Looking at all the wedding sites, and loving all the pretty pictures -
I have to ask myself - when I go to my florist and start that
conversation, or when we pick out invitations, or table set-ups - what
is my wedding style? I have NO idea! I think, like a lot of my life,
my style tends to grab bits and pieces of different things. Not to
mention all the unique aspects of our life and our personalities that
I would like to fit in - those need to be prioritized, of course, but
how awesome would a Dodge Charger groomscake be for DVO? (Third photo down and in black -
not Dukes of Hazard...) And does that fit in with the romantic, flowy
dresses? Eh, hodgepodge... that's me! In an effort to figure something out, or at least have something to
say, I decided I needed to write down the words I would use to
describe what ever "style" I want the day to have (and things I don't
want to have). In no particular order:
-Romantic, but not shabby chic
-Not "cookie cutter"
-Rustic - but not too rustic
-Fall - but not screaming Thanksgiving or Halloween
-Rich colors (to compliment the season and the espresso dresses):
greens, browns (not poop); oranges & reds (not too much...); yellows
-Unique
-Musical
-A couple of subtle butterflies (after we got engaged, I had
butterflies float around me on several occasions - I know it was
people like Uncle Chum and Grandma T telling me that they were happy
for us)
-Family & Friend-focused
-Photo-focused
-Subtle cheesiness
-Full of love and warmth
-Cozy
-Eco-friendly (fair trade, organic chocolates for favors)
-Locally-focused (saratoga water, local maple syrup - for the in-room gift bags)
-Fun! Can't forget fun!
-Memorable
-Not girly...
-Harvest-y That's good for now - you see my issue. When I get to it, I'll post
some of my favorite things I've found on the wedding web sites. JLC & DVO's Hodgepodge Wedding 2010... Fun times USA...
