St. Cloud Wedding Expo Proposed Website

St. Cloud Wedding Expo
Originally uploaded by lynndro

Follow up from the logo, this site is designed to allow vendors, brides, friends and family of the couples, and wedding planners with the resources to provide and receive goods and services associated with weddings.

My concern with this design lies primarily in the choice of colors. I feel that not everyone would see green and pink as wedding colors, but then again, some brides choose purple! :-) The main goal is to provide information for the event. Where, when, who, how to sign-up, etc. The main buttons or calls to action should help direct site visitors to the proper place on the website.

So my question for you is would this site appeal to you? As either a person who has had a wedding, been involved in planning a wedding, or just likes weddings in general?

THX in advance for your help! :-)

Logo Feedback Needed, plz :-)

Goal: Design a logo to represent a wedding expo in the Saint Cloud, MN region.

Audiences: Primary audiences are wedding product and service vendors. Secondary audience includes brides, wedding planners, friends and families of brides, etc.

Thoughts? I'm wrestling with whether or not the audience region will be content with just the SC (St. Cloud) reference or if the state name should be included. I could tell you what I'm leaning toward, but that might make you biased! :-) Also looking for other feedback regarding the idea, colors, typeface, etc.

Thanks!

I made some edits to the original post. Hopefully I can get some feedback from my ENORMOUS group of followers... giggle, giggle, laugh, laugh.

Overall the colors shifted slightly and more elements were added. Texture and a gradient overlay were also placed on the road. If you've got some feedback, I'd love to hear it! Thanks in advance!

Just testing out a new design, hoping to get some thoughts...

The goal of this site will be to sell that trike that is in the top-right for charity purposes. Half of the proceeds will go toward buying a child a bike.

The audience for this site will be individuals within the biking community. The plan is still in the works but currently consists of having tables set up at bike races within the Keweenaw this summer to launch the program. Folks will be able to choose a trike (copper, aluminum, anodized colors) and purchase it from the site or in person.

I'm looking for a general design critique. Do the colors/look engage you? Right now there is no content, are you interested?
