Ok I am finally getting around to doing this. It didn't take too long after saying yes that my crazy, obsessive, detail-oriented planner inside me went to work. Give me a theme, and I can make it happen. I'm such a visionary...ok seriously though. Ryan for some crazy reason is obsessed with the show Vegas and he suggested we just go to Vegas and get married, it was on the way to the Grand Canyon lol! But when I thought about it, we needed something fun, something that universally says WOOHOO! Let's face it, I'm not much of a princess. I don't like pastels, tea sets, and I the only thing I care about that's cute is my dog. So I got a move on it and away we go!
I already posted my dress : I think it's very me.
Based on what I've seen from the internet, it could very well cost us $1,000. But, I have a $800 wedding dress in my closet I could sell. I'll most likely try to search for a used one.
Ryan's going to wear a suit based on the zoot suit style, and I say this very loosely:
I don't like tuxedos.
And the cake, we want a fun cake! He picked out the cake topper.
I want centerpieces like this but different flowers and colors:
White orchid corsages and boutonnieres for parents, I found these for about $10 total.
I like these for bridesmaid bouquets, really simple, same flowers as mine:
And then I haven't decided on mine:
I want my hair like this, glossy, highlighted, multi-tonal but not the roots and scary makeup:
And very simple makeup, think Scarlett Johannson. Red/Coral lips, neutral eyes, matte foundation, and strong brows:
And these cute place card holders:
I think a black aisle runner would be sweet!
Our seating music should be Champagne Supernova by Oasis performed by the Vitamin String Quartet, google it, and then my "entrance" song I know the real word I just forgot, Running by No Doubt, and then our first dance is Wonderwall by Oasis cuz that's our jam! Lol. But I'm thinking when we enter the reception area and/or leaving the reception should be VIVA LAS VEGAS! Lol. Oh yeah, we're honeymooning there, and staying at the ... idk it's the one the Vegas show is filmed. The M...something I think haha.
Saadia finally agreed to be a bridesmaid for me, so I'm excited.
We want Ryan's sister to come and for his niece and nephew to be in our wedding as ring boy and flower girl, Mallory will be two by then. So we'll have two ring boys and 2 flower girls. I have no idea who Ryan wants to be his groomsmen but I know at the same time. That's all I got for now.
