Choose one wedding theme: the city or the garden?

Would you like to help me and give me some feedback on these two "themes" for a reception? I like them both, but can't decide :(





The first is a quintessential garden theme, a secret retreat full of lush flowers, birds, butterflies, and secret things (locks %26amp; keys). The birds are a special emphasis, because I like them so much. I imagine things like silk fans, lanterns, bird cages, umbrellas, tea-time, desserts. The colors are soft and easy on the eye, like peony pink, robin's egg blue, twinkle yellow, hydragea purple, etc.





The second theme doesn't have a name, but it's very stark and modern compared to the first one. I was very inspired by old movie sets, which give the illusion of being in a city like New York, San Francisco, or even Seattle. I imagine things with harder lines, like bridges, chandeliers, the Empire State Building, the Space Needle, and things like that. It might be harder to translate to actual, physical details, but I'm sure you get the idea.





Thank you!

Done right, both of these would be incredible!!! In reality I would chose the garden, but my "if I did anything I thought was cool..." then I would chose the city. I like glamour of it, but on your wedding day, do you want intensity and glamour or the softer romantic feel of the garden?
Reply:Garden, definitely. My fiance' and I are having a beautiful English Garden wedding with fun, modern twists such as a surprise, very untraditional song for my walk down the aisle. Both of your ideas would be stunning, but I think the garden would be most beautiful, and from how you described them, the most like you. Have a beautiful wedding, and a wonderful marriage =]

BTW, I found your descriptions quite imaginative. I'm guessing you're an artist, writer or both. :-)
