    whew! this is proving to be a lot more difficult than I imagined!  I pictured that I wanted turquoise as my main colour...  My bridesmaids are going to be wearing POOL from Alfred Angelo.  

    I have seen pictures where the 'pool' or turquoise colour looks like way too much if its on everything (chair sashes, table runners etc) so someone suggested I do white chair covers with a royal blue sash and table runner, but when I picture that in my head, I see way too much BLUE and not the original turquoise colours that I pictured. 

     I am looking for some ideas but nothing is catching my eye.  I would LOVE some suggestions.  My original plan for flowers was pink daisies and white calla lilies, but I am open for suggestions there too.  The venue for the reception has some coloured carpet too... so I am not dealing with plain white. 

    (I did see one inspiration board that Kind of caught my eye, but Im not sure I have access to the perfect colour blue for that - the blue that the lady has -that i already have a downpayment on, is more of a royal blue, she also has turquoise, and a lime green and sage, yellows as well.  This would mean changing my flower order too!)  

    Including the board that I saw that I kinda liked, and a pic of the location of reception that I got online.

    I like the photo with the pool blue bridesmaid dresses and the white and yellow flowers!  Very fresh.  I've also seen pool blue with orange and hot pink accent, which sounds like an unlikely combo, but is really pretty!

    I am not really wanting to go brown.  I am either going to stick with the couple shades of blue, and the pink flowers. Or switch and add a bit of yellow and green I think. 

    In any case, what would the suggestion be for chair sashes and table runners.  Would you do both, or just one or the other, or something totally different like a turquoise sash and small centre square in turquoise?  Wow, I sound so lost dont I. lol

    Does this sound crazy??? But mixing the two colors together for the sashes and then doing table squares?

    Which colours were you suggesting to mix? and what colour on the table square? be specific with me, I am totally not talented when it comes to this decor/colour stuff!

    Right now I have Turquoise/Royal Blue (with just the pink flowers) as the colours.

    I am thinking of the Green and Yellow to add in.

    Yeah, Im not sure I want to go that bold with the pink.  Read many reviews that say avoid the blue and pink schemes - as they remind them of baby showers. So if I use pink at all its going to be in the flowers only, maybe a few accents.  Maybe if I go with the two different colour blues, somehow mix and match those for the chairs and tables?

    Go to a local hardware store and browse the paint chips. See what combos you like and take them home to mix and match in the natural light.
