wedding update 1

So yeah, we are getting married in like, OH, I don't know - like 5 1/2 months.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like we haven't done a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g but let's just say that last Friday we actually scheduled time on Sunday to "think" about the wedding.

Here is a list of things we have done -

Found a venue - online. We haven't actually seen it in person. Picked a caterer. The first caterer we found. Have two meetings scheduled next week - one for a photographer (that I am almost 99% positive we will go with - she is the only photographer we have contacted) and a flower consultation with the owner of the flower farm. We were told to have our "color" picked out before this meeting but this is proving to be very difficult. We are much better procrastinators and our thought is that the color will pick us.

Cross your fingers.

There are many decisions to be made (like finalizing the guest list, designing the save the date cards, renting the tents, chairs, tables, dishes, sound system, wedding cake, music, invitations, oh my) and we are trying to take it all in stride. Enjoy the process, you know? These updates make my Mom happy so I will continue them in the coming months.

Any thoughts on colors?

p.s. I also have a dress!

I think instead of color, you should see what flowers will be available from the flower farm that time of year and what type of flower you like the best. After all, a white lily will go with any color.

Think about those standing up with you. What colors really enhance their own natural beauty? Will you be wearing white? If you are, then I suggest considering style and colors that suit each attendant as an individual and using their colors in your bouquet. If not, then maybe you wear a color and have the attendants wear white with accents that match the color you will be wearing.

It is really fun to let those details be the most simple, I think. Our wedding's biggest expense was the food, followed by the flowers. Two of my favorite parts aspects of any celebration.
