European Garden Theme Wedding?? Need some advice?

We finally decided on a theme for our wedding. My fiance is wearing a kilt, so we wanted something Scottish or European to fit with the kilt. We finally settled on a European or British Garden theme and here's what I have so far:


Colors (to match kilt): Navy blue and champagne with light blue and ivory accents


Flowers: Hydrangeas, ivory roses, peonies, rannunculas (sp?) and ivy


Favors: Plantable blue paper hearts that double as escort cards - they grow wildflowers when you plant the paper in the ground.


Bridesmaids: Tea length satin bubble dresses in navy blue with champagne sashes


Groomsmen: Black tuxes with navy blue or champagne vests (haven't decided yet)





I'm looking for more ways to tie in the theme with the decor for the reception and the ceremony. We'll probably do bunches of flowers tied to the ends of the chairs for church decorations, but does anyone have anymore suggestions? Unique ideas? Thanks!

Try to watch "Four Weddings and a Funeral" a british comedy from a few years back, staring Hugh Grant. In the movie, you can see 4 different weddings (one of them a scotish wedding wuth kilts)... I think that you can gather some cute ideas from this movie.





Good luck
Reply:I was on vacation and went to a wedding! I will post the details later, I just got back to work and my desk is piled up with work...but I have to share with you guys the details of this faboulus wedding, hands down, the best wedding I've ever been to. Report It

Reply:Serve tea during the time that would be the cocktail hour. I think that would be really cute - you can probably find some really nice pale blue cups and saucers. Then with the flower seeds, send a bag or two of the tea you drank home with your guests.





Maybe give your maids parasoles that are light blue and ivory as cute gifts and use them during your pictures.





Use doilies for the bottom of your center pieces, lots of tea light candles floating in bowls with peonies, have a bagpipe player play a song when you arrive at your reception, have your guests blow bubbles when you leave ... I can't really think of anything else ... but hopefully those are some ideas you can play off of.
