Answer
To me blue, yellow and whites are a fav. and a beautiful combo. Go to these sites and have a look, on http://www.teleflora.com look under blue flowers for blue iris, light blue hydrangea, blue anemone and of course blue delphinium. Also, look at one of my favs. Beautiful in Blue, try to imagine it with a few small yellow roses and also under blue look at Everything's Beachy. And under yellow flowers look at Basket of Memories and Spring Waltz, while these two have lavender flowers, try to picture them with blue flowers instead of the lavender. My all time fav for these colors and I think it is in several categories is Meet Me In Provence---gorgeous and just what you need, you can click on any bouquet and description will tell you all flowers used and you can get an up close view of them. Look under all categories, like love and romance, best sellers, etc.
Out of the new Pantone wedding colors, found under http://www.dessy.com top ten wedding colors, there is a blue, called regatta, beautiful and Blue Curaco. Also, go to this same site and there is a color palette, I guess you would call it and you can click on any color, get name of color and there is a large swatch which shows a larger view of the color you clicked on---my favs. under blue were the periwinkle and cornflower and the yellow picks were snapdragon (a mild yellow) and daisy a more sun bright yellow.
Another good site is http://www.fromyouflowers.com
My fav. bouquets are while lillies (so feminine) yellow roses and the blue delphinium.
You can also google blue and yellow wedding flowers.
Shoes will not matter if gowns are long and I am assuming BM gowns are blue, this is the one I would pick. I love yellow, but, to me a yellow dress is a lots of yellow.
There are many yellow flowers, from roses,ranunculus (which looks like a small open rose) lillies,yellow calla lillies(gorgeous), dahlias,tulips, white orchids with yellow center, spray orchids, daisies, mums and carnations and mini carnations. And the blue hydrangea is a fav, especially for summer weddings. HOWEVER, the most important thing is to pick a good florist and talk with her about flowers that will be in season or that she can order for that time of year.
Jewelry---depends on formality of wedding. Pearls with blue are always regal, romantic whether a small strand or a single pearl. Google wedding jewelry. Also cz's a single tear drop is pretty with cz stud earrings. I personally do not like necklaces, to me they take away from the neckline of the dress. I like the larger pearls and sometimes you can find them with a tiny diamond/cz at the top for just that dot of elegance. I can picture this in my mind, but I am seeing tea length gowns and as such, shoes, shoes----dye, acrylic??? or a simple small heel slip on with top a nude/neutral color. I like the acrylic slip on heels with a bow or something on them and you can also buy earrings and attach to the strap/top piece of shoe, hot glue earrings in your colors in a bow or i like a cz mixed with blue stones. Very easy to do. And the shoes look like they came that way, just use lots of glue, but not too much, you don't want it to glob out the sides. If a simple wedding, I have seen like a wedge type sandal with ribbons that tie around the ankles, which could be blue, you could remove ribbons and dye or pick ribbon you want and take to a good shoe shop and have them attach to back of shoe, then wind ribbon as tall as you want around ankle. I like only one wind around the ankle and then tie in a bow.
One thing I would like to add in, and you did not ask this, but I have found that if you have your wedding on anyone's birthday, anniversary, holiday or the date of your Mothers death, later in life this overshadows your wedding day/anniversary. She will be in your thoughts anyway and this is a very emotional day, so just from someone else who has lost their Mother, kindly said, re-think this date. We were married on my father's birthday and in October lost him to Alzheimer's. Just a thought for you to consider.
Also, for help, google wedding checklists and get about three and then make a master checklist and you can add/delete as your budget allows.

I also like to suggest google a name/adress change kit that comes with all the forms you need for the state you live in.

Where to should we elope to for super cheap?
okeydokeyj
My fiance and I have been engaged for two years, we have a baby girl and are spending most if not all of our money on bills & our daughter....
We do not have the luxury of having anyone else pay or even helping out with the wedding costs. I already have my gown and we already have our rings.
We have decided that we are gonna elope and just have a small special intimate wedding between the two of us. We live less than an hour outside of new orleans and assume that is where we will wind up, but does anyone have any other places in mind we could go for super cheap, like under $800.00???
Answer
There are tons of beautiful places in St.Francisville, LA (about 2 hours north of New Orleans). There are SO MANY Antebellum homes in the area with bed and breakfasts and a wonderful Justice of the Peace for the area. One B&B that comes to mind immediately is Butler Greenwood Plantation.
://www.butlergreenwood.com/
They have little private cabins throughout the property that you can rent (they even have kitchens for around $135/nt) and then you could even have the ceremony performed out underneath the old, gigantic Live Oak Trees. I would check with management to make sur this is ok, but I can't see why not, especially if there are no guests and it wouldn't bother other guests! (A friend of mine stayed there for two nights for their Honeymoon and loved it!)
Ther is also The Bluff's Golf and Country Club, they have a lodge and a large clubhouse with resturaunt! VERY NICE also!
http://www.thebluffs.com/
Another idea in the area: There is a beautiful park in downtown, surrounded by Live Oak trees and has a gazeebo in the center, it is free to use, and many people have gotten married there before! If the B&B is more than you want to spend there is a Best Western Hotel on the Lake (not sure of their rates). There are tons of wonderful resturaunts in the area, of all price ranges.
check out http://www.stfrancisville.us/
If you want information on the name and contact information for the Justice of the Peace, email me! I live locally and would love to help you in any way!
I know local florists, and info on some good priced photography!
You could also try Natchez, MS, very similar to St.Francisville! Or places in Lafayette, LA. I do know quite a bit about these areas also!
Good luck and congrats!
