Any good ideas for a summer, outdoor wedding?

It will be outside in the evening %26amp; the reception will be at night. I don't really have a theme as of right now nor do I have any colors picked out. I want lots of lighting %26amp; I want glittery, sparkly %26amp; shiny decor. I was thinking either an evening garden them or a "cool" (as in temperature) theme with cool colors like ice blue, white, silver, etc.





Any ideas for decoration, colors, themes, flowers, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

sorry i'm really tired so i'm not thinking as creativly as i usually do...








if you go to save-on-crafts.com they have an how to for crystalized branches. if you do those and have them as your centerpieces... they will look great with those mini led lights that are battery operated, and you can use votive candles on the table to catch more sparkle.


you can put the branches in large vases and fill the base with flat marbles and rocks covered in glitter (just use craft glue and roll them in glitter)





i like your idea of "cool" you can do a cool romance theme... with your colors.





i would get organza bags in shades of blue and fill them with silver wrapped kisses.


try shopping ebay (seller id ideabus) for the lowest prices on organza bags.





oh depending on when you wedding is.. ie is it 09?


you can pick up christmas garland in silver and blue shades to swag on your branches and to swag on tables...


plus the day after xmas it's all 50-% off
Reply:I'm doing the same. I will suggest to you abdoning the "Theme" idea as wedding should be about you two and not weather you can find a bunch of asian favors or whatever. I DO suggest a color scheme though. This way everything blends well and nothing clashes.





I think chineese paper lanterns would look great outdoors,but a lot of people use those. And theres nothing wrong with Hurricanes! They flicker and kinda sparle.
Reply:Outside weddings are always wonderful, but make SURE you have a back-up area set up incase of bad weather conditions. I've been to 20+ weddings and seen a few disasters because they were unprepared.
Reply:Your cool theme sounds nice, romantic and the colours that you mention will be a head turner :)
