Are you battling to pick a colour scheme? Are you curious to see if two colours will work together? Well, if you go to Idee Multicolr, you can choose up to 10 colours to combine and it selects pictures off Flickr to give you a gawjiss collage, and you can choose from several collages per combination!
I found it on my friend Tanya’s blog, which she started in order to share her wedding planning adventures, and I had so much fun with this little online toy!!
When I chose my red and purple colour scheme, lots of people simply couldn’t imagine the two together until I Googled some pictures and posted them for others to see it can work. Now you can try out combinations and share them using Twitter or Facebook directly from Multicolr!

I had so many ideas when we started planning our wedding, but I managed to whittle my list down and by the time we got together with the decor company for the first time, I had only two concepts. It was either feathers, or an ornate Victorian theme.
After chatting to Kelly from Kelro, we decided on the feather idea. She was keen to do it and I think I was more excited about that one than the Victorian idea by then. We opted on a different style of decor for the chapel, but still something that fitted with the feathers.
The chapel aisle was lined with small birdcages hung on ribbons from the ceiling. They were filled with flowers, candles and feathers, and each one was different. The purple and red colour scheme was used in the chapel and in the reception hall, and the front of the chapel had two big flower arrangements on white stands flanking us as we said our vows.
After the ceremony, the two big arrangements and the cages were whisked into the reception hall where they were used to decorate the buffet tables, the coffee station, the bathrooms and our main table.
Our tables were covered with red and purple table cloths, and in the centre we had tall vases covered in a sheer white fabric with battery operated lights inside topped with a fountain top of white ostrich feathers! There were a few small candles on the tables as well, but the main thing was the feathered centrepiece. The serviettes were bound with strands of jewels and pearls on wire at each place setting, and there were no flowers on the tables.
We used photographs from our couple-shoot earlier in the year to make up triangular table number cards. One side had the table number on it, the second side displayed the menu and the third side had one a photographof us on it.
It was very striking and I was very pleased with the look of the reception hall.

In South Africa, these little paper toys don’t really have a name, but they get played with by every generation, everyone knows how to use them and just about everyone knows how to fold them! Here are some pictures of cootie catchers at other weddings so you can see just how wonderfully versatile a “toy” they can be. They’re fabulous as conversation starters and they recall fond memories for most people.
I spotted these in a Martha Stewart Weddings magazine a few years ago, and it stuck in my head as a suggestion for my clients. No one ever used it, and when I started planning my own wedding, I figured they’d be a fun way to keep my guests entertained.
I roped my mom and sisters into helping me fold mine- I made two different ones- and they looked like this:
One had “tasks” for people to perform- like “toast your table” or “buy the best man a drink”, and the other had little facts in about myself and my new husband.
Here are a few links you may find interesting if you’d like to use them: How To Make Cootie Catchers; Lip Smacking Good; DIY Template; Ideas (bing). And here are a few photos of the ones I found when Googling them.

AnGlugWedding now not only has a colour scheme- the red and purple- and a “theme”!!
I have always loved paisley. I had paisley clothing when I was younger and several art projects had paisley in them somewhere. Then at the wedding expo on Sunday we saw one or two items with the pattern on it- and my dilemma was solved!
We’ll be able to use it in SOOOO many ways!!!
And- brace yourselves bunnies- we most likely won’t be having any cupcakes at AnGlugWedding…
I know!!
Shock!
Horror!
How could the “Cupcake Queen” NOT be having cupcakes at her own wedding!?!??!
Well, a friend has already called dibs on a cupcake wedding- much like someone else I know has called dibs on a peacock theme and colour scheme, and like I did on my colour scheme and now on the paisley… so there’ll be no cupcakes!
But no worries- I am planning plenty of fabulousness!!!

These will not be in any particular order. . . just as I have listed them over time and as they come to me! And they could be ideas for anything from jewellery to the reception!
First up- I want to find an old fashioned typewriter to have on a table at the reception venue. Then people can type messages or letters as keepsakes for me on paper colour coded to whatever my wedding theme is.
