Wedding ideas

Mar 29, 2009 23:19

So I've been working on wedding ideas. I'm working on a tight budget (who isn't these days?) and I put together a few ideas for John, so he could decide what he does and doesn't want to go with. Thought I'd get a few other opinions while I'm at it, if anybody is interested. PICTURE HEAVY UNDER THE CUT!

Heya! You've got some great ideas here! My personal experience with weddings is fairly recent (last October), so I'll give you some thoughts, tips, and comments about what you've got here ( ... )

Thank you!

Linens can get expensive, that is my only caution

Don't I know it. :-/ A lot of it will depend on where I choose for my location, but I've heard in the long run, for a smaller wedding things like plates and napkins are cheaper to buy than rent. Plus, then you have the plates and napkins. This might be one of the first things I cut for cost though. Because really, who remembers the color of the plates at the last wedding they went to? I do like those clear red plates though. Might see what IKEA has to offer. :)

Idea: If you're still having trouble with your dress, you and John could try to emulate a favorite movie couple

I've been working really hard designing my own dress, but after working a lot of this out with John and my mom, I don't know how much it will match anymore. We'll see.

Caution!! Matching colors can be tricky (red of ( ... )

I also dig the super 8 idea, but forgot to mention it. It would work great with your theme, but could end up being a scheduling headache (obtaining, filming, etc).

Time to set up, prep, etc for these ideas should be taken into consideration. Amy and I had a couple things we had to throw by the wayside when we ran out of time.

Above all, remember to have fun! :)

Yeah, this could be another one of those things that work great in theory... but it's so cute! :-P

Yay, wedding! thecoddesslives March 30 2009, 05:31:29 UTC

I think you have the makings of a beautiful, classic, and memorable wedding here. I LOVE the color choices, the theme, the floating candles, the save the date tickets, and the bridesmaid/groomsmen ideas. I also like the Polaroid album, though if you're planning on a small wedding, it might detract from the celebration to have guests gathered in a corner taking silly photos... or maybe that's just because my friends are dangerous with cameras. I'm also a fan of the cupcake tower.

You are not obligated to have an open bar. Wine and beer should be sufficient, especially for a smaller guest list. In the meantime, have you tried vanilla vodka with Dr. Pepper? Very sweet and fizzy -- might be a good compromise.

To me that is at least better than people sitting at their tables being bored. I'm so worried people are going to be bored at my wedding. I'm always bored at weddings. :-P

And I'm not a huge fan of vodka. John loves mixing flavored vodkas with various sodas but me? Meh... I'm thinking something mimosa-y. That way we have both fizzy and fruity. It'd be nice if it were red, but I'm going to have a hell of a time with that (so many ( ... )
