Combining my ideas of marrying on the Isle of Lewis and my colour scheme of mint green, I've come up with a beautiful idea for my tables.... I want white table linen with gingham napkins (in green, yellow and pink) and button napkin rings. the table centres will be big jugs with freshly cut flowers in them. I'm also thinking homemade jewellery/ cufflinks for the favours. These pictures aren't 100% what I'm after but give a rough idea of some of the aspects.

Flowers with feathers.
Whether I go for the peacock theme or something totally different, I really like the idea of using feathers with the flowers. I think feathers just add a classy touch and they come in so many different colours, sizes and styles that they can be made to suit any theme, or colour scheme.I'm lucky enough to have an expert crafter/ flower arranger as a mum so she'll be doing most if not all of my flowers for me. But if not try etsy (http://www.etsy.co.uk/) or folksy (http://www.folksy.co.uk/) for artificial flowers or take sketches, pictures and colour swatches with you when you go to the florist. Here are a few of my favourites:
The Bouquet:
The Buttonholes:
The Bridesmaids:
The Tables:
The Bouquet:
I love this bouquet!!!! Lilies are one of my favourite flowers and the colours of the peacock fethers are so regal and elegant.
This coffee and cream inspired bouquet would be fabulous with my 1920's theme.
I don't really like long trailing bouquets but this one just jumped out at me. The colours are very pretty and the red could inspire a wonderful winter wedding.
The Buttonholes:
This is a very Christmassy buttonhole with the colour and the holly leaves, perfect for a winter wedding.
I thought this was very classy with the use of the pearls, and the mixture of feathers adds an interesting touch.
The Corsages:
A few flyaway feathers can look as effective as alot if used cleverly. I love the mini red roses hiding behind the main flower too.
I particularly like the left one. the white flowers are very elegant when teamed with black feathers and ribbon.
The Bridesmaids:
The bridesmaids flowers will probably be a smaller version of the brides, but these peaches and cream flowers were so pretty and would match most colour dresses.
This is my favourite!!!! The red flower on the peacock flowers is so bold, yet still elegant and pretty. I love it!!!!!
The Tables:
All white feathers in tall glass vases gives a classy 1920s feeling.
These colours would be perfect for a morrocan themed wedding as they are very bright and vibrant.

Hair pieces.
My talented mum crafts wedding flowers and hairpieces. Here is one that I loved for myself, and one that would be perfect for bridesmaids. I'm definetely going to get mum to make all my hairpieces. If you want to have handcrafted hair pieces too, she'll be opening her shop Shooting Stars on etsy soon......
(I also think I'm going to have my hair wavy for the big day)

Cups and Saucers
Love chintzy cups and saucers for my afternoon tea idea. We went antiquing in Horncastle yeaterday, and I saw loadsof beautiful cups and saucers and teapots for very little money. I also like the idea of using cups and saucers for flowers as my table centres. I think it would be fabulous to have lots of different unmatching designs.
If you aren't lucky enough to find any antique cups and saucers on sale near you, you could try ebay, or even find a company which hires. Try:
