A friend asked me to add this to your thread about wedding attire.....
Think OUTSIDE THE BOX about everything regarding your wedding, reception, wedding venue, food, music and even Dress Code.....
One of my clients that got married beside a pretty lake, asked in their invitations, that all who attended their wedding wear "Water-Colors" - blues, greens, aquas, even violet! The color photographs were GORGEOUS and EVERYONE who is in them looked as though they were IN the wedding party!
Another client asked -on a special card inserted in their invitations- that everyone attending wear white or cream or very pale pastels - they were getting married in a very interesting sculpture garden outside an art museum - the photos were all done in black and white and when they were delivered, were reminiscent of scenes from the Great Gatsby!
Another couple was getting wed on a beach - and asked their wedding guests to wear clothes that were 'barefoot-friendly' - because as they were having a very casual 'on the beach wedding' - just before the ceremony, everyone took off their shoes, chose large candle filled seashells from a basket, lit them and made two parallel lines in the sand - a "human aisle" for the wedding party to walk down! After the ceremony, the candles lit the way to the beachside wedding reception tent. It was a lovely addition to a very moving moment!
Memorable moments and devastatingly romantic memories are made when you get truly creative with ideas like these and don't bow to convention or typical/expected ideas for your wedding!
Here's to Your Happily Ever After!! <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />
