Inspiration

The other day I read this post over on Black Eiffel and thought, "Well there's an idea!"



Seriously, why is it that the first thing people ask you is, "Have you picked your colors?" I have to admit, I've been guilty of the same offense. It's really not such a bad thing, but Kim has a point....it is "such a surface place to start planning something so special." And so I love her suggestion of picking words that you want to represent your wedding. I think it's so easy to get caught up in the little details....Do my napkins match my table cloths?.....Are my centerpieces too tall?.....Should I get that overpriced track suit with 'bride' monogrammed on my butt?

So it got me thinking......What words would I want to represent my wedding?

Seeing as I will have an insanely big wedding (and when I say big, I mean BIG....like 800+ guests big!), there's no way we're going to be able to make it feel small and intimate, as nice as that would be . So instead, I'm going to see it as a big a** party. I want people to have fun and enjoy themselves. I'd like the atmosphere to feel relaxed and casual, not all formal and stuffy. I hope to include elements that are unique to us, so it's not just "like that other wedding we went to." Mostly, I want it to be about the love that is shared.....between my fiance and I, our families, and our friends.

So, the words I want our wedding to be about?
fun, unique, family, friends, love
