#11 opinions

I need opinions on invitations/save the dates. I love paper things+they're the 1st sneak peek at our wedding+the first thing to go out=this is BIG people. I'm posting some inspiration for everyone. (in the parantheses is what I think the "concept" is...could lead to a theme?). What'd ya think...

love the seals (love letters)

love the lace and the color (vintage vs. modern)

love the material and laser etching (woodsy modern)

love the graphic (architecturally inspired)

love the lace and material (vintage)
(could also be a classy coozy and double as a favor?)

love love love the maps/blueprints (like library vintage...ooo)

love the bold graphic on the natural material (natural vs. graphic/modern)

love the print and layout (traditional with a twist)

nvrm the kissing couple...
love the graphics, layout, and theming (whimsical, graphic, and romantic)

I obviously like vintage...but am not sold that this is completely us (we are so multi-dimensional).

Even if you are not a "devoted" follower...only an occasional stalker...let me know what you think (i.e.-post your comment on my fb page, text me, call me, whatevs!). I'm trying to come up with a theme for the wedding (no football, or LOTR, etc.) that feels "us". So let me know how you perceive "us".

Helpful Hints: I've already posted the church and it looks like Soulard is going to be our reception place (see #4 for photos)...if this helps you

#7 for Staci

So I was implored by my skating buddy (shoutout!) Staci Wood to update my blog! So I'm updating my blog!

Truth be told, I can't believe I even really started a blog considering how much I love to procrastinate (my mom would call this being lazy!). But really it's just that I don't want to put anything out there that is sucky...which this is...so I lament over how sucky my blog looks/I-don't have-the-patience-to-learn-how-to-customize-HTML...I get really anxious about the suckiness...(deep breath)...and I don't do anything with it. This is why I never kept a journal when I was younger, so it seems a little ridiculous for me to try to keep an electronic version of one now!...

But then...I'll probably look back at this next June or so, and think wow...it's over, it flew! And it'll be nice to have a reminder of all of it, with all my non-witty ramblings and such, and think about how amazing everything went. And in the end it'll all be worth it!

But what the hell am I talking about! This shit's too deep...onto the randomness that has been the last week and a half or so (commentary included)!

My fav! Reception for 6...(if only!). That table setting is to die for! And those antique birdcages!





heartbreaking breathtakingly beautiful...someone please donate me your backyard complete with tree-filtered sunlight and flickering lightning bugs...seriously...anyone...


multitudes of inspiration boards...not done by me

please note: I am a designer...I love design
please also note: there are at least 3 different styles shown in these pictures (I'm too lazy to do an exact count...its probably more like 10)
please also also note: I am a designer...don't worry, there will be a 1 cohesive aesthetic
(I just haven't figured out what this is yet!)

probably not the nature ones(sadface)...does this give you a hint about the reception site (i.e.-see post #4)...I'm including the nature ones because maybe one of my friends will take the hint and have their wedding in Colorado/KC and have that rustic kind of wedding which I love, and I can at least go to a wedding like that!...Kirsten???

what else...

Pretty Hair and Make-up

birdcage veils aren't really me, but I like this one better than
the ones with the really open netting!

Mantilla Veil...again I really like but don't think I could pull it off...unless
I suddenly found out I am partially Italian or Hispanic...very romantic though
(P.S.-I don't like veils in general...so I probably won't wear one)

Cat eyes and Red lipstick=LOVE

If I do and up-do...

And headbands! (Dino loves headbands on me!)

Photography shots that I love...



Note: Dear bridal party, I am sorry if you do not like umbrellas/have no use for them. These will be your gifts. Love, Bridezilla
(JK...but seriously, this pic is awesome!)

And I will have to leave other ramblings for another post because I'm an old woman, and it is past my bedtime. Staci, this should get you started till I can post next.

Love, peace out...Megs
