My Old Fashioned Wedding

Our Wedding:

Date: Not yet set!
Location:
Church - Small and old. If I could get married in the little Catholic Catherdal in Antwerp, Belgium, that's where we'd be wed. None of these huge monstrosities that look like stucco office buildings.
Reception Venue - Somewhere light and elegantly casual, preferably in a well groomed, French Renassaince style garden, Somewhere outside Houston, TX
Ideals: A Fall wedding, with the reception being during sunset. (But with Abel & a lot of his friends and family in the Navy, who knows when we'll be 'permitted' to have it, hehe)
Guests: Close friends and family, hoping my family from Scotland and his distant family in Mexico and those in the US Navy may join us on our special day!
Theme: Casual elegance with a 'nod' to old English inspired Colonial America during the late 1800's. I plan on a lot of fun, DIY projects being included.
Dining: No "Chicken or Fish?" queries here. I plan on doing something trendy and different, with a less "These are our caterer's..." feel, and more of a "Look at what we cooked for you!" feel.
Bridesmaid Attire: My bridesmaids will not be clones. I will choose a single color, or possibly 2 colors, and then each of my bridesmaids will be able to choose a dress that fits them and their own personal style, as long as I approve it to be the right shade.

To The Letter

The monogrammed letters on the table is a great decorating idea that I am probably going to add to my long list of idea's for my own wedding, but if I could get them in wrought iron, or maybe wood, that would match my theme better.

Nature & Opposites

I really like the idea of the black and white with the yellow flowers. And of course the sunshine and nature is beautiful...love the tree's and the shade it brings.

Simple Goodness

I love the simplicity of this table setting. I love the umbrella, and the dark wood with the lighter table cloth. Not too fond of the centerpiece though...

Sunflowers

I love the sunflowers and wildflowers around the archway. I don't know if I would use that exact flower, maybe just wildflowers all around and jasmine. That way whenever I'm getting married, I'll be smelling Jasmine the whole time and for the rest of my life, whenever I smell Jasmine, I'll be reminded of our wedding and our everlasting and ever present love :-)

Twisted Twine

Three words...Twisted twine...and...wildflowers. All me. I also love the dark wooden chairs.

Sparkling Love

I love the sparklers! What a great alternative to throwing rice or blowing bubbles. Paperdolls Photography might be something worth looking in to as well.

Houston Could Be Good

Houston might not be as devoid of beauty as I thought. I'll have to show this picture to the photographer. I like the idea of having our wedding party stand behind us, and I like the idea of the guys not matching in an exact sort of way, even if I may want the girls to match that way.
