Hi Ladies!

As a lot of you may know, my wedding is September 2010 in Bali… but I'm yet to organise much at all!  I have bought my dress, it is diamond white with a light silver ribbon just under the bust.  I STILL haven't decided 100% on the ceremony or reception venues, it will either be at a resort – just next to the beach or in a little chapel, next to the beach.. so obviously I'm having a beach theme. 

The colours I've been thinking about are Jade, Hot pink, white and silver.  Is this too much colour?  Will these colours even “go” together.  All 3 BM's love the idea of having a jade/turquoise cocktail dress and it would really suit them.  Was then thinking of having pink oriental lilies for myself (if they are in season) and white lilies for the BM's.  Should the guys wear all white?  or White top and grey pants.  (Just shirt and pants, no suits)  I'm after a very beachy, modern and fresh look, but everytime I google my colour theme nothing comes up. 

Just after some suggestions with my theme and attire.  Or any alternate colours that might look better?  pale pink instead of hot pink?  just jade and silver, no pink?? I'm going to struggle with the whole wedding planning as I have zero creativity or fashion sense!

Thanks

The Indonesians love colour Carly so bright beautiful colours will not only complement you but also the surroundings.


Jade sounds very nice – go for some yellows to as the locals use a lot of yellow and pink flowers for festivals etc.

you don't think yellow along with green and pink will be too much?


Or should I just make it all very colourful and tropical??  I don't even know whether I can organise the reception venue theme from here, I wouldn't want to take stuff over on the plane to decorate.. ahh I got no idea where to start.

Maybe I'll just book ceremony and reception venues and then go from there!

One step at a time… and breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the jade, white and silver would be lovely. The hot pink might be a bit too much colour but it depends on how colourful you want your wedding! If the BM's had jade dresses with white flowers and silver accesories that would work. You could have a combinaton of white and green bouquet. Mine was oriential lillies also and as I was having a garden wedding it had a lot of green leavy bits to it. I can find out the names of the flowers if you like.

Any luck on picking the venue? Post a link!

I love the combination of all four colours, with a focus on the Jade, Silver and White.  You could definitely bring the pink through in your flowers and other decorations so that it's flashes of pink rather than anything dominant.  I really don't think that the 4 colours together will be too OTT if you're careful with how much of each colour you have.


I like the idea of the guys wearing grey and white – it'll tie nicely into your silver and white gown – and then they can have either pink flowers or a bit of greenery for their button holes.

Good idea Mrs Melanie about the guys wearing white and grey. The groomsmen at my wedding wore light grey suits with white shirts and green ties and the groom wore all white. They looked fantastic as it was a casual outdoor wedding.


How are you going on deciding Carly?
