I'm planning a Jack & Jill for my sisters wedding and need to make up some flyers to send out to those people who don't have email/facebook.

Their wedding colours are blue & silver so I was hoping to use a background image that incorporates these colours. I've been scouring the internet to look for suitable word templates and haven't found any yet. I found one that looked alright but didn't stick with the colour theme (it was orange & blue, had a big white star in the middle). So, I thought I'd make my own if I could find a good background image, but I can't find that either.

Do any of you know where I can find good background images or would anyone be willing to help me out and throw together an image I can use in the background?

If any of you would be able to help me out/point me in the right direction that would be absolutely amazing!

Thank you!!!

istockphoto.com is a great resource, and fairly cheap (under $10) for a professional pic.

I had this software called "microsoft picture it premium 10" that was great for using photos from your camera to create cards, flyers, and stuff like that. It also came with the templates for cards and that stuff; some of them already had boarders and backgrounds too. I really like it, I think its worth looking into for your situation.

This would be acceptable in 1995, but these days would you really want someone at your jack and jill party that doesn't have email? Shocked Laughing Laughing

ontrider, I want a tad bit smaller version of that second picture. It blew up on my screen. Although it's funny having to scroll from one breast to the next. Laughing

So the bridesmaids dresses match the flours and decorations? Then you have official wedding coulors?

That is secoundary, I'm trying to add it in discretely like you guys do. If the dresses are red, flowers yellow and purple, and decorations blue.. your wedding colours are red, yellow, purple and blue? I'll keep responding as long as that picture is in this thread too.

oh yes... you're being very discreet!

i don't really know what defines a wedding colour, it seems a bit silly to me. but i've been told their colours are blue & silver and the bridesmaid dresses are blue.
