Okay so when people look at me and my W2B they actually think we are twins not gay. Scary but hey ho i guess its the way things go.
So with this we decided for our wedding we wanted tradition on the outside but gay deep down (like us) Soo we are attacking this with full force. Rainbow Cake (see album) covered in white icing, Then 6 Tiers of cupcakes behind with rainbow coloured icing. We are wearing rainbow socks with our wedding shoes, Rainbow ribbon on our bouquets,( but underneath so it wont be seen whilst held) Rainbow Ribbon on the favours, Rainbow added onto the guestbook & hopefully Signing frame if we can work out how to do it.
Now what else can i attack with colour? Not even the MOH knows that rainbow is attacking the wedding aha :)

Rainbow confetti? Rainbow garters Now i'm stuck
There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

CommentAuthorJEm1905
We was going to have Happy Roses but as our florist friend is doing them as a wedding gift we didnt want to take the pee as they are really expensive per head.
I will be uploading our rainbow touches after the big day :) I would make everything rainbow'd if i could

Wow your cake is brilliant, very original. Please excuse my ignorance but what are happy roses?
CommentAuthorJennyTembo
sounds fab ladies... erm rainbow stickers for the sole of your shoes like the "i DO" but in rainbow stones :) will keep thinking cap on thou .. xx
looking forward to being Mrs Embo :)
CommentAuthorgdu
Love this - brilliant idea to bring together tradition with what is important to you. Happy roses are amazing but can imagine they would be expensive. Love the rainbox confetti idea. Not sure what else to suggest, perhaps a small bead/crystals of each colour in your hair piece, discreet but pretty.
CommentAuthorshazzifox
Happy roses are multicolour roses... I'd speak to your local florist about them as they're only £3.50 each here.... xx

Thanks shazzifox, I've never heard of them before x
CommentAuthorJEm1905
Our local florist is a friend of ours there for we have all our flowers for free. For 12 here is about £50 so it was just easier to ask for cheaper flowers:) It was only fair
Great idea about the stones :)

I love this idea! I think it will work brilliantly and lovely that it has some meaning for you too. When I read the title I thought it would be a game for the guests! I might try that one myself. I must agree the cake looks brilliant! Xx
CommentAuthorcra1gt
You can get cheap colour rainbow markers from stationery shops, you can add little rainbows to peoples napkins or corner of name places if you have them - some brilliant ideas though above though, especially the roses - love it and loving the cake

Thanks craig thats a wicked idea. Didnt even think about that tbh. For my partners 21st birthday we dug out a Gay pride flag and had everyone sign it.. im thinking on using a smaller version as our signing frame?

Sounds absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see pics. Think rainbow theme will give it a real happy atmosphere too! The multicoloured roses are gorgeous and they dry very well too- my best mate got some from her bf and dried them over the radiator- they still look gorgeous! You could have brightly coloured sweetie favours like smarties or M+Ms? x

Lol! My Dad's made mine- traditional fruit cake- I think I may be the only one that likes it though! I need to learn to ice it in the next couple of weeks as my Dad's just broken his hand! Will probably end up covered in glitter....

Very childish and obviously irrisponsible idea, but what about hiding a packet of skittles on yourselves and randomly throw them at unsuspecting people shouting TASTE THE RAINBOW and leaving them baffled about where it came from

Not a problem when i first started to cover cakes it was a nightmare but thankfully got it down to a tee now.
Hair cut day today so MOH is on her way this will be first day she sees us both in our dresses etc and we are showing her the gifts we have brought for people too its going to be so excited. Partner wants to lay the rainbow flag under out cake & Cake stand which is totally fine by me. As everyone will think thats our little bit of gay ahah!

Me either which is quite scary, we're not having a big do purely because of funds so just a nice registery office then back home for a booze up really. We plan to renew our vows when we have kids that are old enough to understand and once we are actually are allowed to be classed as married LOL
Our friends were ment to be getting married on the first but had to postpone there CP until next year which really messed us up as we had nothing to go on but if fun changing things from "tradition" We was going to have a joint hen do but decided against now. We just going to pamper ourselfs and our MOH the night before and let everyone do the work :)

Okay we went to our florist friend today and took our rainbow ribbon. She is now adding a bow to our BQ's plus little hoops in between flowers etc so im super excited about how its going to look.
A cousin saw the ribbon we was handing over so im going to bully him tonight to make sure he doesnt tell anyone.
Over the next few days i need to find a signing frame which isnt ideal tbh as we are super skint and dont get paid again now until 2 days after the wedding. So typical, then i think i will ask people to sign there name in different coloured pens. Our signing frame will be place around our fingerprint tree so i think it would work nicely instead of people signing there finger :) I will start taking photos of the added extras we are having for our day and will upload them over the next week or so.

what about them magic pens hun i had some when i was a kid ... go on a colour then you use the magic pen and wich is kinda invisable but it changes the colours of the existing colour so you can do lines across waves .. just a thought xx

That is one stunning cake hun! Just had a sneeky peek at the pix.
Afraid I'm not being very creative at the moment, I can't think of anything rainbow apart from that childrens programme I watched as a kid in the 80's, although I think it was a 70's programme .............Jeffrey, Zippy, Bungle and George lol.
Sorry, creative brain cells gone to sleep. I do love everyones ideas on here though, the roses are so pretty xx

After all the hassle of our favours we have just scraped them.. the last 2 hours i have been faffing about with a vase some ribbon and our sweets and think we have got something than we can deal with, It's not perfect but my back is killing me so it will have to do now :)

Wow, it's all coming together and not long to go now!
I saw a feature in one of the bridal mags and one bride had all her bridesmaids dress in different colours so it was like a rainbow and they had bouquets to match their dress colour, it was really pretty.
I've also seen a pic of a short wedding dress and the under skirt layers were all different colours which looked really cool.

I cannot wait to see the pics from your wedding hun! It sounds amazing!! :)
Maybe you could have rainbow colours on your toenails? If you are having your reception at home you could try and get things like multicoloured loo roll? Have some rainbow ribbon going up your banister? You could make some rainbow ice cubes using food colouring for peoples drinks. If you are doing a buffet and using cocktail sticks you could soak them in food colouring too and have rainbow sticks! :) sorry if these are rubbish ideas! Lol. Very tired.
