Put yourself in someone elses shoes

Deciding to have an outdoors wedding means you have to do things a little differently from the traditional inside wedding. I have been to a few outdoors weddings, of course each one different in their own unique way and noticed how some weddings have you dressed for the wedding, meaning wearing heels standing on grass or some fit to comfort and chose flats, or wedges. For me, I cant decide if I want to do heels or flats. The wedding will be outside and the ground may be sturdy or may sink through. I don't want my bridesmaids to be uncomfortable to whole time, or have someone ruin a pair of shoes, that is why I will "put myself in their shoes". I have an idea of what I want, so after I speak to the ladies I will up date my blog with the final decision.

Dresses for my Ladies

Since I was a little girl I have always dreamed of that perfect wedding, now that I am planning my wedding I realized there is a lot to do and getting it to perfect may take a lot of work. One area I am very settle with is the bridesmaid dresses, I want my girls to be able to afford what they wear, and be able to wear it again, I would hate to see their dresses not be used again. I have lots of ideas to what I want but finding it is going to take some time. I am going for a simple black dress, knee length or a little higher with a pink silk ribbon around the high waist. I have also thought about doing multi colored, but I think I need to pick out who is in my wedding and how many I am having first. Here is a look at what I am thinking about for dress ideas:

What do you think about my idea for bridesmaid dresses??

Save the date

I know it has been a while now since I have last posted, Sorry about that. TJ and I wanted time to relax and enjoy the engagement with out any planning, talking or arrangement setting. Over the holiday we engaged in lots of wedding talk, not only with each other but also with our families. Since we are going away to get married we thought  having a Wedding in 2012 was perfect timing for everyone to save and take time off. Then the hard part, picking the day, we have thought about this up and down and just never really set anything in stone, and having it in 2012 why should we. Well, since 2011 is just a few days away we thought now would be the perfect time to set that date in stone. We would love to have you all help us celebrate our day on June 9th, 2012 in Minnesota. We will be celebrating our Wedding together with close family and friends in the beautiful state of Minnesota at the State Park. We will have a lot of things to do prior to the wedding along with a reception that follows. For those who would like to join us but cant make the trip we will be having a reception back home, which will take place on June 23, 2012. I will keep you all updated for more details, I am looking forward to the wedding planning!
