Thoughts of Weddings

I definitely feel like a girl the older I get. Not that I'm saying I haven't been a girl my whole existence. Recently I've been thinking of weddings. I love photographing them, and being apart of them. But most of all I look forward to my wedding. That's when my girly moments take flight. I think over and over of the things I've experienced. What I like, what I dislike. So lately, as I think more about what I'd have at my wedding, I fathom the amazing capabilities people have to put together such beautiful wedding receptions. I become puzzled, and undecided on colors. I love black, silver, and violet, but my sister laura did that, so that is X'ed out. Then I've thought that a black and white wedding with Rose red and Wine Purple would be beautiful. But then someone told me that sounded like a black persons wedding. I'm really not sure how. I was thinking of it nice from a black and white perspective with just the right colors. Plus I'm a sucker for deep red roses. Not that they are my only favorite flowers, I also love Asiatic Lilies, Daisies, and other flowers. So i'm sure I'll find something that I love. Here are a few of my ideas so far for my dream wedding:
My dream dress:

I actually tried this dress on my third year of college with my room mates. It was at a dress shop on mainstreet, near the college :) I've loved it ever since. Only problem was the length, I'll definitely have to add fabric to it.
The Asiatic flower looks like this:

Do they still make that dress? It's been a while. You should check it out. I wish I could see it in person. I think we should duplicate it instead of buying it and having to add things. I'll have to think of people I know that make dresses.
That flower is pretty. They look good with the roses as well. I think you shouldn't care if someone says it sounds like a black wedding, the black white and red and deep purple... sounds like a huge compliment anyway :)Don't let anyone pop your idea bubble. just think, if I let someone's name comment get to me, I wouldn't have a Peter. And isn't Peter the best Peter you've ever met? (your friend Peter included. muahaha.) You should buy a sketchbook or something and start making collage pages, ripping things from magazines, drawing ideas, etc etc etc. Make it your dream wedding book. That way, when it's time for your wedding, it'll be easier to know what you want and not be swayed by others opinions.
