Oh, wedding stuff.

So occasionally I actually blog and write about what is going on in my life mostly for my own record keeping because my handwriting looks so much better on screen than it does on paper.

First thing, I always pledged to myself I wouldn't be that girl that brings up her wedding or fiance anytime possible in conversations. I'm usually pretty bored with girls and their "wedding ideas" but my ideas ARE SO WONDERFUL I can't help but to share them with the world or anyone who would possible listen. So essentially I'm totally that girl, or letting myself slowly become her anyhow.

Turns out after you've been engaged for almost a month and set a date that all of a sudden you have a wedding to plan, no matter how simple the ceremony or open houses are going to be.

I guess here are the basics, Our date Dec 21 in San Diego CA

Our colors are going to be:

Deep red, cream and a light gold.
























I won't be having a bouquet of flowers but a bouquet of brooches. I know that sounds a bit weird but hey, it's me!

It will look something similar to this...
Most of the brooches I've collected so far are gold, silver and red hues, most are coming from ebay but I did find a good deal at the Old Mill today on some glass leaves that will look pretty woven into it. I always knew I'd make my own bouquet I just never thought it would be out of brooches! I just loved the idea though.


As for the dress? I'm having one made by a friend just a simple design of a party dress circa 1950-ish and I will be married in a new temple dress. I just don't really like wedding dresses to begin with, white is not my best color I will always find a way to get it dirty.

We still need to get some pictures done, save the date's sent out (yeesh) and started on our invites in about a month or so. Not to mention a bazillion other things I'm probably forgetting, we did register though! At bed bath and beyond and Target, that was fun and we didn't even bicker much on style choices! The best part of this whole deal though is I get to marry my best friend and finally get a little action graduate to the next level of life.. marriage, home and family.

  1. Your comment about it being complex no matter how simple the ceremony...yeah...tell me about it!

    And won't it be dangerous to be throwing that kind of bouquet around? I mean, that could be dangerous if it lands on someone's head, you know.

    And as for getting action...well, I don't really want to think about that considering who you're marrying. But...congrats?

  4. That IS a fun idea for a bouquet. I am showrooms ex irrational for you!

    Wow, that auto correct my phone just did was too ridiculous not to leave for you to laugh at. And I am not sure if it is dirty. You be the judge ha ha! So it should say ... I am super excited for you!

  5. Yeah, I'm with Scott - you could knock somebody OUT with that thing! Are you going to have a second one to throw out or just not do that whole deal?

    Regarding the 50's style party dress - you'll look DAH-LING, dah-ling!
