Planning a Wedding

So, I've been gone for a while. But, I'm back! And with lots of new, fun posts so share with you guys! So, let's get started!

So, have you ever thought about planning your wedding? I know I have! Although it is extremely fun, it can probably be very demanding...especially when you have a deadline. Something that I've really enjoyed doing lately, is going on Pinterest and just looking up 'wedding'. That one word turned up so many different ideas, that I could have sat and looked through it all until I actually do get married! So I go through all these pins, and I put together a dress, outfits for the bridesmaids, a cake, food, decorations, flowers and colors, into a wedding that I would love! And there are SO many different styles of dresses, cakes, flowers and so many colors! And then you can have a traditional church wedding, outdoor wedding, ranch wedding, (the awesome in my opinion) beach wedding! And then do you want modern, vintage, classy, girly, lacey, rustic?!? So many options! So here are some of my favorite wedding pins. (in case you didn't guess,i want a rustic, vintage outdoor wedding:)

Bridesmaid & Flower Girl Dresses
I love this! If you have a smaller party with an even number, why not have both wedding colors represented?
I love this dress style, not too long, not too short, and I love the lace detailing on the bodice! I also love the colors.
And for the flower girl (or girls) I love these simple styles:

little girls like to dress up as dancers could make the wedding that much more comfortable and fun for them. #weddings #ideas #TheMarkOlympia

Wedding Gown
I love really simple wedding gowns. I love all the vintage ones that they have and I love lace details.I really can't decide what I like better, long with a train or shorter, but not too short.

If I did choose short, it would probably be this style

Color

If you’re planning a Spring wedding, Pantone Hemlock might be your perfect color. Pair this fresh mint green with pale pink and gold.
This is probably my favorite                                             And I love the coral and light mint

I love this! If you have a smaller party with an even number, why not have both wedding colors represented?
love these colors- mix of blues and greens for bridesmaid dresses (let them choose their own)?



Decorations
Here's an idea you can use for an out-of-the-world outdoor wedding: transparent tents, with lights and silver / gold streamers! #indian

Flowers
I think I just want big bouquets of hydrangeas. They are so gorgeous and come in lots of colors; white, ivory, light green, light and dark blue, purple, pink!

Gramma and Grampa's garden always had beautiful hydrangeas.

blues... for Hydrangeas... these make beautiful arrangements fresh or dried!My wedding flower - These will be planted in our garden this spring. 
Endless Summer Hydrangea macrophylla is one of the most famous rebloomers. Introduced in 2004, it allowed gardeners in Northern climates to be able enjoy hydrangeas in their gardens. It features big mophead clusters of blue or pink flowers and grows 5 feet tall and wide. Zones 4-9



Beautiful Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea that blooms from June to first frost!




Cake
I think I would want a plain and simple vanilla cake with maybe coconut buttercream..yum!
For style, maybe something like this:
