need ideas for wedding, colors bright pink yellow....outdoor wedding, indoor reception...? I am having an outdoor wedding at a local park that is ugly but there is no nice place close to where I live and I don't have money to go somewhere else so I figure I will work with what I have. My bridesmaid dresses are a lighter pink and my flowers are going to be calla lilies, tulips etc in brighter pink, yellow, orange, and a little bit of green and white. My dress is all white and the groom and groomsmen will be in traditional black and white tuxes. I found a pretty arbor to use at the park but need other decorating ideas...chairs are really old and ugly but dont think I can afford covers or bows for all of them. Our reception will be at our local elks lodge...also ugly :P I am wondering how much it would cost to do tulle over the walls and would appreciate any other ideas for centerpieces and things like that. Without evidence are doing finger foods and a potato bar so also any ideas for food?? Thanks!!!

He suggested getting married under the sakura blossoms in Japan, but I looked it up as a destination wedding and it sounds too complicated ;_; That would have been soooo pretty! Any pretty fruit orchards you know of? XD
