Let me preface this entire post by telling my husband and my mother that I am NOT planning another wedding! I am perfectly happy. But, I do love to look at wedding pictures and wedding websites and see all the latest and greatest trends. I love to plan parties (I really missed my calling on that career), so this is just a fun post to dream about what kind of wedding I might plan today. For anyone…not necessarily for me.
The Cake
Oh, I love the black, white and purple color theme. It is gorgeous. When I got married, I did have different colored tiers, but the colors were pastel and understated. I think if I were planning my wedding today I would not be afraid to go BOLD {via}
The Dress
I actually did have a purple wedding dress…but it was a very pale lavender so you can’t even tell it’s purple in my pictures. I think this dark purple is much more suited to my personality.
The Rings
When Bob and I went ring shopping I had a vision of a diamond solitaire with tanzanite accents. I ended up with something beautiful, but entirely different from what I had imagined. Ten years later, I still dream of a diamond and tanzanite ring…maybe on our 20th anniversary?
I think we both might have benefited from some tungsten rings instead of the traditional gold ones. Tungsten wedding bands are both gorgeous and durable since they resist everyday scratches. I know Bob’s ring is all scuffed up and my poor ring needs a serious polishing.
Dessert Table
I would love to have an afternoon wedding so I could just do a beautiful dessert table like this (click the photo for flickr credits). Dessert tables are very much in fashion and I have seem some really creative ones lately. You can have so much fun with a dessert table!
What would your dream wedding today be like? The wedding I had was beautiful and I loved it but it is still so much fun to imagine another!
At the very top of my list of places to visit is Italy. And this is the Cinque Terre Village on the Italian Riviera. I just want to live in that little pink house all the way to the right. (via)
One day I was driving and talking to Anthony. He asked me if we could go to China (I love how he thinks we can just pick up and head over like it’s not half a world away). I told him that I hoped when he grew up that he would have the chance to visit anywhere in the world that he wanted to go. I hope he gets to walk on the Great Wall of China. (via)
I actually have been to Multnomah Falls near Portland Oregon and it is absolutely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. All of Portland was amazing and I wouldn’t even mind living there. (via)
Australia! This is the place at the very top of my husbands “must visit” list. He has always wanted to go to Australia. (via)
Toronto, Canada is on my list purely because my very best friend lives there and I want to go visit!
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is AMAZING. I wish I was a better photographer in order to truly capture it’s beauty. One of my life goals is to hike to the bottom so I can’t wait to go back!
Where is somewhere amazing you really want to visit in person?
I obviously did not say the original quote, otherwise they wouldn’t be considered “quotes” (der), but I did create the word art graphics. You have my permission to use them if you like them enough. I would appreciate credit back but it’s not required. I’m cool like that.
I’m sorry. My kids are in school and I’m BORED. You would think that I could use this time to be infinitely creative and write masterful posts about philosophical things. But, no. Instead, I am sharing pictures of things you would never catch me dead doing. Just looking at these pictures make me nauseous. Won’t you be nauseous with me?
This is in Preikestolen, Norway. You could not pay me money to go out there. If you click on the image, it will take you to this guy’s Flickr where in his description he mentions that 10 people FELL OFF just that day. I have no idea if that’s true or not, but it’s completely believable to me.
Not enough pay in the World for me to take this job. These people are CRAZY.
I don’t remember where I found this picture, but I think it’s a photoshop edit. Either way, it’s super cool and wicked scary all at the same time. I would not be able to meditate here for I would be in a panic and on the verge of a heart attack.
I would walk my fat ass out onto this glass and go crashing to my death. No Thank You.
This is my very own lovely husband who was constantly scaring the shit out out of me while at the Grand Canyon last year. I have many pictures of him out on the ledge looking over. I guess he was really trying to see what it would be like to leave me a widow.
Are you afraid of heights?
