Brown suits w/ wheat accent boutonniers
Ivory calla lillies w/ hypernicum (coffee berry - comes in reds, browns, oranges...)
Single sunflower boutonnier - if you like yellow as a possible accent, this could be a good way to tie in the groomsmen with the rest of the decor. you could use sunflowers in centerpieces, on cake, mixed in with ivory roses, brown calla lillies, etc.
Single Calla lilly w/ bear grass and miniature orchids (orchids can come in brownish tones too)
Calla lilly w/ seeded Eucalyptus (calla comes in ivory, brown, yellow...)
Fiddlehead fern w/ poppy pod - this is a very unique boutonniere and you can use a subtle matte floral spray to color the poppy pod to a latte or brushed gold color. again, good way to tie groomsmen to rest of wedding color scheme
LOVE the fiddlehead fern! :)
good use of accent color on bridesmaid dresses (even though you don't like light blue) - you could switch our currently brown sashes to a latte, pale yellow or buttercreme color if you wanted. an easy, inexpensive way to work in whatever accent color/s you come up with
again, good use of latte accent color int he bridesmaid dresses
these are very interesting, but subtle bouquets. LOVE the chocolate cosmos tucked in.
i know you don't like orange - but wanted to show you a few examples of how burnt oranges work well with ivory, yellow and brown
a deep purple is the main hue here but imagine if you changed the purple to a chocolate brown (callas, dresses, etc.) a good idea of how your bouquet might work with flowers of the bridesmaids...
Deep purple callas w/ sunflowers
These are the roses I was talking about... the color is so deep they almost look brown. This bouquet is accented with macara and cymbidium orchids, hypericum berries...
Good use of fiddlehead ferns and hydrangea - again, remember that hydrangeas can come in browns and ivorys
Ivory calla lillies w/ bear grass and some sort of willows sticking out of there
roses, orchids and coffee berries (hypernicum)
bad picture, but good use of yellow w/ seeded eucalyptus
Main focus in this bouquet is the brown sunflower. These could be amazing!! in any final color scheme you end up using... just wanted to know that all brown sunflowers exist and are in season in october!! yeah!
sunflowers, brown sunflowers, dahlias, coffee berries
i know you don't like the orange, but wanted to give you an example of a very fall, festive centerpiece
eh, don't know why i picked this one....
probably too orange for you, but imagine if you changed the yellow calla lillies to ivory. and the red dahlias to a latte colored flower...
yellow w/ brown cosmos (brown cosmos are sometimes a deep purple and can work well in a chocolate brown color scheme - they often show up brown in pictures)
cymbidium orchids (can have chocolate brown throats) and would accent almost ANY decor
more sunflowers tied with raffia - simple, inexpensive
Chocolate cosmos - a GOOD brown flower
Cymbidiums and hydrangea - just to show you how dynamic hydrangeas can be
a simple centerpiece of bundled wheat, chocolate brown candles and some sort of foliage (you could even use sea oats instead of wheat in order to tie in the beach atmosphere of the East Beach location)
Thought this was a nice, simple centerpiece (you could take out the orange flowers and substitute ivory or brown accent flowers, brown votive holders
Simple sunflower centerpieces. You could find a brownish leaf to wrap around the inside of the container instead of green.
I thought this was a very simple accent piece. Love the look of jars - very simple, chic and understated
Cool succulent centerpiece. Probably a bit more expensive on the east coast since succulents are more abundant out here... just had to throw it in. :)
Table setup w/ the colors you're thinking about.
Another table setup using chocolate, ivory and gold
Ivory, chocolate and white. (Wanted to show you what decor would look like if you just used those colors...)
another setup w/ a hydrangea centerpiece - again, hydrangeas come in many different colors
probably too much orange - but I liked how dynamic the gold chargers look on the table against the chocolate brown linens
I put in a few cakes in the next slides for inspiration. This one is chocolate brown, ivory and yellow. Very good colors together.
Another cool chocolate cake w/ hydrangea accents
I liked the color scheme here - Chocolate brown, ivory and latte...
Another example of the brown/yellow combo
Another cake w/ yellow/ivory combo (could easily add in some chocolate brown...)
Finally... I threw in some inspiration from one of your favorite food groups - CHOCOLATE!! You NEED a candy table at your reception! I mean HELLO!!! :)
Kind of a cute example of how you can tie in yellow w/ brown...
Again, I was trying to think of what you enjoy most... and chocolate came to mind. Why not have your color palette be Dark brown and Ivory w/ latte and gold accents?! (yellow could also easily be tied into this palette...)
I liked this latte color w/ ivory ribbon. (This is a table gift...)
Again, the different shades of chocolates. :)
FINALLY, make sure you take into consideration the colors of the East Beach club... From what I could see on the internet - they look like muted, craftsman colors... just a reminder.
