Ideas & Inspiration

I know I promised to not bore you to death with all my wedding planning - so I thought I might just take one day a week to share with you what I've come up with and my ideas and inspiration for our July 21 wedding! That way, I don't go overboard AND you guys can give me feedback and let me know how you think it's all coming together. Sound like a plan? Good! Here we go!

We booked our venue last week. We are getting married at Tankersley Gardens, which is one town over. It's a gorgeous garden venue with a chapel. We've decided to hold the ceremony in the chapel and the reception will  be both indoor and outdoor.

I mentioned it before, but in case you're new to the party, my inspiration for planning is my own version of the Mad Hatters Tea Party - so really, I'm looking at a vintage inspired tea party/garden party. Here are a few of the things I've come up with thus far and I'm pretty well set on.

We are meeting with the caterer this week, so I hope to be able to share our menu ideas with you guys next week. Everything is just falling into place as far as the look and feel of what I'm wanting. I am very intent on using succulents throughout the entire thing - when I first saw the idea I was hooked. I think it gives everything a beautiful natural feel and another hint of color, besides the navy and marigold we plan to use.

If you've planned a wedding, what was your theme/feel/inspiration? And how did you ensure it all came together on your special day?
