Planning a wedding is completely overrated...


Is there a reason why bridal magazines do not publish ideas for weddings a season or two in advance? Because looking at spring color palettes does nothing to help me plan for a fall wedding.

Also, I found a color scheme I absolutely fell in love with back in October. Tragically, one of the shades is no longer “IN”. Six months ago, there were several cute bridesmaid dresses in my perfect color. Now, there are NONE.

And while I am on this topic, I would like to encourage everyone who sells clothing for bridal parties (i.e. JCrew) to keep your dresses and color options available for more than three months. I don’t care if my colors are “so last season”. I’ve always been (at least) a season behind. Why should my wedding be any different?!

I’m going on strike from wedding planning again. Trevor and I totally should have eloped! Vegas and an Elvis impersonator are looking better and better...

Hi Deals! You should check out http://www.mustloveweddings.com, there's lots of idea threads and at least a few fall wedding journals that I know of. I think I've invited you there before and you were all "thank god I'm not planning a wedding." lol

Speaking from experience, you can totally plan a wedding in less than three months. So just don't start planning, and then you won't have to change plans.

Aren't I helpful? :)

When I started planning, the wedding was forever in the future. Now it is starting to loom on the horizon. Wedding planning is crazy making behavior! Bah!

Is your color persimmon? If so I know Alfred Angelo is still using this color. I don't know if it is what you are looking for. But I don't want you to have a break down. I wore one of his dresses in one of the weddings I was in last year.
