schemes

well colour scheme is old white tablecloths or the colour of newspaper before it's printed on. think i will layer up tables with old white cotton in various off white shades. that will match the dress i'm planning of cream muslin layered over old white cotton. then for any printing id like a charcoal ink on any recycled paper.
then the only colour i'd like is in the flowers, which will be every colour! think frothy green bases of fennel, with blue cornflowers, white astas, purple chive flowers, pink sweet peas and yellow something...cottage garden flowers and herbs.
so when i have my sewing machine ill start making bunting...not as neat as christine's christmas bunting, just one layer of fabric for each triangle...in recycled sheeting - white, cream, natural light shades, whatever i can find that is as light coloured as possible.

i love the key stamp, i will ask my illustrating friend to draw me a heart shaped lock or something similar to use on the invites. unless rick can draw? or you for that matter? lol

oh and the vases for the flowers i'd like a mixture of glass vases and bottles and anything that holds water...as long as theyre clear or pale coloured :) too much to ask for?!

oh and it's about 50 people(adults) were inviting, but fewer invitations than that as most people have a partner. will be able to tell you tomorrow whether we can have the church and/or the hall :)

p.s. this:

    i changed the blog a bit as i kept thinking it was quite dark and oppressive. what you think?

    ok, colours sound good. ask your friend to draw the lock, im no good! would you then make it into a rubber stamp?
