It was apparently wishful thinking that I was going to have a new Wedding Wednesday post up before leaving town last week. We went to Colorado through the weekend to celebrate Hunter’s cousin’s wedding and had the best time exploring Steamboat Springs and enjoying cooler weather! We’re now officially the next family wedding on his mom’s side after his sister’s wedding earlier this summer and this most recent one. Having been to quite a few receptions in the past few years it can be hard not to want to think through ways to make yours feel different. I keep having to remind myself that I don’t have to reinvent the wheel but instead add small personal touches that may make an impact on the overall feel both for us and for our guests.
With that in mind, today’s blog post is a look at my design inspiration for our big day! The other weekend when we were at the lake with Hunter’s parents, his dad was the one to point out that we were officially three months from the big day, which was equal parts exciting while also being a bit overwhelming. There is still quite a bit to accomplish, but I feel good about all that we’ve gotten done so far. I’m heading to Fairhope this afternoon for a floral design meeting tomorrow and my first dress fitting on Friday, which are two check marks I’m ready to have next to my ever-growing list. I’m sure my parents will be thrilled to see all that I’ve got down for us to accomplish while I’m in town, haha.
I know I’ve mentioned it in previous posts, but I’m visual to a fault, and seeing different ideas as they would look together is important for me to get a feel of how it will come together. I put together the below design inspiration board to share with our planner and florist to keep us on the same page as we discuss things and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make me excited to enter our reception space after our wedding ceremony. I have a feeling it’ll be better than the pictures, even if only because our friends and family will be there to enjoy it too!
Since I don’t want to give everything away to guests that may be joining us hopefully, this image and no description about each thing gives you enough of an idea without giving the final product away!
