So our original plan was to do a church ceremony and try to do something a little untraditional for the reception. We planed on a cocktail reception and having a lot of fun with the overall day. However as so many of us know, not everything goes as planned. We were in contact with a vendor for the reception but they began to take longer, and longer to respond. There was also the possibility that the prices could go up before our big day and so our estimated cost might not meet reality. After sending multiple emails and not getting quick returns I had finally given up and began pursuing other options.
I found a nice reception hall that works well within my budget and included things that I greatly valued. It's not as untraditional as I desired but it would be a great place to hold our celebration. So with my change in venue design came many other changes. I now had a desire for a day that was elegant and romantic. This is my fairy tail moment and (if your lucky enough to have found true love) it only happens once in a lifetime. I want to remember this day as the happiest of my life and know that I'm starting a life of happiness and love. I want to celebrate that love and share it with everyone.
The other day one of my bridesmaids and I went shopping for her dress. For the past month (or maybe more) I've had trouble deciding on their dresses. A while ago we had purchased a dress for my sister, that fit the previous theme and that I said was acceptable because it was one of the few dresses that fit her that we could make work for the wedding. Anyway knowing that my sister is wearing a short dress, we tried to find a short dress that would look good on the other two bridesmaids that I have. Here in lies my problem. There are dresses that I like, that each look good on a singular bridesmaid and if I wanted to make it all different it could work but I like consistency. I'm not saying that they all have to be matchy-matchy but there needs to be some consistent element. We were planning on making it bows but then Rebecca tried on this long dress that I had been admiring for some time now (it was a favorite of many when I first got engaged) and it looked amazing on her. That dress reinforced the ideas that I have for my wedding. I sent a picture of it to my fiance and he liked it to. So then it was settled, that was the dress for my wedding.
Now since everything doesn't always go as planned there is a little drama and backlash for picking something different and at times I feel like saying "shut up" or "it's my day" but that's so no who I am. At times I have to be told to stand up for what I want but I guess I'm too much of a considerate person. But since this day only happens once in a lifetime, I should make the most of it. It's my opinion that the wedding it more about the two of you, then just one person. Yes I suppose it could be more about the Bride but non of it would be possible without the love shared between you both. We want a celebration of love, with elements of romance and elegance.
