Aww everything sounds so lovely. I love weddings that take a few risks.
I'm just beginning to plan things, but I've made a few decisions already:
-no white dress for me! BUT: If I find a dress that I like, that I look amazing in, and it's white, I'm going to have a crinoline that peeks out of the bottom, and it'll be colored probably a bright blue.
-colored crinoline, regardless of color of dress. I'll figure it out. x)
-almost everything will be DIY - especially the save the dates & invites, the favors, and the flowers.
-my flowers will be made of paper (if I have it my way, lol). I'll probably do a combination of origami and simple paper flowers. Here's a picture:
Got the idea from one girl's wedding on OffbeatBride
LOVE it! The crinoline is from the same wedding, love her bouquet!
-we're getting married outside, and our guests will be sitting in a circle around us. My OH will come in from one side, stand and wait for me, and I'll come in through the other, probably being walked in by my grandpa, or his grandpa.
That's what I've got for now... bought a bunch of magazines for more ideas though.
