Ok, so I'm sure there's a blog out there that has Wedding Wednesday- I was kind of just kidding, I don't have any intention of keeping it up regularly... It's all that came to my mind when starting this post :)
{we picked a date P.S...}
Note: Those aren't our Save the Dates- I just like playing around with stuff... speaking of Save the Dates... HOLY COW! How do you choose just one?!?!
I know this will be the hardest part for me because I'm obsessed with different fonts and layouts that I would have the hardest time choosing just one! I'm looking to get someone {ahem, Lori... jk} to hand write all the addresses like this
I've been toying around with the idea of a custom stamp or custom graphic to carry throughout all of the invites but I'm wondering if it's played out? Ordy carves our initials in trees random places we go, so the carved initials in trees actually MEANS something to us- we don't just think it's "cutesy"...
Speaking of, this is just a random babble of wedding thoughts... I spent hours on Pinterest a few weekends ago and am overwhelmed with how played out our wedding ideas are... I mean every wedding now is a barn wedding with burlap and milkglass... It's the trendy thing to do now- whether that's truly your style or not! I'm so sad... I know I should be happy that they serve as inspiration but it bothers me that it's the cool thing to do! I used to talk about rustic barn weddings years ago and people looked at me like I had a third eye! Now it's like, "oh I went to 4 barn weddings this year..." Sheesh.
I want special, intimate, small, unique, thoughtful, SIMPLE. I don't want to spend thousands for a wedding to look low-key like the ones I see on Pinterest... I actually want most of the stuff DIY and authentic vintage stuff.
The other thing is, both "barn" venues we have visited don't truly have authentic barns... they're gazebo like style... and they're both $5,000. I feel like that's steep for a venue that doesn't even have the authentic vibe we're going for! I seriously feel like driving around parts of GA and knocking on someone's door to borrow their barn for a night :)
I have been so stuck now before I choose any wedding colors/bridesmaid dresses etc it's crucial I decide what direction I want my wedding to go- and I've been at a fork in the road for two weeks now. I NEED to decide. Help! Pin cute ideas and @Ordy and Joon me on Pinterest, I need all the help I can get!
I'm starting to think I just want a low key backyard wedding like this:

I feel like that's feasible since I want a small wedding. I don't ever want to spend my wedding meeting new people, I want to spend it celebrating with close friends and family. We've always wanted the following things:
I feel like I'm starting wedding planning from scratch... I know it's not- but I'm just as overwhelmed! I have boxes and boxes {and boxes} of milk glass that I have been saving forever because I know I've always wanted to incorporate it into our wedding... So milk glass is still a huge part of the wedding :)
Anyhow, thanks for letting me ramble... I guess I feel pressure because there are so many ideas on pinterest and other blogs it's like every one is trying to "one-up" everyone else...to be honest, I wish I could just elope! I really stress about wedding details mostly because deep down I know nothing matters, what matters is who I stand up there with... So, I have this internal struggle about not caring about small details and then not wanting to regret not caring years down the road... make sense?!?!?
