Shabby Roses

Can you think of any ideas for my wedding?

For our wedding were having a "shabby chic anthropology inspired" wedding theme. Our colors are deep purple, indigo/navy, deep turqoise and dark pink. Were trying to think of other gorgeous flowers(I hate tulips). So far we have orchids along with calla lilies and roses and we are including peacock feathers in centerpieces, the bouquets, boutainers, corsages, the hairpieces for the bridesmaids, etc. My wedding dress is lace my bridesmaids are wearing deep purple dresses but my maid of honors is slate with the same color purple along with three roses on the band of the dress. They are gorgeous all of the dresses. We have thought of some ideas but need some more. We planned on having turquoise table covers with a vase with a flower arrangement with the sword sheath peacock feathers and twiggs and moss in the bottom. Thanks :]

Yeah, I think the first person that answered is correct. It sounds like you have your bases covered. The whole idea of shabby chic decor is for the look to be classic vintage and it sounds like the anthropology part of your theme will encompass the essence of nature, as in using moss in your table arrangements. Remember, however, that sometimes less is more. If you are using orchids & cala lillies, those flowers alone are classics and should be the main flowers. Maybe they can be accented by a smaller flower like stephanotis. Your color palette sounds nice and it gives you alot of opportunity to bring each color into your wedding and the reception. Maybe think about instead of having turquoise table covers, use a white tablecloth over the whole table then use either a runner or a smaller accent tablecloth in each of your colors on top of that. Like use indigo for one table, turquoise for another, pink, deep purple, and use that every other table. I'm just throwing some ideas out there. Good luck and have fun! That's the most important thing. : )
