My wedding is in June and my colors are black, white/cream, with a touch of green.  My dress is ivory, my bridesmaids are strapless, knee length and black.  I plan on staying with white/cream flowers with just a touch of green.  I really like the three colors together but as time goes on I feel as though these colors are WAY too BOLD and modern for the soft and classic/casual feel I am going for at the reception.  Does anyone have suggestions on how I can use these colors but capture the feel that I am looking for and not look too bold or modern?  HELP PLEASESmile

I think that sounds so lovely. And the solution to your question seems pretty simple I think. What I would do is scale back on the black at the reception and let the whites, creams, and soft greens dominate. I love mixing white and cream… there is something so ethereal about it. However, I think the biggest thing to remember when working with a white/cream palate is to mix up your textures so it's not too boring. You can have soft green (hydrangea) centerpeices to tie that in. I think it will be beautiful! GL!

Cari – your wedding sounds so pretty! One idea I plan on using in my bouquet is to have an accent color wrapped in ribbon at the base of my bouquet. That way, you can use the subtle cream and whites in your flowers and then have the green accent to tie it all in.

For your reception, I think it would be fun to use mainly your white colors and then have the favor boxes or personalized napkins in your green color! Not sure exactly what shade of green you are searching for, but I found a really cool green 'margarita' color on this site: http://www.myjeanm.com/engine.cfm?iCatID=29597

The best part is you can use any color on any invite. I've been playing around with the different options for hours already! And I think they just announced a new video contest where you can win free wedding stuff and get to be on a TV show! Sweet! http://memelabs.com/jeanm/

Congrats on your wedding Cari and best wishes in your planning!
