It looks lovely Would you have ceremony and food/everything there? It looks lovely! x

 

[Gwizz]

Yeah everything in one place, not fussed on a church (sounds silly as the definite decision to get the lads christened!). We'll see and weigh up the costs (and the colour of the registry room!)

How's the planning coming along hun?

 

[Gwizz]

Slow ... keep going round in circles. Its quite hard to do a themed wedding and to keep it classy! especially a nerdy one Colours are throwing me atm .... think ill sit with steve get him to write his 3 fav colours (ive a good guess what they are!) and my 3 and see if we can build a colour palette from that.

Just had this email from a close friend whos an event organiser - i love her! I hadnt really said alot to her but she picked up on ideas i had too like the lego, table names .... now im feeling alot more organised! Shes gonna be helping me pull it all together thank god!

My take on a Star Wars theme would be

Colour Scheme … White, a little black, a sage green (spring colour and very classic wedding)
Steel grey and looks fab with sage… some silver too … plus some funky colours in the flowers..

Dessi do a lovely steel grey dress for bridesmaids with a sage green sash.. get your mum to copy it .. beautiful … pink can then be added to the flowers …

Tables named after Aldera, Imperial City etc for seating plan

Flowers of paradise set in a rock centre piece with moss and fern and succulents as they are the right green and very futuristic and pretty not used enough at weddings in my opinion…

White linen, table cloths and Napkins (classy yet puts you in mind of the clothes of the princess, Luke and the storm troopers)

I think a bit of shiny black is a must at a star wars wedding and if used correctly a very classy colour at a wedding. Good tip is to buy at a car boot or similar, a large old fashioned guilt type baroque mirror, spray the frame a very shiny black and write your menu for the day on the glass, with a glass pen. Looks amazing.

White card for table stationary with black writing… no cream….

Lots of white fairy lights around the top table.. I can show a really good way to display them, this will be the sabre force light ….

I think a cocktail named “May the 4th be with you” would make an amazing toast rather than champs or cava (cava is Naff) … perhaps pimms based (for spring) with a black stirrer in it and a green side embellishment or a martini with green olive… classy yet modern …

Then a favour could be those little Lego star wars figures done up in cellophane and with a name tag attached for place setting… adults actually don’t think much to sweets and love a little unusual gift…. This will make everyone’s day (check out Amazon ok they are £2.99 each but if you going to do a favour do a decent one)

I would also run a star wars trivia game (homemade) as the conversation starter on the table. Conversation starters are important as often guests don’t know each other.

Some glitzy silver pebbles or crystals sprinkled with give the finishing touch.

Turns out spring wedding with a star war twist..not a themed wedding …

 

[jms895]

Some great ideas in there. love sage green that was one of my possibles xx

 

[mumandco]

Wow those ideas sound FAB

 

[Gwizz]

Yeah im unsure about the black and white ... i think its classic, clean and elegant but wasnt my choice for a spring wedding, bit stark ... besides Leah wears cream alot so might be able to get away with Ivory instead. Id look odd in ivory dress with white tablecloths.

Mind u I saw a lovely grey dress the other day im particualry liking the grey colour - on another note grey is steves 'chosen' colour now.

Now trying to weigh up Steel Grey, Ivory (marshmallow white!) and sage green ... although im also liking lagoon green .... hate this decisions already! Grey ive been told is the THE colour for 2013 weddings lol!

Maybe the trick is not to have a definate colour choice but to have a neutral ivory base accessorise in those colours - oh i dont know. ill decide more after seeing possible venue no.1 first!

Im still liking gold too

Definatly going to make our own cocktail though - that sounds lush ... combine the flavours we both like - be different and cool! might need to get expert advise on that.

The wedding we went to in the summer, the bride wore Grey and it was stunning

NEW STALKER!
Love some of your idea's & your venue is gorgeous.

I'm getting married on the 9th of May 2013. so I'll definitely be keeping up with you & how your planning is going!

 

[Gwizz]

[MummyCat]

Lovely wedding venue and fab idea's form your friend!!! I'm so excited to see what you come up with! xx

 

[jms895]

I LOVE GOLD and love blue too

 

[Gwizz]

So many choices lol!

[Gwizz]

Thrown this mood board together .... lagoon blues, steel greys with hints of antique gold and black ... quite liking it

im still not sure on white/black idea so we'll see, i think its too 'themed star wars' to go white/black if u get me. I think i can still get the theme with colours (see pic top right!)

Love the moodboard. Don't worry too much about sticking to the theme. Most weddings have no theme so it's not like people won't think yours is star wars-y enough! Think those colours are lovely and with all the little starwars finishing touches it will be perfect.
