how would you organise you wedding

I want a medium size wedding.. close friends that I have known for years, family that I haven't seen in a long time. I want the colors to be black and white so I don't have hear some people complaining that they don't want to wear a certain color!! I'm having my brother giving me a way and doing the " father, daughter dance" since my dad isn't apart of my life now days. I want it by a lake in my hometown and in the evening. And of course I want my fiancee to have some input on the whole thing. I want lilies and orchids for the flowers. My nieces will be the flower girls, and my mans little bro the ring bearer. There's obviously more information thats needed but that can come later but now you guys will have a better understanding of what I want.

I used to want a huge showy wedding, but as i've got older, i've come to realise how important the actual event is for my own life rather than how other people will react to my big day. So i decided that i would far prefer to book a 'mholiday' for a couple of weeks with the intention to get married whilst out there. Many travel oerators now offer elopement packages and can arranhe everything for you. We may take a couple of very close friends as witnesses, but no one else. On our return, we would then hire a big hall and have a fancy dress party so that everyone who wants to congratulate us can turn up and we'll have a big reception party.
