Wedding Flowers
Lotus
There's something not only lovely about lotus flowers, but spiritual. I have not idea if they are ever used for wedding, and whether they are even available.

But look at this nifty site for lotus favors that I ran across

http://www.blissweddingsmarket.com/store/000187.htm



"This flower represents four virtues in the Buddhist religion as well as being the cornerstone of Asian flower culture. Sutras say the closed inner petals and open ring of outer petals of the lotus blossom represent four virtues: scent, purity, softness, and lovliness. Delicate and spiritual, use this flower floating in glass bowls of water or as a shining addition to your bouquet."

Reception Venue?
Loew’s Jersey Theatre
"Fleeing the island is the best way to save a few, but go too far and risk dealing with pricey transportation rentals and grumpy guests. A great nearby option is the Loew’s Jersey Theatre. Built in 1929, it has vintage Hollywood panache. A fee of $2,500 gets you a whopping twelve hours in the bi-level space for 180 guests (seated). As far as wedding venues go, having one for twelve hours is a lifetime."

Lots of good New York ideas:

Cigar Rolling Station?
http://www.ourweddingplus.com/blog/category/cigar-roller-unique-ideas/
"The latest trend that will definitely make your wedding stand out from the rest. The cigar rollers will entertain your guest as they demonstrate the cigar rolling process. Some companies will even come with custom cigar labels for your event."

Chocolate Fountain?
With marshmallows/pretzels/strawberries/graham crackers)

A photo Booth?
"Get one that produces double film strips (NYC photo booth, from $1,500; 212-537-6213; nycphotobooth.com). Have an attendant cut each down the middle—guests keep one strip, and the other can be pasted into your guest book. “Have each guest write a message to go with it,” says Andrea Most Gottschall of A Most Creative Affair. Photographer Barnaby Draper sets up a mini-studio at the reception, building walls to enclose an unmanned camera standing on a tripod. Guests stand on the X and pull a shutter release to take their self-portraits ($1,500)."

Blue
Deciding on Seamist?
I've been leaning towards a "Tiffany-Blue" & white color scheme with maybe some subtle orange/pink? accents? It seems awfully elegant.

With calla lillys & blue/white hydrangeas?

Wedding Hair Style
Down? Up?
It seems that most the updo is the most common style, and so elegant on so many. I'm wondering though if I ought to wear mine maybe like, half down? Curls in the back? Side part in front? Still browsing...

What Color?
Purple & Gold? Burgundy & Gold? Turqoise/Aqua?
I've been imaging a ruby red wedding: passionate, deep, emotional, the color of love - even toyed with the idea of a red dress.... But now I'm broadening my horizons: my parents wedding colors were beautiful - wouldn't it be a nice homage to them to use aqua? My Love mentioned that he likes purple and gold this evening which I never would have considered, but, maybe that could work? I've been exploring photos and website to get an idea of what's possible... (Which is how I found this site!) Hmmmm... Ideas?

So many choices!

<3

But it's pretty fun...

How do I decide?
Blue
I'm 34 and never felt a real need for a wedding. Now I have an ideal quest list of 250. I have no idea yet what my budget will be. I've gone through 3 color schemes. And I don't know if it should be on the West or East Coast. Give me strength!
