Sorry Jules...I didn't post any decor or bride pics!! What was I thinking??!?!?
I am covertly typing this as I sit at my new "desk" so I can't add any more pics right now. Depending on how tired I am tonight, and how long the dishes take me to do, I might be able to post some more. I want to get them up on Flickr so Mom & Amy can see the pics I took of the decorations (for ideas).
Had "fun" at the Bridal Expo on Sunday. The "industry" has changed so much since I got married...it's still overwhelming just in a little crazier way! I can't even imagine how much money you can spend just on table decorations! Why would you rent a vase for $15 when you can just go to the $1 store and buy one for a dollar?? Amy is very excited about my dress and about the decorating, but not so much about her dress! She is an odd duck! That's usually the first thing that a bride wants to buy! But I share her excitement about my dress (and the decor, but especially my dress!) so I don't mind one bit. So I have made up some mock centrepieces and taken photos of them for her approval...I haven't sent her those photos yet but that's neither here nor there!
I have been thinking about my own wedding a lot lately, given all the other wedding talk going on. And I am left with one conclusion: I loved my wedding when it happened 5 years ago, but I know that if I were to get married again tomorrow, it would look totally different...or would it? There are so many more options for stuff out there now - bridesmaid dresses, flowers, decorations, etc. - but I do remember that a lot of the choices I made 5 years ago were because I didn't want to spend all the money in the world to celebrate one day in my life. I might change some things (like what my bridesmaid's wore, and the centrepieces for my tables), but I also know that like many things, my wedding looks different in hindsight. I had a good time, I had no regrets right after (except my stupid DJ, which I would TOTALLY CHANGE had I known then what I know now), and I think everyone there had a good time as well. And that's all that matters...as far as I'm concerned!
All through N's wedding I was like meh to a lot of the tradional things (speeches, cake, 1st dance) so Jayme and I came to the conclusion I don't want a "real" wedding. Too much work and money and I was never a girl to have my wedding all planned since I was 7 so I woulnd't know where to start. Vegas here I come! Too bad Star Trek closed. That wouldn't have been cool :P
ReplyDeleteChange a thing?? Ummmm nope. Oh wait the freezer burnt tulips. I saw some pics on Nadine's blog, but I know you took good ones that I need to see.
