Ok, so my thoughts about decorative aspects of the wedding are becoming less amorphous. I think I'm scrapping the red from the colous scheme, because I found some nice fabric for the underskirt of my dress and I think I'm going to match everything to that, which means soft pink, fawn, and forest, olive and sage green.
And I was talking to the florist about my winter/medieval theme, and she suggested using rosemary (she's always wanted to use rosemary) and I think that would be cool, and then I was talking to my BM and she suggested taking it all the way and using parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. :P Which I think is a cool idea, I could play the song as we sign whatever or as a recessional. i have another song by medieval babes in mind for the processional(Io voluntieri). And then for favours (and I sure this has been done before, but it would be cheap and easy) jars of the four spices with ribbons in my colours, or just stickers with a message about the symbolism of the herb and a design in my colours. And the potted herbs as centerpieces.
