wedding fact #1.

Things people don't tell you about weddings.  

Fact #1 - Writing your own wedding ceremony is incredibly difficult.  I now understand why people get married in churches and temples, someone else writes the whole thing for you.  This is why I am doing everything in my power to avoid writing them. (This is why I am currently watching the Newsroom and admiring pictures of kitchens.)

This. Kitchen. Is. Epic.  
(My knees have gone weak.  Love a good pendant light and gold.  Lots of gold with wood.)

i'm swooning.

Sometimes you see a picture that is EXACTLY what you have been thinking of and you begin to wonder whether someone crawled into your mind and took a picture of the thoughts inside your head.  

This is everything I want my wedding to be.  EVERYTHING.  I am swooning so hard it hurts.

a big day (thoughts in pictures).

Tonight Tyler and I met with our florist, coordinator, professional personal I require to reign in my 5,712 ideas, and for the first time since getting engaged, I actually feel excited about this extravagant party we are having.  (It's nice to finally feel that way.  It also doesn't hurt that we have now reached the point where I get to tackle fun things like florals and decor and cake!)

The images I've stored on Pinterest for what feels like months now can finally be shared because I can finally think about such things and that is awesome.  I feel a little giddy.  That feeling will last up until I realize how much my ideas cost and then I will feel sad again (weddings are a vicious cycle).  Until then I will live in a fantasy land bubble that is filled the olive branches, gold flatware, and fushia pink ranunculus.)

where in the u.s.a.?

Tyler and I are currently discussing honeymoon destinations/ideas which is proving to be almost as difficult as choosing the menu for the wedding (which let's be honest, is still not finalized).

If you have any thoughts on domestic destinations, please share.  I have looked at everywhere from Napa to New Orleans and just about everything in between.  

(This fireplace is what I want to say my vows in front of. Swooning so hard.)

flowers.

Between the onslaught of spring, wedding planning, and our impending trip to Mexico, I've got bold colorful flowers on the brain.

black beauty.

This is everything.   Black, pink, gold, and green.  Romantic yet chic.  

Obsessed is an understatement.
