Meghan's+Prom+Ideas+for+Meeting+on+November+29

Okay everyone, here are my concerns:

1. I think the color turquoise is hard to work with for a spring/garden theme. Instead of using it, I believe we should stick with a much simple color scheme. It could be white/cream with light yellow, pink, or purple accents. When I think of turquoise, I associate it more with winter. I just don't think it matches up with the springtime vibe we're going for. Additionally, it's hard to find flowers and invitations that match up with it. I propose that we go forth with a color scheme that is specifically cream and light yellow. Let's keep the atmosphere light and happy. 2. Our theme. I do like the title "A Breath of Fresh Air," however I feel like we are not totally on agreement as to what this means. I think some of us are trying to capture an old fashioned beauty theme, while others are going for a springtime vibe. I, personally, prefer the springtime garden theme and think we should go with that since I am not really sure what the other one is. 3. I really liked the idea of luminaries, however, I could not find any that I was really sold on. Do you guys like the idea of plain white bag luminaries, or was anyone able to find any unique ones we could use?

My idea for a centerpiece: I wanted to come up with something original. I really do like the idea of the lanterns on the table, but wanted to build on it so it wasn't quite so simple. I feel the lanterns are appropriate for our theme, since lanterns are common in popular gardens, such as Central Park. I also like how they will add light to the tables and that they will be relatively small. This will allow people to see each other clearly.

I thought that instead of having just a cute little lantern, we could better capture the springtime vibe by adding a flower wreath to place it within. The first wreath I found is cheap, only about $8.00. It is not made out of real flowers, but metal ones. I like the way it looks and think the colors are really pretty. The second wreath I found is beautiful, but really expensive. The third one, the Daisy wreath, is probably my favorite. It would go along with my color scheme of cream/white and light yellow.

Below the table of wreaths, there is another table of lanterns we could use to put inside each wreath.

Let me know what you guys think of the idea of putting a wreath around the lantern.

Invitations:

1. [] this daisy invitation is only 96 cents when ordered in bulk! I realize it's a birthday invitation, but it's cheap and fits my idea of a theme and color scheme to a tee.

2. [] $2.10...not bad either.
