Oh Happy Day!

Since I only want to get married once in my life, I sometimes find it hard to pare down all the ideas for one day. Planning a wedding is so exciting.  Although now that the wheels are in motion, it has made me say goodbye to all the ideas that could have been.  So much for spring green and violet, creamy whites or buttery yellows.  Goodbye to the barn wedding in the fall.  Adios to the mason jars and bales of hay.  Ta ta to the backyard bash I first envisioned right after we got engaged.

When it comes right down to it, I have to go with what I have always loved.  Springtime, gardens, shades of pink, peonies, a crisp suit and lots of pie.  

While it is hard to say goodbye to all the weddings that may have been, it is even better to say a big HELLO to the wedding that will be.

I totally know how you feel - I just posted about how I sometimes feel like I'm cheating on my wedding by fantasizing about other styles! But the solution is just to throw loads of parties with the alternate themes you love. Problem solved!
