Well, we have hit the less-than-11-months point. While we are getting more & more excited about it, things are continuously getting busier! I posted a picture of the September calendar in the wedding planning planner above, & while it doesn't show how much we have going on in the other realms of our lives, there is a lot of it! School, work & church are the other biggest priorities & are what is keeping us so busy aside from wedding planning. The main wedding-related thing we have going on for a while is hopefully a meeting with a potential photographer, Melissa Hume Photography this weekend. We love her work & are excited about possibly having her capture all of our wedding memories! Will post about that meeting when it happens :)
(Shout out to Mandie for telling us about her!)
If anyone gets bored or just wants to look at another great photographer, check out Ashah Photography & look through her portfolio & blog. She's amazing too & is the preferred photographer of The Cotton Warehouse but is just a bit too far out of our price range. Plus she's incredibly open about her faith & how much she loves Jesus, which is awesome!
Even though we are pretty far along in the process, I happened to change my mind about one teeny tiny little thing. Don't worry, it isn't the date or something huge like that. But it is pretty major. One of my best friends, Kera admitted to me that she had envisioned some of the same colors for her wedding somewhere down the road. Not that I'm opposed to having the same colors as someone else, but it got me to thinking about what other colors could look good with Oasis Blue (which is a definite for sure no matter what color) & I came across red. Not orangey gross red but like a deep cherry glossy red. I got so excited about it & inspired by this color. There are a lot of possibilities with Apple Green, but it really just doesn't seem like me & I never had a specific vision in mind with this color.
I came across this picture on Google Images & it just encompasses all that I want our wedding to be. Simple, classy & artsy...something that really lets our personalities come out. Blue for him and red for me...I'm just not really a plain apple greenish kind of person, so I'm much happier with red. I want everything to come alive with color, & apple green just wasn't doing that for me. When I started picturing red in our wedding, it was like my world lit up. I had specific ideas about everything I wanted & all of the little details just fell into place in my mind. I couldn't be more excited about what may seem like such a small change in detail to some.
Not everyone has been thrilled with this change, but that has just reminded that me that this is our wedding & no one else's. It's supposed to reflect Anthony & I, so I'm having to learn that not everyone's opinion actually matters at all. We want to share our special day with everyone, but would like for people to remain positive & not complain & keep any negative comments to themselves :) I have been surprised by how many people aren't afraid to express differences of opinion (about color, time of day, time of year, food we should have, photographs that should be taken, etc.)! But I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing because as long as he & I are happy with it, that's pretty much all that matters! We still love y'all anyway!
Sidenote: my cousin Nicole got me to join Pinterest so she can share cute wedding & art ideas with me...I'm super pumped about it but a little worried about how much more it will distract from my schoolwork ;) in fact, I'm in Jittery Joe's pretending to be doing homework & writing this blog as we speak! So on that note, more to come soon!
