i love the cadbury purple theme someone else on here is doing it so you could ask them for tips! i havent been to a wedding which has that colour yet!

the black and white does look gawjus! a friend of mine did it about a year ago and it looked stunning! even the guests were black and white dress code! was fab tho xx

I think you will know it when you see it. I personally wouldn't mind at all if someone used the same theme as me, I would see it as a compliment. You could choose tropical colours and have pineapples instead of pumpkins, the choice is endless. Good luck with your choices hun, it will come to you :o) xxx

Do you and h2b have a particular favourite colour?

I've found that usually for more formal weddings, people usually use ivory or white with a contrasting colour and a metallic colour like gold or silver for trimmings. Popular colour schemes I've seen are pale blue and ivory, pink and white, purple and white, black and white.

For informal weddings you can go a bit more crazy, have blues..red... teal... orange... chocolate...fuschia or any combintation of colours you like really :) I'm having an informal wedding and my colours are purple, pink, orange and yellow :)

thanks you 2 ill have a look now xx

We've gone for ivory, silver & baby pink but it took us a lot of work to decide.
Cadbury purple & orange look stunning together as a colour scheme but what I would say is they are very bold colours and it takes a certain type of complexion to pull them off so I'd think about your BMs and other members of your WP and whether or not they could carry the colours off.

Love the idea of pumpkin centrepieces, I'd have loved a Halloween wedding!!

i know we might even end up pushing our date back a bit coz we might be moving soon but dont know when we got the housing inspector out on fri

Mine is white and grey/silver.
There are lots of lovely ideas out there, just go with what catches you the most. Purple looks lovely what ever the time of year. x
