It is funny that the color has a lot to do with setting the atmospher for the ceremony and the reception. My gown is a white satin with the lilac trim on the neckline, and at the hem area, with the lacing going down the back, (a little on the victorian side of style)very simple and yet very eligent. The wedding is in the afternoon, so the groomsmen and the best man will be in tux's and with a latte accent to match the bridesmaid and maid of honor, the groom will be in the dark tux, with the lilac accents to match the trim on the gown. The chapel is done all in white with red roses and to carry on the victorian feel the bouqets and the bridal flowers are having the english ivy accents. I had thought about the reception in Vellejo (where both our families are) as being a theme of the fall festive from Itly, with the Italian foods that we both love so much. At first we thought about a Thanksgiving theme but it would prove way to much for everyone mainly for us having to travel to the area and have the time to make the dinner for thirty people. So after putting all the ideas to the family and guests, and of course the the help of the maid of honor and best man we came up with having a Italian pot luck so that everyone can show off their culinary skills and leave the recipe at the side of the dish for those who wish to exchange them. The reception hall will be done in Ivories, whites with hues of purple and browns to reflect the wedding party. It will prove to be a very eligent and casual at the same time. For our friends and guests that are attending here in Las Vegas, we are doing the same here for them, and it has has several good reveiws from them.
