I hope God helps me to explain what I really want to do. I love Colin Cowie decorations. They are elegant, and extremely original. I think I'm going to go with one of the young lady's suggestions and do a red rose theme for the wedding. I love everything about it! Now, I have a few things that I would like to try but no idea how to pull it off. I really need some crafty suggestions!!! OK, first, I would love to get married under an arch filled with dozens upon dozens of roses. I would like it covered so throroughly with roses that the actual metal is undetectable. Any idea how to physically get the arch covered? I can see the idea but no way to create it. 2. I would love suggestions of how to incorporate roses and candelight into my decorations of the pews. How do I get the candles to stay up on the pews? How do I include the roses besides the ones that the flower girls put in the aisles? 3. Any suggestions for the reception tables? Again, lots of candlelight and roses. Colin Cowie usually has long tables hooked together and forgoes the individual round tables. Do you think you would like this or does it look weird? 4. Finally, please check out the website I list below. I love the ball of roses at the party he threw for Oprah. How in the world do I recreate this on a smaller scale? I am in love with these decorations! Please check them out and send over your support and suggestions. I think together we can figure this thing out!!!

You are not alone, he is my favorite. As a matter of fact, I just did a red rose topiary based on his designs. I love the long table concept as well, but I've only been able to use that concept at one of the recpetion I did. Not too many people are ready for that. You don't have a dilemma, you just need guidence, it's pretty easy. When is the wedding again, and where? That way I can tell you where to go to get the supplies you'll need. I can visualize what you want, and I think it's going to be spectacular and breath taking!
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
