    Hi girls,

    i really need your help... originally was planning to get married in april... so far so good decided for spring that aqua and butterflies would be lovely... but now h2b and i changed the date to october and I kinda have the feeling aqua and my butterfly theme dont work anymore as its autumn :( found so many other nice colors but do like auqa ... but is there a way i could mix and match my theme a bit??? as in autumn lovely bright colors like orange, red, yellow would be so perfect... but i also bought already lots of stuff... is there a way that i can combine the aqua and butterflies with something different???

    thanks for your help!!! xx

    butterflies and pumkins on there... all you'd have to do is take that idea and mix the colours up a little

    Hun, don't worry about matching your theme to the time of year - I don't see why we are made to believe we have to do that. It's your wedding and you can have whatever you want. I'm getting married in mid september, so in theory I should be having browns and oranges but that's really not us - we're having light blue, silver and white, which is probably classed as more wintery colours, but it's what we want :)

    If you wanted to make it more of an Autumn theme, try aqua and gold. It was recently in a magazine and looked amazing, really rich and luxurious x

    Just found it. A small £2.99 magazine that gives you 'Ideas' for your 'Wedding' has turquoise and gold (not aqua, sorry) on page 250 of the August edition. Take a look x

    it may actually be really nice to have the contrast of colours. I dont see a problem. I would keep all of what you have as these type of things are not cheap and make use of them. Butterflies are now seen at weddings at any time of the year so I wouldnt worry hun and I would use it all. In terms of colour, go for the colour you want whether you think its more a spring colour or not. It is your day and many brides are not tending to stick with the 'rules' which are often pointless rules anyways and more and more are doing what they want as it is their wedding day at the end of the day. Could you mix the aqua with maybe a purply shade? I dont know how that would work exactly or if it would clash?

    I figured out that aqua and orange look good might mix it with cream or ivory as well turquoise is similar to aqua anyway so therefore consider it maybe with silver oh just to many things to choose from might make some decisions soon x tnx

    What about using the Monarch butterfly you then could have a mixture of the two.. maybe using the Autumn colours and creating fallen leaves and having the aqua butterflys on them? xx

    yeah looks good... but i'm just so unsure... i was thinking of maybe not using the butterflies i bought at all (they are some auqa, some white, some light pink and some pink) so even if i'm not using those i will be able to use them somewhere as decoration for presents etc... i reckon...

    but also was thinking as i got the aqua ties, crystals, tiaras already i wanted to have aqua bm dresses and was thinking of peach colored roses little bouquets for the bm's and one large one for myself having maybe peach rose arrangements on the tables as well and might get some rose petals to go on the table as well with all those cyrstals... what do u think???

    You know what.. Its your wedding hunni. Sod the date! youve got all this stuff already, why change it? Who cares what month it is? Its about you. If you have found something you like then why change it,I bet it was hard enough makeing that choice in the first place xx

    i know what you mean but its just i dont like having butterflies in autumn if i feel it isnt the right thing for me... might need to talk this through with my moh and mum ... my mum said already well if ya dont use them give them to me :D

    i like it but i wanna change it coz i wanna go more for the colors of autumn as well to show how beautiful that ti9me of the year is ... might need to go more into country style :)

    oh well it was easy at first as i was gonna get married in april but we change the date so therefore i think i do wanna change the theme slightly to i wanna keep the aqua as its the most i bought already the butterflies werent to expensive and i can use them on wrapping presents etc... so no lost really :D but i feel i need to change a bit and think i need to cut out the butterflies and go for more autumn/ country things instead combines with the aqua.... shame h2b isnt so into it otherwise it would be easier to decide what to have and what not :)
