Pretty colours

So I'm basically inept at all this wedding planning business.
Until veeeery recently I thought a wedding theme was dressing up as Shrek, or having 'tropical' food, or making it look like the 1920s at your reception, but I've since become aware that your wedding theme are the colours.
I thought colours would be easy. I love colours. I trawl through the internet to find RGB (or HEX codes) to put into my range of desktop publishing programs to get all sorts of colours. I love it.
But picking colours for my wedding is just driving me mad!
So without further adieu, these are the colours that I have picked for mine and The Man's wedding in December:

Oyster

Cream

Fern

Ivory

Mushroom

Mulberry

It was going to have more purple, but then I decided to use shades of white.
Now I'm too far into the planning process to change the colours again, so these are how they will have to stay! And there'll probably be a bit more purple and green, but the main idea was to have mostly shades of white that wouldn't clash with the walls at the reception venue which are a pinky colour - like this:

Light salmon

And apparently just saying that my colours are cream and green and purple isn't specific enough.
LOL

Airy fairy (lights)

Recap:
The other day I was having a stress because I didn't know how I was going to decorate a huge mega space in which I can't stick things to walls (and rightly so because it is a veeeery old building) and I threw up a few options of what I (*cough* me and the Man) can do to decorate it to make it seem less like a massive room and more interesting. And I feel better about the decoration side - I think I'll be spending all my spare dollars (and time) begging, borrowing and stealing fairy lights and I'll figure out some way to hook them up to make an effect like this:

The above picture was on another post of mine - Decorating a huge mega space without really knowing how... - which had a lot of my decorating ideas on it BUT the original picture comes from another blog called West Aussie Wedding. I am trying to be good in crediting where I have borrowed (stolen) my pictures from.

This photo was taken outdoors. Our reception will be indoors with the windows open as I suspect that it might be a bit warm. But then again, just because its the beginning of December doesn't mean it will be summery.

But I am getting beside the point.

Today I was thinking that I was almost certainly positive that I wanted fairy lights as the main decoration. Then I realised I had no idea of the dimensions of the reception space, so I had no idea of how many fairy lights I'd need. D'oh!

So as ours is a 'destination wedding' where its not in the same town as we live in, I was wondering how in fact I'd find out this information without having to drive to the reception space with a tape measure. I spent all day racking my brains, then thought 'Ah! I'll ring the people who hire it out! Brilliant'. And so I found my rental agreement form with their phone number and rang them up and the lady on the other end said she wasn't sure. Then she said 'Oh! It's on the agreement form!' and went to get one to look at it.

Then I looked at the piece of paper in my hand.

Which had a floor plan of the hall on it COMPLETE with dimensions.

I felt a bit stupid for wasting my time wondering.

Oh well!
