hello, we are having our wedding 5-5-12 it will be at his familys farm back home with a barn in view and apple trees and pastures and horses. Our 'theme' is birch trees and colors are brown plum and pink.
for the ceremony i was thinking of mason jars at the head of each row with purple and pink flowers, with a burlap bow around each jar, hanging from a shepards hook or the chair (not sure yet). The "arch" will be made of small birch trees with two stands of iris' s on either side.
for favors i have burlap bags of coffee beans roasted in alaska (where we live) and homemade cherry jam in tiny jars with a square of purple gingham fabric on top.
Rustic usually goes with fall, so I was wondering if these are cute ideas. there will be lots of bright pinks and purples in the flowers to make things light, and also the cherry and apple trees will be in season.
please tell me what you think of these ideas!
