldies, but most attending will be friends....so they get us, and will love it....

[bubbleyblossom]

I love it!!! Cant wait for pics lol although as you said it will be a long time!

[Nomsie]

It's so different- not a pale/pastel colour in sight! And the traditionalists will freak at the black table cloths! :laughing:

The cake sounds delicious- I really want some now! :D

Well we started to knuckle down, as we are already half way through this year......:eek:, so only about 8 months to go.....:eek::eek::eek: Which seems to be flying by....

This is what I have in mind for my bridesmaids...only in Hot pink.....

Like the boquet too...though I have the ideal one in my mind....

The dress I am liking for me is on this link http://www.wendymakin.com/subdesigns.asp?parent=1 but you have to scroll through to the MANDY dress....

[Skittles]

thats really cool. Are you going to do the invites in the same colours?

[chefalicious]

sounds fantastic..... the tables sound like it will make great photos! one thing...make sure your brides maids have black chairs and the boys pink.....

one other thing im not sure on is the fitted jeans.....but sounds like you guys are into it:)

Yep....thinking black with Pink stripes, or even a layer of black then a layer of pink...or something like that....

Yeah will make great photos I hope...definately great suggestion with the chairs for the wedding party...thanks for that....we hadnt got that far yet..so thanks fo rthe idea...will look tops...

The fitted jeans, I want nice tidy, darkish denim jeans.....That fit nicely, not those big ones that hang down or are too big or too small....I dont mean like tight fitted to your leg type, just so they fit nicely if that makes sense.... Tones down the 'formalness' of it....and the guys can wear it again, as can the bridesmaids with their dresses....

[subaruforestermum]

oh...and I was thinking maybe the girls could have those classic umbrella's and the guys with canes....:D

Havent spoken to DF about that one though.....just a thought I just had.

[westerner]

Only thing i don't like is the red and pink balloons..
Red and pink clash and should never be together..

I would do pink and black or pink and pearl white..

I was thinking that too...I'm not sure what colour they will look like when they are blown up though..

The heart shaped ones only come in red or pink....but 2 sizes, so maybe I should do it that way...with the 2 different sizes but just in Pink....

Thanks for your imput...:thumbsup:

[Cupcake]

Oh sounds great Suby...I love it :yelclap:
I had Hot Pink & candy...mixed candy everywhere :)
My BM's wore hot pink & the guys had a hot pink gerbera with a white top black pants & black jacket....it was a fun wedding but still had class ;)
I am sure your day will be perfect....I love love love planning a wedding.

Thanks cupcake:hugs:..... The what 'we' want part has been really good and easy...its the reception side of thing, that is driving me mad...So many choices, so many prices.... And I totally see what people mean about them upping the prices for weddings...it is soooo ridiculous.....

And finding the right song...as we didnt really date, or we werent listening to the radio at any significant milestone in our relationship....So we are mixing it up a bit.....

[westerner]

Just pink but in two different sizes would look great..
Or you could even do the pink hearts with small sized pearl white balloons.. (The more i think about the black the more i think they would look grey when blown up..)

[chefalicious]

:) me again:)

the umbrellas and that make a great thing but.... not for group photos.... ill link a pic of my sil wedding in a moment but it pushes people out of the frame of the group shot.... youll see what i mean when i post the pic......

I know a Balloon Company here near FL let me know as I know one of the workers.

PS Pink and Red do not go lol. PS love the Idea of Brown Dresses I saw some nice ones recently can't remember where but they were fited on the top with a little ruffle, then flowed nicely into a long dress.

PS you don't need to spend a fortune on Invites I can help, I have a colour printer and used to work years ago for a printer doing the invites etc. I am sure my skills are there somewhere in my memory bank.

awww thanks....I love the excitement, and the anticipation I have created... I thought for sure I would have got some...ARE YOU SERIOUS? comments, which would have been cool, but I'm yet to encounter that.

It's a far way away, ie next year, but time is flying by so quickly.......super fast...lol..So I am a little OMG, as we have no savings for it at the moment.....due to unforeseeable circumstance...but we'll get there...

[Mischief]

I love that your guests will get a mini cake! Thats so cool! :)
