Married!
Well okay, we're not exactly going to a chapel, we're heading off to a gorgeous garden this spring. My wedding has been on my mind a whole lot lately - of course - so my first post is all about my wedding inspirations:
First off - the RING
Anyone who knows my fiance and I, know that we like to do things a little differently - marriage before a baby - that's just silly. And who made the rule that engagement rings are supposed to be diamonds...boring and overrated, I say - there's so many other gorgeous stones out there...
For example, my vintage 20's deco engagement ring, set with a brown smoky quartz. The detail in the silver is astonishingly gorgeous.
Next - the THEME
Once the engagement became official with that tiny piece of jewelry above, I started thinking about the theme and feel of my wedding and the first image to pop into my head (no lie) was this image of Drew Barrymore below. It says it all. My hair may be much much longer than hers but I plan on having daisies frame my face in some kind of hippie mess. No tight updo for me!
the DRESS
To continue with feel that Drew's picture gave, I found this affordable lovely wedding dress from JCrew.com. Stunningly simple and perfect for a spring garden wedding. Couldn't you just picture daisies in the model's hair?
the FLOWERS
I'm not a fan of bouquets made of just daisies (you can have too much of a good thing), so I was thrilled to find this super awesome bouquet on rebeccathuss.com. Rebecca Thuss does absolutely gorgeous wedding designs and this wildflower bundle is right down my alley.
The green and white striped table runner, the flowers in the rustic wooden planter - it doesn't get any better than this.
the FLOWER GIRL
And of course my biggest inspiration of all, my San Francisco born flower girl, Elise (aka Lisey Lu)
I don't think anyone is more excited about the wedding than her..."We're getting married!"
wow! i love your blog, great post. thanks for sharing! stuart parvin
