About Ms. Stripes

Well folks, I hate to disappoint, but I think it’s gonna look just like any other wedding.

Um. Scratch that. It’s OUR wedding, so it’s gonna be awesome.

Here’s one of the first inspiration boards I made after we decided on a venue. I’m still pretty in love with it, although it has definitely evolved a bit.

So What’s a Two-Bride Wedding Look Like Anyhow?? :  wedding color schemes decor Wedding0140 Wedding-Board

photo credit:barn=me, table, pink lemonade, sign, wedding dress, string lights, my gorgeous ring, felt birdies, cake, awesome dresses, adorable centerpieces, Mrs. Cherry Pie’s Coca-Cola, red shoes

What do I like about this board? Well it’s fun, it’s festive, it’s a little girly and it’s pretty laid-back. It’s a very pretty party that I’d like to be a part of! (Say that 3 times fast.)

What’s gonna change?

I think we’re going to incorporate some brighter color/pattern for the bridesmaids and go a little less shabby and a little more chic. Vintage/modern French carnival anyone?

I’ll have to devote another post to the actual practical differences in a two-bride wedding—you know, like who walks who down the aisle first, how our (all female) attendants walk down the aisle—alone? together? etc., and the all-important, all-dreaded, “I now pronounce you partners for life.” Eff that nonsense. We’re getting married, not starting our own business, people.

So, stay tuned for that!

“We’re getting married, not starting our own business, people.” I love this, because it’s so true.

i might steal “eff that nonsense” as a new catch-phrase.

great board! Why not just mrs and mrs? Which… just like any other wedding, brings up the question of last names.

I may “borrow” the “Nuptials and Rock and Roll” signage. I also love the dark tights/colorful shoes combo!
