What colours match a chardonnay wedding dress?

Hi I brought a gorgeous chardonnay coloured wedding dress which I love (and surprised me since it's not white). The problem I have now is I originally wanted a dusty blue/ grey for bridesmaids (colour scheme) and sunflower bouquets which I've now been told ( and we noted when at dress shop) won't really match or look very good together. I've been told I should go pink or maroon and I really don't like pinks (or maroon). Is there any other colours you could recommend? Now worried I should change the dress. The style is vintage/ rustic. Any advise greatly appreciated and taken under consideration.

How long should it typically take for a videographer to return the final product?

My sister got married two years ago, and it took almost 6 months for her videographer to return the video of her wedding. I want a videographer at my wedding, but I'm scared it'll take the same amount of time to come back. Is 6 months normal to wait for your wedding video?

Do white tiffany chairs work with a venue with dark blue/navy carpet with yellow/gold swirls?

Our theme is quite neutral with grey, white and greenery as our main colours. I would love to have white tiffany chairs for our reception but the carpet at the venue is navy blue with gold swirls. People have suggested that the white tiffany chairs will make the 'gaudy' carpet 'stand out' - any thoughts? Thanks :)

How do I repair a scorched veil?

My MIL still has her 40+ yr old veil. I would love to wear it for my wedding in October but it was in a house fire about 10 years ago & it's turned yellow in parts. I took it to a bridal restoration shop & they said they can try to restore it but if it's scorched it will stay yellow. It's tulle, it's a perfect length, it goes perfect with my dress & it's something old as well as something borrowed! Please help?! Can tulle be repaired from scorching?

What kind of flowers will be available in the Sunshine Coast, QLD, in June?

I want to know what will be easily available, but still beautiful for a wedding. I quite like peonies and large flowers that flop around like that - nothing too structured like a tulip. Thank-you.

How to style a table centerpiece/room?

Our theme is kinda boho-vintage.. Doilies, wood slabs, beautiful coloured and crystal pieces, brass candelabras and candlesticks, candles, lace/doily bunting, festoon lighting etc... I'm just wondering on how to bring all of these pieces together? Whether to add gold charger plates or if that'd be too much. The tables are oval so its hard to find pintrest inspo on how to style them, do i add a hessian or lace table runner or add greenery to run the length of the table? I want to make it beautiful but not OTT... I wonder how to style the rest of the room too as its quite a simple white room with big windows on 1 side and railway station front vibes on the other side... i was going to add the festoon lighting above the area where the reception will be but i don't know if this will be enough? Sorry for the long question I'm just overwhelmed. Any help would be appreciated. Even if you could recommend an affordable stylist in QLD Ipswich/Brisbane area that may be able to help my vision.
