Wedding Reception Forum

I thought i had my colors/ theme..but i am soooo lost, help!!

Alright ladies, I am freaking out!!  I have been trying to set in stone what the theme of my wedding will be and the colors and all of that for about 2 months.  The problem is I know what colors, ( i got the idea off of here, go figure) and I have an idea but I can't put it together.  Everytime I try to explain it or put it on paper NO ONE understands me, so maybe you all can give me some ideas and a stamp on a theme to go with, or a picture/painting/movie reference ANYthing for inspiration!Here are the colors::9under 4 hot color combos)Eggplant + Cornflower + Magenta Have fun with flowers. Bouquet of clematis, blue hydrangeas, purple lisianthus and fuchsia coxcomb. Antique copper --Except, no birds nest or woodsy features.  Instead I am going for more of a magical, fun masquerade, contemperary gothic, mad hatter tea party, sort of feel...I know i know thats a lot but i want it to be beautiful and dreamlike, just with purples/blues/magentas/brass tones.  The ceremony is outdoors in a garden w/gazebo, and the reception is indoors,  The receptions site is updating this winter so the inside decor is changing (for the better, thank god!)  and will go with my colors.  One last thing, the table cloths are white, i will have color napkins, and more than likely every other chair cover will be eggpplant or cornflower.   My dress will be ivory, my bridesmaids will be in lapis ( which is a shade of purple despite popular belief.).  if you have ANY ideas or suggestions to help me get my head on straight please let me know!!-Candice

  • Maybe a good way to describe it would be a harlequin sort of feel, only instead of the Harley Quinn red white and black, use your three colors instead. Just the first idea that came to mind. I think I get what you mean though. I would start googling some of those buzz words, like mad tea party and masquerade and some of your colors and see what comes up. HTH!

  • If you're doing a cake have you thought about one of the topsy turvy cakes ? That sounds like it would go with your theme. It sounds like colors really matter to you so I think you should just focus on building around the colors and just pick things you like that incorporate them. You don't neccesarily need to pick a theme. Find pictures and print them out or make an inspiration board that shows what you really want that way you don't have to try to define or confine your ideas and people will know exactly what you want.
  • Those are both EXCELLENT ideas thank you so much!! I definetely must get my googling fingers going!!!
