Miss Scone, Napa/Kansas City Age and Occupation: 31, Recruiter Fiancee's Age and Occupation: 33, Motorcycle Mechanic Engagement Date: April 15, 2010 Wedding Date: July 2012 Venue: Boulevard Brewery About Me: I am a West Coast girl that fell for a Midwestern girl. I can’t get enough of baking, projecting, family and our fluffy dog child Darby. I bake by smell, haven’t used a timer in years and years. Having a major project on the horizon and a busy schedule keep me sane. I love beer even though I live in Napa (but I like wine too, just not as much as beer). We are planning a family friendly convivial affair in Kansas City and can’t wait to share the adventures.

Our First Draft

February 13th, 2012 @ 3:04 pm by Miss Scone

…of an inspiration board was not on Pinterest or any other website. Because our unengagement started awhile back, these types of tools weren’t quite widespread yet…

I started by saving pictures from blogs and internet searches. Some of these were supplemented with personal images. After running ideas by Sweetie Scone and getting input, I would delete images that were no longer in the running. A few weeks before our first face-to-face meetings with our DOC and florist, we tried figuring out the best way to share these images. Our solution was a PowerPoint presentation. This could have been a repercussion of being in graduate school. In any event, we put together a short PowerPoint and emailed it out to those helping to plan the wedding.

Whenever possible, I tried to locate pictures in the spaces we were planning to use or were interested in using. Inspiration photos were certainly harder to manage just a couple of years ago! Here’s a sneak peek into my type A-ness:

You are a gal after my own heart! I totally made all my inspiration collages in PowerPoint then emailed them to vendors before our meetings… and printed out copies just in case! The things we did before Pinterest. Sigh.
