What are good colors for a summer wedding?
I am getting married June of 2008. My mom eloped so I thought I'd let her feel free to help me a little more then probably what she should for my wedding. I am going with a tropical theme because I want to use orchirds for my flowers. My mom thinks I should use the color lime green. Any suggestions on what could match with lime green?
What are good colors for a summer wedding?
I think lime green is a horrid wedding color. All the bridesmaids in lime green? Ick. Sorry, just IMHO.
Reply:I would say either go with tropical/ hawaiin colors or like easterish colors
Reply:actually white and lime go together... you could also go for pink. just make sure NO orange. that would not be a good color combo. brown would look nice... it's hard to tell w/o the exact shade of green, but make sure it's a sort of natural looking shade, not a garish skating rink sort of color. (my cousin just had her wedding with greens and browns and it looked really nice.) whatever you choose, make sure they look good together... clashing is bad for weddings.
Good luck! I hope you have an amazing wedding!
Reply:I am getting married in July and I am using chocolate brown and sky/river blue. I love it for an outside woodlawn wedding. Beats same old hotel white!
Reply:Go to a fabric store and look at tropical print fabrics that include lime green in the pattern. There should be a few to choose from. The fabric you pick will have more colors than just the green, so you can see what ones you really like.
You can also ask the people at the fabric store to help with colors that go well with lime green. Buy a bit of fabric to use when picking out the other items (napkins, flowers, invitations, etc).
Congratulations!
Reply:Green, blue, and yellow.
Reply:i would say: umm.....white, purple and pink, maybe green. any good colors like that.or yellow
Reply:orange and lime green are gorgeous together! Congrats!
Reply:pale pink, and orange, those are good colors to go with lime green, really any bright color would look good, bright purples, pinks, etc.
Reply:pink
Reply:White, pink. You can look at tropical flowers and see what nature has come up with. LIke leis and such. CONGRATS!

About tropical rainforest plants?
Help on finding a flower that is very attractive to butterflies (especially because of their color) please tell me the name of the FLOWER not tree....also, can you tell me the dangers that might be happened to the plant (especially natural ones such as by animals or disasters, not caused litterally by us humans)
About tropical rainforest plants?
Why did you say "name of the FLOWER not tree" -- you do realize that all angiosperm trees produce flowers (and that the flower produced by the tree does not have a separate name)? Perhaps you meant herb or shrub...
To the poster talking about specificity of butterflies: it's not true that all butterflies pollinate only a single plant species. Granted, there are some amazing cases of specialized pollination in butterflies, but that is not universal.
Reply:Butterflies are very specific. They will only go for one plant so you decide which butterfly you like and get the right plant. For example, here in North Queensland we grow Euodea spp to attract Ulysses Blue butterflys.

What is the best pland for my garden?
I have a lot of little plants that look okay, but I need some fast growing, darker plants for the back of my garden to give the flowers in front a "foil" to make them stand out better.
I like tropical plants but don't know anything about them. My biggest issue is that one side of the garden is full sun all day every day and every season. The other side is always shaded.
Any suggestions?
What is the best pland for my garden?
for the back with full sun and since you like tropical try canna lilies or a vining plant like trump[et vine..crotons add a splash of colour as well
for the shade try tall ferns or hosta or even elephant ears
riding boots

I did a tropical wedding last year and found all of the decorations I was looking for - and then some. The prices are the lowest out there and I, a professional event planner, always look there first.
You can even find small tropical print bags and goodies to fill them with for any children in attendance.
I hope that helps you!
Reply:Is there a Dollar Tree or Wal-Mart in your area? They normally provide cool looking merchandise at a more than reasonable price. A yard sale or two and a couple of thrift store visits may complete the merchants list.
Reply:Oriental traders I think is the name. They should have tropical (hawaiin flowers).

Short Story (1) - The best answer gets ten points! I have the beginning, can you write the best ending?
As they looked over the landscape, the sun shone through the clouds, glistening through the mist on the mountain's foothills.
This place had over a thousand years of history. Even through the dense jungle they could see the ruins of ancient temples and rock carvings. Around them, the parrots were squwaking and the tropical flowers were beaded with morning dew.
Something was beckening them to venture deeper . . .

it wasn't a voice, it was the sensations felt by millions of pilgrims to the site, drawing them to their God. As they drew nearer, the sensations of peace deepened and the awe of the place grew tenfold. Gazing up at the majestic ruins, they sensed the magnitude of the culture and peoples that built it. As they wandered through the empty streets, they could hear the whispers of street vendors, of the carts being drawn and the animals bawling out their myriad of sounds. They kept feeling the draw and the presence of something unseen, urging them deeper within the ruins.
As they neared a building that was left virtually unscathed, they noticed the fine craftsmanship on the building and the magnitude of their emotions blossomed. They approached it with baited breath and entered with reverence. All around a central altar, benches circled the entire building. Above the altar was a simple cross and a few words in the ancient tongue, etched in the stone below.
After struggling with the translations, they discovered the meaning. It read simply, "All who seek peace, may find it here". All of a sudden, they were filled with a glorious peace, that filled their entire being, and they knew that they had found the ancient God the natives had worshiped, and their own.

Reply:A sound, like a sorrowful moan, or a groan, almost sweet and melodic, but not human, not animal... We ventured further and came to a clearing, our mouths fell open as we stopped dead in our tracks, we paused in confused excitement and it was then we realized we just hiked from the parking lot to the front gates of Disney World, the journey was over, or was it just beginning?

Reply:Bert could feel the beat of his heart quicken deep in his chest a hot sweet smell assaulted his nostrills and he knew the time was near. suddenly the jungle went quiet. not a bird called, not an animal stirred. his gaze swepted across the beaded sweat on his partners brow. their eyes locked in common knowlege. yes, the waiting was over, it was time. with a shared gutrual scream they both fell forward. bert got the first slice and ernie followed a millesecond later nothing beats sharing pizza with your best mate.
