Let me preface this by saying I have wedding fever...
Yes. Me. Wedding fever? How did this happen?!
I remember as recently as six weeks ago I was so laid back about the whole thing... I've done this before, yanno? I'm old and jaded. Not interested in a wedding. We're doing the wedding for his mom, not because we actually want one... His mom did all the preliminary prep for us, she decided on a date and time, she booked the venue and then handed over to us to decide on the final decor and our clothes. Yes, all very low input from us, which is exactly the way we wanted it.
And then I found my dress. I fell in love with a gorgeous, pouffy ivory dress that makes me look like a cupcake but feel like a princess...
It's all been downhill since then.
Now I find myself swept away by wedding madness... And desperately seeking ideas for my morning wedding in the forest. I realise morning weddings are not big in the States but they're quite popular over here. I've been to quite a few, but for the life of me, I can't think of what I thought of the decor. Clearly it didn't make much of an impression.
Oh, our colours are dusky pink and sage green (see attached). We are getting married in the Tsitsikamma forest here in South Africa but we're not really hippy. Well, not very. We're less into natural bark and twine and more into pretty greens and pinks with sparkle! I will come back and attach photos of what we already have so far.
If you lovely Pricescopers could give me some ideas I'd really appreciate that!
