I want to take a moment to share with you some of my favorite details of the process thus far. I take joy in the little things so these are not necessarily the BIG line items...
The girls' dresses:

love. these. Easy, clean lines, flattering, comfy. YAY.
Our accent color:
Oh man, do I love the color red. I knew all along that I wanted to do black bridesmaids dresses, but had no idea what color to pair with that. I thought about doing bouquets of brightly colored wild flowers, something that would really pop against the black, but as I started flipping through magazines and googling flowers, the only ones that really jumped out at me were red flowers, and among all of the red flowers I favored (by far) Black Magic Roses. And since Dan and I both love deep, rich shades of red it was easily decided that we would base the rest of the event off of that. And so the color red will be making special appearances in things like our invitations, the programs, the table cloths and all of the centerpieces (which will be a combination of low boxes filled with black magic roses and berries and tall trumpet vases filled with red orchids and curly willow). It may sound like a bit much but mixed in with everything else we are doing it looks dreamy, I assure you :) YAY red!
This song:
This has somehow become 'our song' and whenever I hear it my heart swells with love for my husband-to-be and excitement for the beautiful life I know we are going to have together. It has been present at many of the important moments in our relationship (at our one year anniversary, and on the night he proposed in London), so it only makes sense that we should incorporate it into this special event as well. We are either going to have our first dance to it or I will walk down the aisle to strings playing it. Either way will be magical...we are just trying to figure out which one feels more like "us".
And there you have it...a few of my favorite things :)
