Wedding Website - Makeover

March 13th, 2008 @ 4:57 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

When Mr. Flamingo and I decided that we were officially gonna set the date, I couldn’t help but to design our wedding website. Though, I wasn’t very fond of the idea of doing it from scratch… I opted for a basic template design from Weddingannouncer.com

Everyone in my family had never heard about a wedding website before, so they thought I was the most organized and smartest bride ever.  Hahaha - I found that very funny. (On a side note- our wedsite needs to be perfectly bilingual so with wedding announcer there were certain things that I couldn’t translate.)

Wedding Website - Makeover :  wedding montreal website Wedding0101First attempt - using wedding announcer (click to enlarge)

When my family saw the design of the website they were amazed but I couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. Then I read Miss Lovebug’s post about her blogger wedding website and it was official - I needed to redo our website. When I told Mr. Flamingo about it… he thought I was nuts!

Once I decided on my invitation design, it was easier to design the website to fit the whole theme and style. I used the back of the invitation as the background image and I created vintage looking buttons. But I’m having issues with the header. Since I have various elements in my invitations, I don’t know what I should use.

Please tell me which one you would go with. (Click to enlarge image)

option a: ChandelierWedding Website - Makeover :  wedding montreal website Headersoption b: Street with clockWedding Website - Makeover :  wedding montreal website Headers01 option c: Decorative elementsWedding Website - Makeover :  wedding montreal website Headers02option d: - None of the above. Wedding Website - Makeover :  wedding montreal website Headers03(If you choose this option, please specify what you would do.)

I want to show you all the elements when they are completely done.  I got to get crackin’ on the rest of the content of the website…

I don’t think I could decide between A and B. I really like them both!

The color scheme is very elegant–marriage just needs the extra “r” (but I’m sure you’ve caught that already. ; ) I’d choose the first header.

Option A. I am totally digging the dark background with the light text right now. It is so beautiful and dramatic.

A. The darker background and the design are more striking than the others.

I like A the most - a suggestion, though. So you don’t get a million comments from your english speaking guests thinking you’ve misspelled marriage, you may want to include an article before each.

Something like,
The Wedding - Le Mariage

Basically, just add another French word that’s not so close to an English one to make the bilingual header obvious.

A or B. I like them both a lot, though if the rest of your site is white, then having a brown header like A might work better.
