A Major Surprise

For all you who know me, what I have decided for a color scheme for my wedding may be a bit of a shock to you. But after much perusing and deliberation I have decided to go with.....

Tangerine, Hot Pink and Lemon!!!!

I know that is kind of strange for me, but since we have decided to have a summer wedding, bright colors seem to be in order. I LOVE it! I have so many ideas for this color scheme and I think the planning of this is just going to be so much fun! I want to tie all of my things into this color scheme so you will see that I have changed the color format of my blog.

This is going to be a blast!!!!!

Cake Toppers....comical or serious?

So I am having a ton of fun looking at wedding stuff, obviously. Something I looked at a lot today was wedding cake toppers. I know, that is such a small insignificant detail, why would I start looking at it now? However, it is the small insignificant details that I always seem to remember at a wedding, so that is why I am thinking about it. But the question comes down to "Funny or not Funny?" I personally think that your wedding cake topper is one way to insert a little of yourself into an elegant occasion. And if you know me at all, I am kind of leaning towards at least a little funny.



I found one cake topper that made me crack up, but I would never have it on my wedding cake. It would embarrass Jay too much. Might be funny to put on a cake for a bridal shower or something though. It was called "Women in Charge". It just made me laugh because people tease me all the time that I am the one who wears the pants, although it is completely NOT true. It is always good to laugh at yourselves though.





I have also found some really sweet ones that aren't funny that I have liked. The first one is just a sweet dancing couple with rhinestone hearts behind it. Very pretty, very sweet and very elegant. I could definitely see us using something like that...but it's so typical. Not so much us as EVERY other bride. But, a little elegance never hurt anyone.




The next one I saw was a sweet little child couple. It was just so innocent looking. SO SWEET! But again, not really distinctive of us. I may go with it though because it is a nice compromise between typical and different. I have a LOT of time to decide though.







One of my favorite ones that I saw while looking though is the football couple one. It is just reminiscent of Jay's love for football and my new love of the sport. I never knew that I could ever be excited for Sunday to come so I could sit around and watch football with him all day, but it is becoming one of my favorite Sunday traditions. This cake topper just kind of reminds me of that tradition. It is definitely in the running. It also has a BRUNETTE girl. What is it with all these BLONDE cake topper girls? What about us brunettes?


I obviously have quite awhile to come up with awesome cake topper ideas, but it was fun to get a start on it. I really enjoyed looking at all of them and picturing them on my cake. So, what about you? Comical cake topper or serious one? Why did you choose yours?

IT HAPPENED!!!!

After many years of waiting, I am FINALLY getting married!!! My wonderful fiancee proposed to me on December 11, 2009 and I accepted! We are just getting started in the planning, but I wanted to update the blog that my little sister Holly inspired me to write. She had a blog all through the planning of her wedding, and it was exciting to read. You felt like you were a part of everything even though there were miles between you. So, I am going to try it myself. Although I am sure it won't be as eloquently written as a small town bride. It will still be fun to read hopefully. I will be weighing many different ideas for many different things on this blog, so I am hoping people will read and PLEASE give advice. I am the most indecisive person in the world so any little bit helps. THANKS!!
