I'm sure I'm not the only single gal that thinks about her wedding...from top to bottom, lol. I literally will sit up for hours planning all of the details from start to finish. I sometimes get in this "wedding planning" mood when I'm bored or have watched a cute little romantic film, lol. Anywho, though I can't see my husband's face, I can sometimes picture everything else. I've always been an "off the wall" kind of girl that does & wants things that the average person would not. For instance, I'd rather where cute, quirky, and weird looking "flat shoes" than heels, just because I like to be comfortable at all times. When it comes to my wedding, I want off the wall colors. Not the typical royal blue, white, and silver (no offense) colors, but something bold. I personally like to pair bold, bright colors with a dark color- yellow, pink, lime green with black, etc. (if you paid close attention to my blog, you can tell...lol.) I basically have those I'd love to be apart of my wedding, a small picture of the dress I'd like, the songs I'd like played, how I want my reception to be, and more. When I tell you that your girl has it planned out....LOL! But I also know that God laughs at our plans! So even with the things I desire to have, God has the FINAL say! Through obedience I know he will grant me the desires of my heart though.
At first I thought I wanted a huge, big, enormous wedding....but now I'm leaning more towards a smaller, more intimate and private one. For starters, I don't believe alot of people would even come, lol- some just to be nosey, others to wish us well. But anywho, these are just some visuals of what I desire. I'm pretty sure that things will change by the time I jump the broom with my boo, LOL! Enjoy just a few tidbits of what I'd like & share some of your "EARLY wedding plans" with me! I'd love to hear...lol.

| I would love to have different food stations at my reception for my guests to pick exactly what they'd like to eat! One of the stations I'd like is a Martini Mashed Potato Bar where my lovely guests can pile all of their favorite toppings on one of my favorite foods....MASHED POTATOES! Yummy, lol. |
 |
| I absolutely adore this grey, white, and yellow color scheme. I would probably add pops of red in it though for added color. This is so chic! |
 |
| Purple, lime green, and grey are also pretty colors together! |
 |
| Because I'm heavier up top, I think a more flowy, romantic type dress would look better on me. Even if I was smaller, I still like the look and feel of flowy gowns. This is breathtaking.... |
 |
| This is also very simple and chic! My type of dress hands down. This is so cute to me! Adorned with the right accessories, a high bunned hair style, with either flowers or feathers pinned in my hair SCREAMS...SHENINA! Lol |
 |
| I would love tall centerpieces accompanied by fruit as my table decorations at the reception! |
 |
| I've been eyeing Two Birds bridesmaids dresses for a couple of years now! Though it is a bit pricey, I think I would love to see my girls in this. This dress comes in many colors and lengths & can be wrapped more than 10 different ways and worn numerous times to various events! It is a stretchy, jersey material and would flatter all figures. I would even get myself one, lol! |
You know I love this post. I'm a lover of all things wedding. Planning is definitely in my future. I think a bride should have what she wants on her day. If you want bold, bright colors do it. If you want quirky flat shoes, wear them. I like your ideas so far :-) Feel free to share more whenever you like :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks Aud! I absolutely love to just plan and think about my wedding. Of course whenever my boo comes around things may change just a bit (to incorporate some of his preferences, lol), but it brings me great joy, peace, and comfort knowing that it will all one day come to pass. I really want people to feel the LOVE at my wedding. I've been to so many weddings where the love was not felt nor visible, and low and behold...within a year or two, they ended in divorce. But what GOD has joined together......you know the rest, lol! I plan to do more posts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOMG Nina-Bina!! LOVE IT!! I thought "I" was the only person who does stuff like this!!

Hahahaha!!!! Ketta, you KNOW its already done hun! But yes maam, I often sit up and dream...better yet, I sometimes plan all of the details of my wedding down to the "t"...lol. Now I say all of this now, but when the time comes I'll end up opting for a private destination wedding ceremony, lol. Who knows??? But I thoroughly enjoy planning. My husband won't have to do much of anything but just SHOW UP....lol! Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteI have been planning my wedding since I was a little girl. I have a wedding planned for every season of the year. One of the ideas I have for my future wedding is a swimming pool wedding. I want a glass isle over the pool that is open on each side. Myself and my bridesmaids will be dressed in one piece swimsuits with sarongs tied around our waists. We will have floral anklets. The men will be dressed in linen suits with swimming trunks on underneath. Everyone will be barefoot. After the ceremony and pictures have been done, the reception will of course be a pool party. Just one of the ideas I have floating around in my head.
ReplyDeleteLOLLLLLL!!! Rhonda, I love that idea. See, that's what I'm talking about. Unique & different, *high five*. Girl, I may as well have a tropical colored wedding because I can't decide for the life of me what I REALLY want. I plan bits and pieces of mine every so often in hopes that one day soon the planning will REALLY be a reality, lol! And when that time comes for you, I BETTA' get an invite cause I'm coming in my two-piece hun-tee....hahahaha!!!!!
DeleteLOL!!!! You will most definitely be receiving an invite from me when that time comes. I will have my two piece ready for the reception. I love being different. I don't even want the more common wedding songs at my ceremony(you know the Luther songs and Ribbon in the Sky). I'm thinking more along the lines of Prince's Adore, and this song I heard by Fred Hammond (I can't think of the name of it right now, but it is beautiful).
DeleteAt one point in time I thought about having my wedding at Rust College in the Doxey. The minister, my groom and I would be standing on the balcony that faces the chapel and all our guests would be seated on the lawn below us. I've even thought about having it at the gazebo out on the front lawn in front of the "A" building.
