wedding planning: must have sites.

What seemed like ages of time to plan our wedding has now shrunk to just a few months. I have nothing but respect for the ladies out there that can hold a full time job, make time for family/friends and still plan an entire wedding solo! I was a bit too optimistic in my ability to get all the details together all on my own. Luckily, throughout the planning process I've found a few sites that have been a saving grace for inspiration:

Lover.ly

100 layer cake

Style Me Pretty

Peter Loves Jane

Love and Lavendar

Green Wedding Shoes

It makes planning oh so much easier if you get a mood board together. That way you can work with vendors to make joint decisions together right away, and it's right in line with your style and taste. Here's a look at what has inspired me for the big day:

(photo cred above.)

{Currently obsesses with birdcage veils, so delicate and pretty.}

{Essential touches of gold}

{simple + lovely.}

{I'm not one for bling, but maybe a little in this case}

{embracing our urban backdrop.}

 {touches of romantic vintage.}

 

{floor length gray for the ladies.}

{understated pretty.}

{ceiling bulb lights, a must.}

{and of course, inspiration for Bentley's attire}

I'm still anticipating a mad dash to pull everything together as September nears, but to keep my sanity, I'm keeping a few things in mind:

1. There will be an open bar. (so, of course, everyone will be happy)
2. Everyone will be nothing but joyous to celebrate with us.
3. My 'maids are adorable and have fantastic taste, so I know they'll help me make it lovely.
4. I get to marry my best friend. How awesome is that?

The count down is on! Happy planning!! Xx
