Help Me Girlies!!!

[soinlove]

Okay I know you girls are really lovely and I turned into a confused bride very easily so I am coming to you for help choosing what flowers to have for my ceremony and also reception venue centrepieces!

I am trusting the lovely Jen won't mind me posting my websites as a point of reference (fingers crossed!)

OK this is my venue ---> The Olive Tree Resturant

Now remember my Reception is DAY time...11:30am - 4pm but from the look of photos on the website the photos were taken during the day, so that gives an accurate idea of what it will look like.

Our "bridal table" will be 6 people, although we are only having 1 bridesmaid and 1 best man, we think it's a nice touch to have their partners sit with them, so 6 all up

NOW..... flowers (decided I want flower centrepieces as it's day time, instead of candlebras)

OK these are the flowers I "like"
tulips and roses
phealonphis (SP! Lol) Orchids - and basically I don't know what else so feel free to make suggestions

I like a lot of designs off this website ----> Creative Impressions - Unique wedding floral designs including bouquets, churches, reception and custom floralcreations.

This is my wedding website---> Our Wedding Website if you go under "our vendors" photos of our ceremony location (The Old Tea Pavillion, Kings Park) will pop up.

Sorry this post is so long, and if nobody can be bothered looking into it or replying thats fine as I know it is a bit detailed and boring..... I am just having trouble deciding and I would love opinions of what would flow well with my ceremony venue AND reception venue..... and all the other choices I have made

If you have read this the whole way through, you really must be bored today...hehehe! :smile:

I think everything you've chosen so far seems to have a really classic, vintage, elegant look from the garden wedding at the pavillion to the Olive Tree, even your transport. To me it screams roses - classic, vintage and elegant.

Being a lunch reception I think your table centrepieces shouldn't be to over the top though. Once again just classy and elegant.


Just my thoughts......

I agree. Have you thought of being a little quirky and adding olive branch as some green foliage in your bouquet?

Awesome...some REALLY good ideas.

And it seems flowers do a lot of screaming (hehe just a little joke!)

Thanks, sometimes you need an outside perspective

I could only think "elegant and old world" but "classic, vintage, elegant" is also words I was looking for to describe my theme....
I feel like the choices have tied in well so far, and I don't want to clash it IYKWIM

Chev (or anyone else) any ideas of colours? I was imagining a pink and green theme (if you have seen justrowbees invites of another website ...think that).... but the inside of the convertible is red ...and the flowers on the cake (Ruby from the glory box) is red, but i can probably get them to change it to pink

you girls are so patient, and the best help xx

This was ~Catherine~ from here's cake. It's the same as your Ruby but with different coloured flowers. I think it's absolutely gorgeous and squeals elegance and class. It would suit your theme beautifully and not be too 'over the top' for a lunch time reception. The touch of red would match the car and you could use a green ribbon if you wanted to tie that in to it all.

You could 'steal' ~Catherine~'s bouquet too!!!
