I've been reading wedding blogs since before the idea of getting married was implanted in my head. I just like looking at beautiful designs and the way they are executed for a wedding. All these blogs that I read have featured some very gorgeous weddings, but they are all very "hipster" and "shabby-chic." That's not the look I'm trying to go for. I'm not saying that they aren't BEAUTIFUL, but I'm not going for an outdoorsy feel when I'm in a boat. Many of the color palettes are very pastel and we are NOT pastel.
I'm just venting a little bit since it's hard to find that perfect inspiration that I can try to emulate for my special day.

Crunch Time
Our wedding date is coming up FAST! Now that Steven has a little extra time we are working on getting all the details down.
Steven picked out his groomsmen gear at Friar Tux. They are going to look FLY! Since my nephew is going to be the ring bearer in two weddings within a month of each other, his parents are opting to purchase him a suit and we will just supply the bow tie. The men will be wearing ties while my ring bearer will be wearing a bow tie. CUTE!
On Friday we met with a photo booth supplier. I've been researching photo booths since before I was engaged. That is how much I wanted one. Most prices were in the same range and they all offered the same thing. We decided to go with this company because they included the screen that did a slideshow of pictures at no extra cost. I wasn't impressed by the colorful pens they offered, but I can just supply my own!
Also on Friday we met with the hotel that we book rooms with to make sure that we got the transportation. So if you are coming in from out of town you will be able to get the group rate AND get free transportation to and from our wedding venue. How cool is that? You can get super sloshy and not have to worry about driving home!!!
This morning I ordered a part of my bridesmaids gifts. I kind of have this idea in mind and my sister is helping me execute it nicely. Too bad she won't be surprised when I show them their gifts, but maybe I can squeeze in something nice for her...
I think the only thing left are favors and centerpieces. I've been really torn about what I want to do. I know I am having a wedding on a boat, but I don't want to shove that "theme" down everybody's throat. I think I'm going to talk to the florist (which I still haven't booked yet...YIKES) and maybe get some input from them.
I think that's it! I'm doin' some serious work here!!! I've been spending my weekends going through website after website just trying to get ideas and to get inspired, but it's been really tough. Lord, beer me strength!
