Once A Wedding Planner . . .

I'm getting ready to jet off to DC for a girls weekend and am soooooooo very excited because besides having an amazingly good time (a given!), this trip's other purpose is to help my cutie-patootie friend Courtney celebrate her engagement and get wedding plannin'!

So in honor of Court's engagement, this post is all about weddings. The bride-to-be has a huge personality, to make up for her towering 5, 2" stature :), and is more about fun than frills, so I can immediately picture her wedding to be a simple, clean, modern, fun (very FUN!!) affair. Currently her color scheme of choice is yellow & grey, which happens to be one of my favorite color combos as well. . . I taught her well :).

Having planned a wedding or two in my day, I know that favorite colors, ideas, locations, etc, etc, can change in a heartbeat, and usually do a time, or five, before the couple finally comes to their perfect plan. It's all part of the process people! So while yellow & grey are still the "it" colors of the moment I thought I'd provide our beautiful bride with a little inspiration.

For when she's feeling modern . . . .
