Soooo.... our main wedding colors are aqua/pool blue & pistachio green. The flowers my bridesmaids and i are carrying a spring mix of pinks/yellows/whites/greens. I want some black/white thrown in to make it not so pastel-y and looking like an Easter egg hunt...the invites we like have black/white damask accents, and I thought about having b/w damask runners on our round tables at the reception, with aqua blue tablecloths. Our flowers on the tables are going to be white hydrangeas submerged in water in square vases, and others are going to be tall cylinder vases with tulips/cala lilies submerged in water with wide round candles floating on top. I also want to have black wooden fold up chairs. The floor at the reception hall is black/white sqaures, although with the tables the floor won't be a huge focus (but just for what it's worth).
My mom (who is WONDERFUL and so great about everything wedding-related) can't get over the "black at a spring wedding" thing (even thought I think b/w damask is fine for spring???) and I'm having trouble convincing her that it can work and look classy and fun.
Am i completely off in thinking that this can look great??? Please be honest!!! I don't really have any pictures to support my "vision" but it's just kinda coming together in my head :-)
Thanks for your thoughts!!!!!!
