In the beginning...

In the beginning...

I've been planning my wedding for about 8 years now, but let me set the record straight; I am not currently engaged. There is no ring or date. Just the right guy. For as long as I can remember I've been thinking about what I want and absolutely do not want for my wedding. The way I see it, when the time is right I will have already made most of the decisions.

Why a blog? In the search for my 'dream' wedding, I have seen quite a few really good ideas that just don't fit into what I now think of as my wedding. Somehow I don't think my family will come to see me get married multiple times just because I have more than one theme or color scheme that I think would look amazing. So I came up with a challenge; what if I were to attempt to plan a different wedding each month, using only things that I like (whether or not I would be able to afford it.) I would include:

• Bridal attire (dress, shoes, hair, makeup)
• Bridesmaids
• Groomsmen
• Location
• Entertainment (including but not limited to a top 3 must play songs list)
• Flowers
• Centerpieces/table decor
• Food
• Favors
• Invitations
• Anything else I can possibly pretend relates to the wedding idea

Lately I have been inspired by:
