Hi...8/8/08 here...my colors are chocolate brown, sage green and ivory. We are getting married outside at a winery...both ceremony and reception are outside....Seeing how we're at a winery, that made our theme easy....cake sits on a wine barrel, guest book on a wine barrel, lots of natural elements, etc.
wedding is 2 weeks (aug 1st) still have a ton to do. gotta find the groomsmens shirts and ties. crossing my fingers their suits match with my girls dresses (guys are in 'brown' suits and girls are in shades of brown and green). Gotta finish flower girl dresses ---- cross my fingers the fairy wings will be ready.
I'm a date twin with glittergrl - t-minus two weeks! We're black/white/silver/blue with white roses and cala lillies as the main flowers. Bridesmaids just got a black dress, my dress has black in it and we got the groomsmen a black suit to wear as their gift. They love them.
My biggest project is due at work on Tuesday so I haven't devoted a lot of time to DIY stuff yet but I have left to do: ceremony programs, OOT booklets and bags, candy bag stickers, seating chart (we're not doing individual seating cards, we're doing one chart on a piece of paper), guest book ... something, I don't know what yet, wrap presents, finish some presents, and the list goes on. But this weekend is going to be DIY central and I'm not going to concentrate on the work project. I'm waiting for other people anyway on that, so I'm about ready to wash my hands of it.
Date twin with Lilneko69 here! We are having a natural/lake theme wedding. Our colors are sky blue and tan with light green accents. I'm so excited... I can't believe how close it is!! CONGRATS to all the other August brides!!
August 2nd 2008 too! My colors are champagne and cream. We are having a traditional ceremony and reception in a new Orleans style venue. Centerpieces are White Hydrangeas, Ivory Roses and Anna Roses! I am so excited!
What are you planning for your wedding? What are your colors, theme, etc...
I myself am an August Bride and am sooo excited- I'd just like to hear how the rest of you planned your weddings.
Thanks everyone.

We used a bright red and aqua blue. Small accents of orange. Very bright and summery and modern!
