So It Begins

It's official, my wedding ideas are in full swing. MOH Kate came over last Thursday and we put together my 'inspiration board.'

I want to go with Vermont Romance as our wedding theme. We have decided on our venue; Gabriel's childhood home in Bristol, VT. His parents have a beautiful property, complete with a red barn! Along with the beautiful backdrop, we want the big white tent, white lights and plenty of candles; soft romance will set the mood...at least until the real partying commences!

Our colors will be saturated eggplant and emerald. Both are bold enough to carry the month of September without going with the warmer hues of fall. The accent of gray will make our wedding POP.

Now that the creative juices have really started flowing, the next hurdle will be narrowing down what we will be able to execute given our time line and budget. Starting this week (after the scary budget talk with Mom) I will be making preliminary phone calls to the big vendors. A year in advance isn't too far in the wedding world, and I will need to reserve the rentals!

Wish me luck for this week and feel free to leave ideas!

Love,
Shannon

    Good luck with the budget talk. Colin and I wanted to do a photo booth too, but we need to see what we will have left over and if it will be doable. Good luck! :)
