Randomness

Long time no post!  That's my problem, I start things then take a while to finish them, or keep up with them.  LoL


So, I'm going to post some random pictures. :c)

Date, Themes, Location...Oh my!

We meet again!  I've named this blog what I have because most people (fiance and some friends) tease with me about how indecisive I am and how making decisions during planning the wedding will be interesting. LoL :c)  Which is so true, there's so much planning to do for a wedding!  I've definitely had bride brain.  So many options!

Choosing a Date:  When I tell people about the engagement the first question is usually asking when the wedding will be.  Therefore, this was the first planning hurdle to decide.  At least I was pretty quick to narrow down when I'd like to have it- sometime next year.  After some thinking I was trying to decide between having it in June or October.  I know, different ends of the spectrum. I think that's why I'm so indecisive at times, I have specific reasons for each choice!  I ended up doing a chart with the pros and cons of each decision.  

• June: Sentimental (month we met and will be 5 years in 2012 and month he proposed), before my 30th birthday in August, less time to wait
• October: Favorite season (fall) with cooler weather, my birthday is august his is september so it would lead to October.. LoL.  Yes, I'm a nerd!  I think it would be kewl to be married on 10-11-12 but it's during the week, and Iwant a weekend wedding.

I kept going back and forth with it, and would talk about it.  Tony finally just said one night just to let him know when I made up my mind because he doesn't care either way.  So I was like June!  The date we're planning is June 2nd, 2012.  (NERD ALERT: 6-2-12 ... 6 x 2 = 12 hehe)

Theme/Color:  At first I had two color schemes in mind, but was leaning more towards one.  The theme was a Tuscan Vineyard theme- purple and green.  The purple for the grapes and the green for the vines.   That theme would fit more for an October wedding with deep colors.  So then I was thinking could do a vintage vineyard wedding with lighter colors for a June wedding.  Then while browsing some friends found this flower:

It's so gorgeous!  I love it!  And it was like the other color scheme I was thinking of because purple is my favorite color and blue is his.  Besides, I'm not a big fan of tooo much green and I think I would have gotten tired of it by the time of the wedding even though I love the vineyard theme.  I think I've got two of the major decisions down, now to choose a location. . .
