Weddingbee Blog

Way back when I discovered Weddingbee, I would stumble across bee bloggers who were well into their planning, hammering out the weeks-before details. If I wanted to know anything about the “feel” of their wedding—their bridesmaids dresses, their colors, whatever—I had to click their icon, click “Older” posts a bunch of times and scroll. A lot.

Since I often write posts with no pictures at all, I figured I’d prove to new readers (I know you Christmas, New Year’s and Valentine’s Day engagees are out there) that we actually have concrete plans for our wedding, not just a bunch of relationship babble. Also, I’m so close to my wedding that I am writing this post to remind myself: there are things that are decided. There are things that are cohesive. Or something.

Color scheme:

(swatches via 100 Layer Cake)

Bridesmaid dresses:

Mother of the bride dress:

(via Nordstrom)

Bouquets (or in my mom’s case, a nosegay) that ideally look something like this one, which is perfection to me:

Ties for the guys (worn with black suits):

Inside of venue (cute silhouettes, right?):

Tablecloths will mostly be this color:

With a few floral tablecloths like this:

And decorated with flower arrangements and various what-nots made of black wrought iron:

(from IKEA)

And also our table numbers and place cards:

Stationery used:

My apparel is mostly top-secret except for one little snippet posted here, and these are our accessories:

So…that’s it. The trappings of a wedding that is so close to here. Each piece, chosen over 18 months time, will soon come together, and I can’t wait.

Any other May gals still out there?
