LOVE these too!

I'm thinking either a hunter green with gold and tartan, or light blue with silver and white. There WILL be dozens of crystal snowflakes scattered about the reception and on the cake!

Honeychile, we had a December wedding and surely saved a ton because we only had to pay for bouquets. Your light blue, silver, and white snowflake theme sounds fabulous!

Thank you! The colors that we seem to agree on are (if we don't go for the hunter green scheme):

Bridesmaid dresses, cumberbunds/ties. Not navy, more of a royal or marine blue. Check the ribbon on the bouquet below for a more exact shade.

Accents like napkins. In, um, Azure?

For the flowers, I'd like the old fashioned cream, pale pink and white roses, with magnolias or gardenias. Picture the following with pinks & creams instead of all white, green, & purple flowers. At least, something on that line:



White twig trees as centerpieces with a very slight dusting of glitter, with crystal snowflakes. Of course, we do need to set a date yet - which I won't do until we set a few other things!

I really like that one ^. I'm really partial to Bells of Ireland though. Here's a pic of my bouquet, which was white roses (for TD), bells of Ireland (proposed to in Ireland and lived there), thistles (for Scotland live/d there) and little sprigs of wheat. My bridesmaids just had plain wheat bouquets.
