A Wedding After My Own Heart...

Does any of this look familiar?


Blue, green & ivory bouquet and blue shoes?

Blue & green Gocco invitations?

That might even be the same the same font as our invitations, too!

Let's Recap, Shall We?

The past few weeks have been rather topsy-turvey in Weddingland.

We've ditched the original venue, are still in discussions about the ceremony location (well, actually not discussions - the decision's up to Tom...), honed in on small details, purchased a Gocco, and began a few DIY projects that will hopefully be featured soon. So, I thought that this would be an opportune time to recap.

When picturing the wedding months ago, I never really pictured the "theme" revolving around an object. I thought it would be dictated by the location, the time, or the season. And to a degree, it still is. But I've found myself making decisions based on a particular picture.

This picture:

(The Knot)

"I love her, and true love lasts a lifetime." (Nicole, name that movie!!)

This bouquet has really come to embody what I want to see from the day. It's elegant, fresh, fun, and just downright pretty.

I also love this. Not necessarily the daisies, but the overall look:

And I've bought these:


(Michaels)

It was a weak moment, I confess. But they match! And they were on clearance!!

And, sigh, this:


(The Danada House)

I've fallen in love with the Danada House. And I'm hoping that this weekend will only solidify that, rather than change it. We'll be meeting with the coordinator on Sunday, and will get to see it setup for a wedding :)

The Bouquet Winner! (And Some Boutonnieres...)

Well, it turned out to be a close race in the end, even though Bouquet 1 was leading 4 to nothing at one point...

...but the winner was Bouquet one, with 4 votes. Bouquet 3 came in second at 2.



To be honest, I voted for 1. But I liked 2 a lot as well. I wasn't really a fan of 3. Tom voted for 3, though. I'll probably go with 1, just because I'm carrying it, not him. I'll let him pick out his boutonniere...maybe. Hahaha.

People don't really associate hydrangeas with boutonnieres, and for good reason. It's a bit of an odd flower, especially because of it's size. But, what do you guys think about these instead of the standard roses?

Last Chance to Vote!

Just a reminder....the bouquet poll ends sometime today, so cast your vote quickly...

It looked like #1 was the winner, but #3 is coming up a close second...maybe it could even overtake it!

Tomorrow I'll reveal which one I voted for and which one T for voted for...(and yes, he actually reads this, too, haha).
