I got to start focusing on some wedding decisions - we at least have a venue we happy with but now there is so much more to do especially if I am going to make decorations or have family help me out. We like to take care of many split voor Prom Dresses of the expenses early on - and I love to have things like my dress and whatever JC decides to wear decided, purchased and safely set aside. As much as a procrastinator as I been all my life I really don like to leave things to the last minute.
So I been doing a little looking around, getting ideas and keeping them in a little wedding folder on my laptop desktop. This morning I thought I might share a couple of these ideas with you.
This dress is from the new Anthropologie wedding line, B H L D N, and in typical Anthro style offers a vintage feel with a modern edge and absolutely rocks (in my opinion). Of course this dress is not inexpensive and in fact is more than I plan to spend. I really like the sheer sleeves, the color, the boatneck, the applique and of course, the shoes pretty much have me swooning. But this bride-to-be will not be dropping $2K on a wedding dress, I rather spend it in Vienna.
LOVE this dress. Love the color. I think JC and I could have a real poppin color combo if he wore a rust red shirt and we kept our color theme to a variety of pale grays, pale blues and the rust red. He isn sold on this color yet and I may have to get the dress so that we can see it live. This is one I just keep coming back to.
Another J. Crew dress I am liking quite a bit for the simplicity and the little sleeves - having a winter wedding makes me think I might like to have a little more to the dress. I could see shortening this and wearing it again. The t-shirt style and the heavy silk that J. Crew uses in their dresses makes this elegant, simple, timeless.
This one isn on sale but is under $1K. still well over what I want to spend. So much so I going to have to file it away as just an idea.
I pulled this image from the internet mostly for the colors and the idea of a skirt and sweater. I could do an ensemble along these lines - toning down the volume of the skirt. This one has potential for pulling together from various sources, maybe even finding something vintage. I am very drawn to the pale, pale blue.
I don remember where I pulled this from either but of course I go for the cowgirl boot and dress / skirt combo. I could splurge for a fancy pair of Lucchese or Old Gringo boots in pale blue and cream. If one could find such a thing.
This is the way I work. gathering images and ideas and letting them merge into the real deal. I like the process and am doing the same with decorating. I set a deadline for making decisions so that we might actually get everything together in time, and then enlist the help of my craftiest friends and family members. The planning is fun so far, but we already two months into our year of planning and I really haven gotten much done. Time to kick it into gear.
