I've been having some impure thoughts lately, I admit it. Thoughts like "what if we did the reception somewhere else altogether?" and "what if I want a dress that's less of a DRESS dress". I think at this point in the process, right before I actually have to commit to more of the details at a year out, it's probably normal for me to have these thoughts. And luckily, not so much has been committed that some of the (new?) ideas I have can't actually come true.
The truth is, I feel like I went off of my own "brief". My own set of words that I said to myself about what represents us and the kind of wedding we want to have. Fun. Inclusive. Creative. But it kind of only really comes down to REALLY. REALLY. FUN.
While I love many of the boards I've put together and the ideas I've toyed with thus far, they in some ways feel off balance? So if anything, I tried to rebalance some of the ideas and priorities in this latest board.
P.S. I did try on this dress the same day I found the DRESS dress and I kind of loved it, too. (Sassi Holford, Lucy. and P.P.S. I think it might be a sign that the other dress I thought was the dress -- the first time -- was also called Lucy, except it was from the Vineyard Collection of Priscilla of Boston. So maybe there was just a slight mix-up and I was supposed to end up with this Lucy? These are the crazy things a bride can think about.)
Anyhoo. I'm actually surprised I was able to put this together tonight. The last thing I have been wanting to do is think about wedding planning stuff. I've been enjoying the time off but maybe have also been kind of in a rut. Of feeling like it was coming together really quickly and either there wasn't much left to do, or that I wasn't all that excited about how the ideas were gelling. Or not gelling, actually. And also realizing that I know this isn't the most important part, but that it is kind of fun, and that if I'm not having fun, why engage until I'm going to have fun again?
K. Rambling now. Time for bed!
