Baseball Decor
Wedding decor ideas?
We are getting married in a church and will have a private reception to follow there also. Our colors are hot pink, dark pink, Grey, and Navy as an accent. We dont really have a theme in mind because i cant come up with one. The bridesmaids are wearing Grey knee length bubble shirt dresses with hot pink heels. I dont really know what the guys need to wear, i was thinking navy suits but i dont know if thats a good idea or not. I would love for my 2 flower girls to wear hot pink dresses but i havent found any. The only decor we are planning is a variety of pink flowers. My fiancee wants a New York Yankees Baseball grooms cake. The wedding cake is going to be ivory three layer with pink ribbon design on it.We are having fingerfoods at the reception and a band. the chairs that we are using are a light blue color and i dont know what to do to change them. I need some ideas on the decor and the suits and anything else you would like to comment about. Thanks for your help!
Your color choices are very fashion forward...and might not be understood or liked by everyone, but it sounds like you've already got some good ideas on how to spread the colors out so they make sense. I think the groomsmen should wear the dark blue, and then they could wear a pink tie or a pink handkerchief tucked into their jacket pockets. Instead of pink for the flower girls why not try the gray color with a hot pink sash around their wastes or hot pink trim around the bottom of the skirt?
As for the decor...try gray table cloths with a dark blue table runner down the middle and the pink flowers in clear vases on top of them. For the head table, if you're having a head table you could reverse the colors, or just use the dark blue fabric and "drape" it so that it's very prevalent...then use the pink flowers wherever you attach the fabric to the table so that you get that bright pop of color.
You could also dress up the chairs by using dark blue fabric (or very thick ribbon) tied around the chair with a bow at the back...then you could add the pink flowers where the bow is, or in place of the bow so that's what you'll see on the back of each chair.
Also, just a thought, but instead of using gray you could substitute silver in its place in some cases. It will still keep the feel of the Yankees colors there, but dress it up a little bit.
Hope that helps...
Congratulations and Good Luck!

Ideas For Bedroom Decorating Themes
The idea of having a themed bedroom which includes matching furniture, walls, linen etc should not just be limited to a child's bedroom but it can also be done to an adult room as well. In this article we will look at some bedroom decorating themes which you may wish to consider when redecorating the bedrooms in your own home.
The best thing about decorating and interior design is that it gives you a great chance to not only exercise your creativity but express your personality and that of the person whose room your are decorating on it.
Many children nowadays love to have a room that is themed and the most popular themes around are:-
Animals - Jungle or Nature especially
Cowboys
Fairies - Including princesses, fairy tales or other mythical creatures
Dinosaurs
Space - Including starts, rockets etc.
Sports - They may want a football, basketball or baseball themed room. Some even go for the motor sport theme to their rooms.
It is best when deciding upon a theme for a child's room that they let them be involved with the decision as they will not only prefer the end result it will also give them a sense of ownership and responsibility (which may well encourage them to keep the room clean and tidy).
However it is important to remember that child's taste changes rapidly and so it is important that you choose a theme that they will enjoy growing up in. So rather than choosing a specific theme go for a more general theme instead.
As for an adult bedroom there is no reason why it should not be theme in the same way as you would with a child's. Although most adults do prefer a much more subtle approach. Generally adult bedroom themes to be more general or abstract rather than specifically based around a certain theme.
Such themes that you may well consider are as follows for an adult bedroom.
Zen - which provides a peaceful haven for the person whose room it is.
Gothic - This can certainly add interest to a bedroom, but remember it needs a room with lots of space because of the use of dark and bold colours in it.
Rustic - This provides a very country look and is well suited to older style homes.
So as you can see there are a wide variety of bedroom decorating themes available but why not spend some time looking on the internet or in decorating magazines to find a design which you feel suits your personality or the personality of the person whose room is being decorated.
