beach themed table runners image
Lacey
Hey all, so my fiancée proposed to me at our favorite spot, a waterfall. So in light of that we have decided to do a waterfall theme wedding with blue silver and white. (The blue is the blue in a peacock feather) Now I am finding a lot in beach, but no thank you. I want waterfall. And I am planning on DIYing my wedding so that's not a problem. Would just like any tips, or site suggestions, you could give. Thank you so much!!
Answer
The best solution would be to have a wedding at a waterfall. If that isn't a possibility, you might add specific touches that are keeping with the theme. That sounds like what you want. But you may have to get creative on this, which you've probably discovered. (Like you said, for a beach theme, you can always bring in sand and sea shells, but you can't actually carry a waterfall.)
Turn your venue into a art piece that is reminiscent of a waterfall. Plenty of greenery and stones might help with the setting. Maybe a table-top waterfall fountain on the guest book table or at the entrance to help set the stage for the theme. http://www.shopping.com/Alpine-Alpine-WIN218-Tabletop-Waterfall-Fountain/prices
cascading blue flowers in your arrangements
Reception: White table clothes with a blue table runner that is curved a bit and allowed to hang off the tables on both sides. (Wish I could draw a picture of this.)
Bride's cake is white with a blue cascade of flowers down one side. http://amandascakes.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/aj117.jpg
or this golf themed cake without the golf http://media.cakecentral.com/gallery/631023/1286721830.jpg
or you could even do in white, but with a touch of waterfall http://palermobakery.com/wp-content/uploads/Pwc-10016a.jpg (elegant, but the waterfall theme is still very much there)

If any of these cakes are workable, then go from there with your decor. For example, if you use the cake with the white waterfall, you can use white table runners that are curved on top of the tables and allowed to fall off the sides of the white table cloth.
It wouldn't SCREAM waterfall, but the effect could be stunning.
napkins match the table runners, if possible
exotic flowers
sounds like fun.....enjoy planning

Autumn decoration suggestions?
Crazybird
Over the past year, we've decorated our apartment pretty beach-themed. Now that it's autumn (my favorite time of year), I'd like to add some autumn-y decorations, without horribly clashing with the bright blues and greens and artwork that's pictures of the beach and palm trees. I have a ton of decorations (little stuffed pumpkins, table cloths in oranges reds and yellows, leaf table runners ect...) Any suggestions on how to add those decorations in would be much appriciated!

The colors blend very well!
Use the colors in candles, throws and decorations
Brown rocks can be thrown in with a little orange pumpkin and tie an orange or auburn ribbon around a blue or white candle.
the artwork unfortunately will have to stay, but to avert eyes off of it, put a small table on the wall underneath if if you can, and make it an autum focal point with pumpkind, leaves and candles on a nice opaque plate
Add shimmer to help blend in the pillows and ribbons by using golden, orange or silver toned ribbon or pillows.
Incorporate natural wood and rustic textures to give a beachy feel as well, use a dark wooden bowl or plate to place your pumpkins, seashells and candles on.
Make a beach themed wreath using starfish, seagrass and fall colored leaves and acorns
fill an old seashell with orange spice scented candle wax
