A Twilight Wedding

During an extremely entertaining conversation with several of my bridesmaids, we discussed the possible themes of my wedding. I said how I wanted a twilight theme, and someone who shall remain nameless interjected, "And we can all wear body glitter!" Well, I meant a mixture of rich purples and blues with some pale yellows and oranges, maybe even salmon, but this version is way funnier.

Anyhow, in the event that I do have a body glitter and twi-hard themed wedding, I will be using this spread as inspiration. I am honestly appalled that someone probably spent thousands of dollars on something SO heinous. Who would have a black and red and rustic themed wedding? Check out page 234.

I actually have updates!

We visited several venues last weekend, and we're visiting more this weekend! Among the venues we visited were an art museum and a mansion, but we still have much searching to do to find the perfect place! Choosing a venue also means choosing food and in some cases, even a cake baker, so there is lots of research and tasting that must be completed! We like the mansions we've visited, and we also like the more modern spaces such as restaurants. The search continues!

We chose a photographer for the engagement photos, and we are having those taken next month! A HUGE thank-you to Ellie Richmond for helping us with photographs!

I finished Secret Project numero uno, and almost all of my creations are distributed! :) I have bridesmaids!! I also constructed a wedding website, but it's still pretty useless seeing as how we have no venue, and no details to share about our wedding date. But, it is more snazzy than the blog so that's exciting!

I also finished some less exciting projects that involve hours of Microsoft Excel. That's right, I collected addresses and made a fancy little spreadsheet, and Evan helped program the cells to add how many people we are planning to invite so far. Wowzers!! That's 200+ people!! We have to be careful when we're talking about how many people are coming, and always say "best case scenario of 200 people" instead of "worst case scenario"...

I will update everyone once we know more about the venue!!
