So,,,, not much wedding stuff happening, hence, no blog posts for a while.

We did officially get contracts, but had to push the wedding coordinator lady to get them to us... this has left matt with a really, really bad taste in his mouth, and he thinks we should scrap this plan and look elsewhere. i'm not so certain -- i've done a bit of online research, and this has pretty much everything i want, and i think that the excess amount of time we have will make the poor communication bearable. on the other hand, i do see his point, and would be lying if i said i wasnt worried at all. eh... we have some time before we need to make a decision, so we will talk it over.

Fun stuff : its really really hard to make a decision on color/theme!!! i have 2 (i almost typed 32, ha, i would have some major deciding to do in that case)

general ideas: 1 -- fiesta/mexican folk art/frieda kahlo/dia de los muertos theme -- cobalt blue, bright saturated pink, sunset orange, fun fun colors. can do large tissue paper flowers and cut paper flags for decs, maracas for favors, maybe sm bottles of tequila in welcome baskets, mariachi?? ha. my hatred for the mariachi is well-documented, so def no on that. i have really, really been into this type of thing lately, and the bright colors would put a little spark into the dead of winter. pics of inspirational things for this :


OR, current option #2, warm, classic colors. either dark dark dark purple, copper, and ivory (could throw some peacock feather accents into this ), or light antiquey pink and charcoal grey. Thinking big poofy flowers like pink peonys or ranunculus, lots of lace, vintage, etc. warm, muted colors.

these two are sorta opposites, which is kind of interesting. right now, leaning towards the mexican option. we'll see -- maybe something else will spontaneously pop into my mind, and the wedding will veer into an entirely different direction.
