Living Room Take Two

I'm revisiting my living room refresh since we're getting hardwood floors put in. Ideally, I would like to get new everything but that's not going to happen anytime soon. For now, I'm getting new curtains, a rug and possibly throw pillows. I took down my evil blinds and put up a double curtain rod and it's my new best friend. Blinds should be taken down and rolled over with a truck, in my opinion! Here are some ideas for curtains I'm looking at:

Diversitex Positano Chamois
Modern Meadow JD39-Sunglow Fabric by Joel Dewberry
Bouquet in Sun
Whimsy DC4039-Grass Fabric by Pillow & Maxfield
Here's an idea: I can do this fabric as throw pillows and then use the red and blue as accent colors.

Center Pieces


We can take branches, glue flowers on them, spray paint them (or not) and add these little birds from Michael's that come in all colors:)

If it were me.....

Here are a few details that are my favorites going along the line of what Rachel says she likes and some ideas that I like. I decided to put them in one place. In some cases I'll put my top two choices.

Rachel:
Orchid Wedding Hair and Veil
This dress:
With a navy sash and broach, except with sash longer and tied different.
Sincerity Bridal Gown - Style: 3518
Green and white bouquet or yellow bouquet.
Heather coordinated her signature color with her favorite flower for her bouquet -- bright yellow calla lilies. Her bridesmaids carried a paler shade of yellow.

Bridesmaids:
Green and white or yellow bouquets.
Green satin bows streamed from the bridesmaids’ bouquets of white roses, green hydrangeas and mums.

Other Decorations:
If this were possible. It would be cool! Maybe just string clear lights across the ceiling.

Guest book table: Bird cage for cards with lanterns and framed bridal photos.
Guests dropped their greeting cards in an antique birdcage on the gift table. Little touches like this helped weave in the rustic, casual theme throughout the day.

Tables:
Blue tablecloths, runner or square in middle
bold elegance details
Main centerpiece of willow branches and yellow tulips with a few small vases of green hydrangeas.
Inside the beach club, guests were greeted with tropical arrangements of greens, shells and starfish.

Or

A combination of these two bouquets. Yellow tulips, white tulips or roses, and green hydrangeas.
Green satin bows streamed from the bridesmaids’ bouquets of white roses, green hydrangeas and mums.Becky and Ben wanted a yellow, navy, and white theme for their day. With that in mind, the bridesmaids carried bouquets comprised of vibrant yellow tulips, which contrasted nicely with their dark navy dresses.
Seashells and coral surrounding the vases. Why not? Poly pride. ;)
Wedding Cake:
Either a 3 tiered round or square cake with navy ribbon and yellow and green flowers.

Pink orchids and brown ribbon decorated the simple white cake.

Food:
I wouldn't do food since there will be a separate luau.

Assorted candies and mini takeout containers for people to fill. Cute?
OR

Dessert buffet. Yummy!
You could always do cupcakes or sheet cake.

Color Palette

Rachel. You should consider changing your blue from cobalt to navy. It'll be easier to find things in that shade. Also, I like the idea of navy bridesmaids dresses with a yellow sash and yellow heels. This is just my opinion of course. ;)
