Welcome SweetP!
May is the perfect time to take advantage of the Spring/Summer vibe!
If you choose to do a beach theme, your options are limitless! You can do a 1)sunset/formal, yet intimate event, 2)a more casual, fun, yet still elegant daytime beach theme, and of course there is the later afternoon evening wedding, topped off with a Summer *bleep*tail hour, and finished with a full dance vibe for adults (or kids).
Your colors of pink and orange evoke a "fun" attitude, but you could still do formal, or casual either way.
I think by considering your colors, time of year and theme first, and getting a good understanding as soon as possible about what you can afford will help jog your mind about whatever ideas you and your FH (future husband) desires...make sure you always include his input (though make sure he's in the mood-and not overwhelm him with details), you all should have fun in these early planning stages....Always have some "wedding discussion and planning free" days where the wedding is not always the topic of discussion and try to keep it away from dinner and tv time-that should be you and your FH's personal time together.
Remember, a wedding is a 1-day event, and a marriage is a lifetime:)

Nicely said Bumble!!!
SweetP, it's so important to talk this over with your FH, and together come up with a Theme. Also, what time is the wedding? It helps to know these things. Your colors are excellent as they are and get into the groove of DIY. So much could be done to save money. So get back with me with a theme and a time for the wedding and I'll be more than happy to share some ideas with you.
Yes there is another Capricorn here too! Me. My b-day is one day after yours SweetP 1/6! As Plat said the ladies here are wonderful and very, very creative. All the best my sister!

Awwwww~Thanks Pamcrow!!!...I like that alot and I think I can handle the(diy)part too. It dosnt look like it would be too expensive either. Thank you ladies SOOOOOOO much. You have already started helping me think things through. I really appreciate it.
Glad to be of help. You can easily jazz these up with some rhinestones, maybe even adding a rhinestone letter or threading a rhinestone buckle through the ribbon. Have fun!!

Hello there SWEETP, I just signed your guestbook and it's absolutely wonderful. God is good my sister. Your little princess is so precious. I agree with her though, if she sees a camera pointing at her, why should she miss that opportunity. She's too cute for words. Again, congrats and happy planning!!!
