INSPIRATION

As a wedding planner, people always say to me, “Oh you must have your entire wedding planned down to every last detail”. The truth is – I don’t! I’ve always thought that my wedding should obviously reflect both my tastes and interests, but of course those of my groom’s as well — so how could I possibly envision my wedding day without having his input. That said, there are a few things I know, just being me and my preferences. My favorite color is blue — even my website/logo and brand identity for my business is all blue blue blue. I obviously flip through tons of magazines and scour websites constantly for my brides, but if I had to choose right now, I’d go with blue (of course) for my own wedding.

DETAILS

My favorite flowers are hydrangeas, so you’ll see I chose images with hydrangea. I also LOVE the photo with the appetizers served on a bed of blueberries – what a great idea! I have a huge sweet tooth, so I’m fairly certain no matter who I marry, there will definitely be a big dessert spread – similar to the photo from Martha Stewart Weddings!
