I think it looks pretty mushy already :D

Play around with more flowers. Maybe a flower border, or just a border in the top left section. The background could use a faded full wedding pic, or church, or flowers, etc...

I really like the set up thus far, especially how the boxes resize. Very slick.

I'd use a thin horiz bar for the nav and get rid of the dots. Also your fade with the picture on the left doesn't look right. Fading black to white is a little hardcore. I agree more Flowers!! Light colors, maybe try tucking while you work. I can tell your going to nail it once you handle up on the issues.

ennui,

not sure if I'm looking at the right link, but here's what I looked at:

http://conceptual-designs.net/regency/#

My comments:

It's looking good. I like how the boxes move around as you jump from link to link.

The company name looks a bit grainy here. Is it a .jpg? If so, I think that a .gif would clean it up a lot better.

Secondly, I agree with zaefod that the nav bar is dull. The text has no life to it and does not speak of 'elegance' and 'beauty' to me. :)

I especially liked how you went with a B&W image in the invitations section. I thought that was clever but it might even work better if you make it more 'creamy' colored, like the linen from invitations. Just a thought.

Great start!

Yes, the whole moving/resizing boxes is great -- in theory. But I hope you are going to have a backup for those who have Java Script disabled, and those whose browsers don't support it, because the site will not display if you have Java Script disabled.


Basically, you have a JS dependant page here -- which, as far as I know, is a bad thing.
