Finding a venue, and thereby securing a date, proved to be more of a challenge than I had originally thought, but we finally found the perfect place that fit our budget. More than that, we found a location that provides the perfect atmosphere for what I've invisioned on our special day. The venue we've chosen is beautiful! Overlooking a small lake near my hometown, and options for inside dining & outside dancing, it is the perfect balance of simplicity and charm.
I've chosen yellow & gray as my color scheme. [is it obvious?!] I had thought about so many different combinations, but in the end I knew I would regret not having yellow in my wedding for the simple, albeit juvenile, reason that it is my absolute favorite color in the whole entire world! As for choosing the color gray, let me just observe that whoever said "gray is the new black" seriously knew what they were talking about! It is perfect! I wanted something clean & classy, but not as heavy and formal as black. Once I saw this combo of cheerful yellow & simple gray; it was love at first sight!
A weight has definitely been lifted off my shoulders today now that we officially have a date & venue. And I know this blog may seem a bit contradictory after my "the-wedding-holds-no-importance-its-all-about-the-marriage" post...BUT, what do you expect? I'm a girl! Its practically embedded in my DNA to think about things like this! I am definitely being intentional about preparing my heart for the challenges of a new marriage, but in doing that, I would hate to become numb to all the simple, girly enjoyment that this process has to offer! Now excuse me while I let out a shriek of excitement and practice writing Mrs. Walker Brown all over my notes. :)
