We think a lot alike, it seems :)

My wedding is also in October. We're using cream, chocolate brown, dark red & rust orange. Also keeping it minimal on the flowers. Since it will be an evening wedding with an outdoor ceremony, we'll have lots of candles there, and at the reception, we're playing on the fall theme.

Ours is an afternoon ceremony. There's a few hanging lanterns in the chapel so I also decided to use lanterns in the reception. We're in a large interior hall so there's little to no natural light coming in from what I remember. I think the candles are great for fall regardless of the time of day!

I agree - candles just give off a great vibe :D

They do. Just be aware of where you're placing them on the tables. At my sister's wedding someone flipped the cloth napkin off the bread basket and it went right into a candle and caught fire! Luckily it was put out quickly, but it was a little scary to hear someone yell "FIRE!" at a wedding! ;)

I think I have some kind of Wedding Planning ADHD. As soon as I think "oh that's what we'll do at the ceremony/reception" I see something else and can't make up my mind. Like today, I saw someone's pics of a lantern centerpiece but with flowers around the base and now I do't know what I want. I need a single solid vision!!

For my wedding, which was May of last year, we did pink, green & white. The pink wasn't just a baby pastel pink and the green wasn't kelly green. I think they called it "celadon". Here are some links to pictures with colors/flowers/etc...

I had a December wedding, and my colors were red and gold. We had white linens with gold candelabras with candles on the tables. I carried red flowers and the bridesmaids wore red and carried white flowers. We left the Christmas decorations that were up in the venue (very understated) and rented a simple wrought-iron alterpiece.

how pretty and girly! i dont know how you got him to agree with all that pink but its beautiful!

our wedding colors are sage green, navy blue and cream. i'm so anti-white that im actually wearing a sage green dress, just to spice things up a bit!

I feel so old or guy-ish or something looking through this thread. In my many years, I've never heard of a wedding with a "theme" other than "we're getting married."

Those photos are just beautiful! I just love that color combination!

Hmm... maybe I'm a closet DZ?

lmao! that is the "underlying" theme!

I remember a girl describing her wedding saying something like "We're doing an 'Under the Sea' theme"...and I was thinking: Are you going to dye your hair red and wear a seashell bra and a green coulmn skirt with a flair at the bottom?

Our "theme" was "Hey, we live 800 miles away from most of our family and they're coming in December so let's just get married while they're all going to be here anyway". Neat, huh?:p;)

My wife was in a wedding once where the processional was "The Rainbow Connection" and each of the bridesmaids wore a dress in a different rainbow color. :eek:

So, what color was your wife?

ETA: I was going to make a comment about the actual wedding, but there are too many to narrow it down to just one. I think it pretty much makes fun of itself.

uhh. no.

the only theme wedding i would have is maybe a 40's wedding since we love all things 40's, or a disney wedding. and lets be real, those disney weddings are spectacular, especially when you have them at disney world!
