Wedding color question: ivory and white mixed?

My dress is egg shell, which is not bright white, but not quite ivory, its closer to white. The top of my dress has bright white lace on it. Will it look weird if my flower girl is in a light ivory dress and my groomsmen and groom wear ivory shirts under their black ties? Will is look weird if everything is ivory but I'm more white???

Wedding color question: ivory and white mixed?
Heck no, I think that would be beautiful!!!
Reply:no its supossed to be that way!
Reply:That should be beautiful!! You are the centerpiece to your wedding, and you need to stand out! This is just suttle enough to put you in the spotlight. My only suggestion is to mix in a accent color and make it dark, like a dark burgandy, green or blue. That way nothing blends too well like if you used a soft accent color. You don't want everything to fade into the background!!
Reply:I really don't think people will notice and if they do say "I wanted my colors to be different", but you should be fine. CONGRATULATIONS!


Your wedding sounds beautiful.


Best of luck!!
Reply:yea probly
Reply:I don't think so...the bride should always stand out from her bridal party, and I think it would be beautiful to have you in white and the rest in ivory.
Reply:The bride is supposed to be more white. I think it sounds nice!
Reply:My only concern would be if in your pictures because the whites are contrasting that the people in the ivory, especially the mens shirts, will look dirty. Know what I mean? Try putting on your dress and have your mom or MOH stand next to you in a shirt or something in the same color as the ivory and see how it looks, just to be sure before you make any final decisions.
Reply:The groomsmen should wear white shirts to accent the white of your dress. The flower girl should wear a dress as close to the egg shell color or the color of your flowers.
Reply:I dont know? I'd have to see the colors together. You should get a piece of the materials and try to match it to your dress. But in my opinion if its kinda white and ivory together i dont think it will look bad at all.
Reply:Well the idea is that you would be more white than anyone else, some time ago wedding dresses only came in stark white, egg shell, ivory and the like were unheard of. However, you do seem like you have a plethora of similar but different colors going on there...I was confused reading it and I'm sure it will look confusing to see it. Try to keep the flower girl's dress as similar to yours as possible..if the top of your dress is bright white and the most prominent color, then your flower girl's dress should be bright white (avoid two-tones whenever possible). The groomsmens shirts and accessory should match your bridesmaids attire (you didn't mention them at all). Whatever is their primary color should be evident in your groomsmens shirt, vest, tie and/or boutonniere. I would strongly discourage you from having your bridesmaids in anything resembling cream, ivory or white - YOU should stand out among all others. Good luck.
Reply:No, it will look nice and in pictures you might not even be able to tell..... Ivory and white photograph as white.
Reply:Well, traditionally the bride is the only one in white.


This is to show purity. If you like ivory for your bridesmaids, then I don't see why they couldn't be in ivory with you in white. I do think that adding an accent color may be benfical though. Otherwise everything may look washed out. To may colors that are in the same shade tend to do that. Trying having the groomsmen wear ivory shirts and have the bridesmaids in a color that would accent the ivory well. Maybe a deep blue or mauve color if you are getting married in the fall. Maybe a lighter blue or peach type color if you are getting married in spring.
Reply:hi i think it would beuatiful. just wondering what you picked for your flowers?
Reply:i think its ur wedding so u need to stand out from the rest... sounds beautiful... congrats
Reply:Only you will know the difference! These colors are so close that it will not be an issue. Just enjoy yourself and remember to plan for a "Big Marriage" while you're planning your "Big Wedding". Congratulations and best wishes!
Reply:I think it sounds beautiful!!!!


At my wedding, the best man wore a black shirt with burgundy vest and tie while the groom wore a white shirt and black vest and tie. Everyone told me it would look funny but it came out beautiful. If you are really concerned about it. Try on your dress and hold the flower girls dress up to you... but I honestly think it sounds wonderful. I love the idea of an eggshell dress and light mocha colored bridesmaid dresses!
Reply:I think that would be so beautiful. It's your day do whatever you thinmk would look good.
Reply:I did the ivory thing for my wedding. I wore an ivory dress and the groom wore an ivory shirt but the rest of the guys wore white shirts and the girls wore sage dresses. I did not make anything else white besides the guys shirts. I'm not big on ivory and white together, its either one or the other. I mean that is just my opinion, I would say you either go white or ivory but there are other people who would probably say it wouldn't really matter. I even matched my decorations, nothing was white. Im sure whatever choice you make, everything will look beautiful. Congrats and Enjoy. The night flies by......
Reply:Nope. More reason for you to stand out on your big day! LOVE IT!
Reply:I don't think so, the bride should look different cause ALL eyes will b on u
Reply:no. for wut ur describing it look very pretty.


Hawaiian Luau (Graduation)?

I am having a graduation party at my house for all my senior friends. I am cleaning out my garage and covering all the walls with blue sheets and fabric. I want to cover the floor with sand but idk how much it is or if my dad approves. I am going to keep the garage doors open (the big ones where the cars come in) and hang paper lanterns in the door ways. I am going to use card board and paint bright signs that say beach this way and stuff like that.. I am also going to make a cardboard surf board with an ocean view on it. I am getting an inflatable palm tree and some flower petals to spread around. I am hoping to get round tables and cover the tops with blue or green table cloths and wrap a grass table skirt around each. For the tops of the tables I want to have either Hawaiian looking flowers or a coconut candle in the center surrounded by seashells. Also on the ceiling I want to have a blue sheer fabric with white Christmas lights. I will probably have a few beach balls laying around. My dad is making me this tiki bar (a cheap one) using plywood for the table top and using bamboo rods to hold up the top. I am planning on covering it the same way I will do the tables with a table cloth and grass skirt and a grass skirt also for the top (roof) of the tiki bar. I was going to make a little area where people could change but I don't know how I could do that. I was going to make it out of fabric but I thought people could easily pull it open so it wouldn’t be too private. Oh yeah I was also going to get a fish net and hang it over the fabric wall and put fish and sea shells in it. Out side I want to have tiki torches, a sign, maybe balloons. We have this huge black tarp that we always use as a slip and slide, I know its kind of juvenile but it's so much fun! I was thinking about renting a volley ball net, but I’m not sure about that yet. I was also going to have music playing in the garage to set a mood. For food I was going to have hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and salsa and drinks with cocktail parasols to serve at the tiki bar. For gift bags I was going to give stuff like seashell necklaces, ocean or coconut scented soaps and sprays, surf board key chains, maybe a cute notebook idk tell me if you have any ideas especially for guys. But yeah that’s about it if you have any ideas please let me know. If u have done a luau tell me how yours went thanks. I am buying my stuff from oriental trading, dollar tree and wall-mart.

Hawaiian Luau (Graduation)?
Its sounds like you have planned a great party theme.





Pineapples make great centerpieces standing alone with some palm frawns laying around. Or you can core them the day of the party and insert tapered candles, plus you can serve the pineapple to your guest or add to the drink carousels. Due a sample test in advance (good pineapple coring is kind of tricky)





Good gifts for guys are Frisbees or squirt guns. (yes, they are juvenile also, but they are fun entertainment.)





One idea is too put the tiki bar in front of the changing area so someone will be around to stand guard.





Enjoy your Graduation party.
Reply:if u are gonna play any games make a few guest wear grassskirts and then give them a hulaHoop see who can do it best, also fresh fruit would be nice as snack! Have fun Report It

What is a good anime to watch?
check out gantz


came out just a little before samurai champloo its full of action has some comedy good gore excellent animation and story line


it is really hard to follow though you have to pay lots of attention to it. lots of twists in story. took me 4 times through just to get most of story. awesome awesome anime.


you can watch at veoh.com


not reccomended for young. to violent to gory strong language some brief nudity.


ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
Reply:I love Samurai 7, it's on the independent film channel in the states.
Reply:Most of those anime i have watched, so basically you sound like you'd like what i watch. I suggest the following:


kaze no stigma, shining tears x wind, saint beast, shounen onmyouji, harukanaru toki no nakade, tactics, full moon wo sagashite, kamikaze kaitou jeanne, d n angel, yu yu hakasho, shura no toki, get backers, darker than black, scrapped princess, princess prinxcess(really funny), romeo x juliet, kirarin revolution.


There are more if you want to contact me, but i believe that this is enough ^.^
Reply:I really suggest you watch naruto and bleach, they are really good anime to watch. Theyr'e funny and have lots of action. Good luck.
Reply:Where do u find all these anime i've never heard of most of them
Reply:One of my favorite series that isn't on your list is Gundam Seed. It has a fairly good story line, and it's extremely addictive once you get into it. While it is sort of like a soap opera, it's still extremely good! There are 50 episodes, and it even has a sequel (Gundam Seed Destiny). I would highly recommend it!
Reply:Wow. You're sure a goer in anime.


I suggest two animes that have left me satisfied: Ergo Proxy and Princess Tutu. I know that you're gonna say "I ain't watching something called Princess Tutu." But the storyline if darker than you think and though it pertains to girls, I still highly recommend it. Ergo Proxy is futuristic, dark, and awesome.





But truly!! How could you not like Death Note? It's the best anime ever. I suggest you go back to it or else you're missing something.
Reply:Ouran High School Host Club


La Corda D'oro

Reply:I say Yu Yu Hakusho,but there's not much yaoi/yuri unless you see the movie(with Yoko/Kurama and Kuronue),and the battle between Kurama and Karasu.But there are tons of yaoi/yuri pics of it on photobucket.You might also try Loveless.That'd be your major source(not much comedy,though.Just everything else)
Reply:I strongly recommend:





Peacemaker Kurogane (action/comedy)


Nana (Shoujo/comedy/rock n roll)


Cowboy Bebop (action/comedy/sci-fi)


Trigun (action/comedy/sci-fi)


School Rumble (comedy/romance/school life)


Karin (comedy/ecchi/romance/school life)


Melancholy of haruhi suzumiya (comedy/ecchi/sci-fi/school life/romance)





I've watched all of them. And i've absolutely loved them all, all for different reasons. if you liek reading manga, i suggest that you also try reading nana, which is absolutely addictive!
Reply:May i reccomend Mahou Sensei Negima and Negima!? - the original manga is written by the same author of Love Hina (Ken Akamatsu) but this story has a bit more action (it's based around magic and mages but with a shcool life twist). Mahou Sensei Negima is based on the first few volumes of manga but has a very contraversial ending written just for the anime - many fans say this is a bad series but that is based on comparisson to the manga, looked at as a seperate story it's a very good series. Negima!? is the second series: it is based on the same characters and settings from the manga but has an entirely new story written for it, it's only been fansubbed up to episode 16 but it's shaping up to be better than Mahou Sensei Negima, with better art and a new compelling story line.





The second series i reccommend is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, i'm only just getting into this series but it's freaking fantastic. It's based on a series of japanese novels: (which i'd also reccommend reading after or before watching the anime - there fantastic aswell http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.... ). It's based on school life but is filled with supernatural goings on - it sounds quite dull but it's so compellings fans have already started a religion called Haruhiism.





Both very excellent series which both fall into the action/comedy/a bit of romance and although i havn't seen any yet, someone told me The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has yuri in it :)
Reply:gravitation sounds like the anime for you. It has comedy, romance, yaoi, and some action every once in a while. Really awesome


Theme for bathroom?

My bathroom walls are this horiable flower print and look like the people before never cleaned them, I wanna paint them but need a theme first. I thought about pink roses, shells, or butterflies, Any ideas please? I live about 45 minutes from the beach is why I thought about shells.

Theme for bathroom?
I went to those people and they had a lighthouse theme in their bathroom. It was really good. May be you should consider that.
Reply:it sounds like you have wallpaper in there that needs to be stripped first.


What is your bathroom connected to? Hallway? Bedroom?


What is the rest of your house like?


My house looks tuscan, so I continued the colors and theme to my bathroom.


What color is the counter and sink? What is the floor like? How about a japanese outdoor garden look?
Reply:my girlfriend has fish in her bathroom and it is very nice


she has a shower curtain with all kinds of fish towels


with fish border fish hanging on the wall it is very colorful and she can put just about any color in there and it works.
Reply:Instead of stripping and paint the walls, you can try placing some wood planking in the room. Since it is a bathroom, you may just need about 2 pkg of 14 sq.ft. cover the surface. This may be less work than the stripping and painting. Then you can paint or keep it natural. and you can go with the beach scene or bamboo theme or any theme you may like. Good luck to you.
Reply:Well you could do themes like from other countries too, such as Asia, or Africa..those are always fun =)
Reply:I think a beachy theme would be great. You could paint the walls blue and hang pictures that have a beach scene. You could place shells and/or bowls of sea glass on top of the toilet tank and/or window sill as decorations. Maybe you could also find some towels that have a sea shell embroidered on them. I saw a cute shower curtain on the Target website (target.com) that had sea horses and ribbons...it is really cute and in keeping with the beachy/ocean theme.
Reply:I would use primer over the wallpaper (yes it can be done) and then paint it blue. Take taupe sheers and drape over the window and use starfish as the tiebacks. Take wood shelves and glue shells to the front of the shelves. Use rattan placemats as a frame for a background of roses,shells and pearls.

Wedding Centerpieces?

I am getting married this august and my colors are tiffany blue %26amp; cream. I am also using beach shells, does anyone have any ideas for table centerpieces for my reception? I wanted to use floating candles and shells...... and a few flowers. Preferabbly white flowers. I would appreciate any ideas, links, or pictures.

Wedding Centerpieces?
What if you used floating seashell shaped candles like these:


https://www.rawlight.com.au/osc/images/r...


You could place some blue submersible floralytes at the bottom of the bowls to give it a nice glow.


Then, what you could do is take a few seashells and white rose petals and scatter them around the floating candle bowl.


They also have these starfish votive candles that you could place around the bowl as well... http://www.favorstudio.com/ProductImages...
Reply:Ive got ideas galore. Beach is pretty easy.


You could use a vase or bowl or something (decorative wide glass something or another like a fish bowl or something) and put sand and shells in the bottom, the put a candle in it, maybe a light blue (kinda tiffany colored).


Or get some sort of dish, even the asian ones with the square plates as long as they have sides. Add sand and shells once again, but you have more room to play with do 3 candles all in staggered sizes, you could probably even add beachy flowers to these right before the guests got there.





Those are the best I have.





Here are sme ideas of what you can put the sand and stuff in.

There are other ones, those all I believe run about 10 dollars a piece. You can fill any vase or glassware with all of the things as long as they are wide enough for a candle or something

Reply:you can do a vase with shells at the bottom and a fish or two in it, goldfishes would work if you dont want to get anything too expensive. if ou still want to use flowers u can still do one or two floating flowers, just cut off the stem and let them float at the top of the vase. or u can use a shorter fish bowl and still do the same thing.
Reply:No fish on the tables! Please. That's worse than potted plants with actual dirt! yuck.





What you could do is find some very low very shallow rectangled vases. You could place shells at the bottle and float gardenias at the top.





You could also float candles (which would cut down on your cost of the gardenias).
Reply:I have over 50 different arrangements I found on the net before I got married. Send me an email and I will send you a copy. Trust me you'll love them.


Poem analysis, Helpp!! ....help me analyse my poem?

I WENT to the dances at Chandlerville,


And played snap-out at Winchester.


One time we changed partners,


Driving home in the moonlight of middle June,


And then I found Davis. 5


We were married and lived together for seventy years,


Enjoying, working, raising the twelve children,


Eight of whom we lost


Ere I had reached the age of sixty.


I spun, I wove, I kept the house, I nursed the sick, 10


I made the garden, and for holiday


Rambled over the fields where sang the larks,


And by Spoon River gathering many a shell,


And many a flower and medicinal weed—


Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys. 15


At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all,


And passed to a sweet repose.


What is this I hear of sorrow and weariness,


Anger, discontent and drooping hopes?


Degenerate sons and daughters, 20


Life is too strong for you—


It takes life to love Life.

Poem analysis, Helpp!! ....help me analyse my poem?
okay analyzed this poem in English. The speaker is an old woman she is saying she has endured many hardships and that even so she has lived a happy life. She out lived 8 of her kids and done many things and was married happily for a long time. She is telling the younger generation to enjoy life and live life to the fullest it takes life to love life.


Kola nut harvesting knife?

The kola nut, or bitter cola, (Cola vera, Cola acuminata, Cola nitida) is a seed part from a tree from the Sterculiaceae family. The trees are native to Central and Western Africa, but are now found in the West Indies and





Brazil, where they were introduced by African slaves. All three species are used as a stimulant and are prepared in the same manner. The kola tree grows to approximately 40 ft (12 m) in height, and has white to yellow flowers with spots that range from red to purple. The kola tree's leaves are 6–8 in long (15–20 cm) and the tree bears fruit that is shaped like a star. Inside the fruit, about a dozen round or square seeds can be found in a white seed shell.

Kola nut harvesting knife?
A hand held nut cracker or sheer would work, most nut harvesting is done with a shaker hopper and screen.
