Hi, guys! I’m planning my wedding we have our date set for October 2021! The problem is I always wanted to be married I just never had a “dream wedding” in mind, so I’m constantly thinking of ideas changing colors, I thought I wanted indoor but now I’m loving the idea of outdoors. Any advice on how to pinpoint your specific idea of dream wedding? Did anyone knew what they’ve always wanted, did anyone that’s married now go with their “dream wedding idea? Or did it change?

    I totally know what you mean and that’s exactly how I picked my dress!! I searched winter wedding, and then kind of narrowed it down to burgundy so then I searched burgundy wedding colors. I recently realized I should add blue because of the windows in the venue so I added that to the search!! I think I like burgundy, dusty blue, and a darker blue (but not navy).

    Right! But I’m so bad with that! I changed my major on college a few times I knew I wanted to work around children though! So in two weeks I’ll be graduating with my bachelors in education! lol I went from biology to social work to my now major! I usually pray for guidance if that makes since & go with my heart! Hopefully I can do the same put ideas together and pray I find the perfect idea from my selections of things!

    Chile! Don’t me started on cold majors! I changed mine a few times also! We for sure got the date and season down! We both love October and the atmosphere of it! I knew I love rustic but elegant & romantic & bohemian so how can I have all four I thought? What if I do very flowery greenery but rustic romantic touch for ceremony and do it outside because I love the vibe of an outside and indoor wedding I’ve been to both style weddings! And for the reception which could be indoor I can do elegant and romantic type! I have soooooo many ideas and things I’m so happy thing not October 2020 because it’ll be all over! I know by next October I want to have a exact detail of my wedding because I like things to be in order and on time before hand! Pinterest is my best friend for now! I don’t want to add friends or family in my mix because I don’t want them to tell me what they like to dislike and it becomes everybody else wedding and not mine you know?

    Blue accents with a lot of colors it’s like a black! And I love how any shade can compliment any color! Beautiful color choices! We sound like we in ten Same boat with colors I thought about replacing one color here and adding this there or just adding a color with out replacing 🤷🏾‍♀️ Might as well have a rainbow 🤣🤣

    I was never that little girl that dreamed of my wedding. When my now husband and I decided to get married, we planned it based on our budget and what things we liked. We toured several venues and chose one that we both felt fit into our budget and was beautiful. We chose our date because there was something about it we liked, etc. For things like colors, I would think it's best to choose the venue and then the colors later to ensure they coordinate. I originally chose blue and green (my and husband's favorite colors) and then my SIL pointed out they would clash with the venue space, so we changed them. The best advice, I feel, is to just look at multiple options and see what you two like.

    I’ve always had an idea of what I wanted my wedding to be like. The colors have been picked for years lol. It’s both our favorite colors (blush and royal blue). I knew I wanted a summer wedding which meant I needed an indoor event. It’s over 100 degrees in the summer so I didn’t want everyone and myself sweating. I would suggest choosing your venue first that can help you decide what vision you would want (glam, rustic, etc) and put together a binder. I’m on Pinterest so I’m constantly saving stuff but I tend to overwhelm myself cause I’ll keep saving more and more so it makes it harder to narrow down. So I take the pins I really like and print them off to put in my binder.

    I’m the same way... I was never that girl that dreamed about her fairytale wedding or had a Pinterest wedding board board since I was 15 lol... it just wasn’t my thing. One strategy that has worked for me is making a Pinterest board and saving everything that catches my eye: makeup, dresses, color schemes, decor, etc. I revisit the board every so often and delete the images that I no longer like or feel would work for me. Anything that lasts more than a few months is probably something that I’ll end up using. One thing that all my vendors have told me so far: once you order your dress, stop looking at other dresses. Once you book your venue, stop looking at other venues. There will always be a dress, venue, color, shoe, etc. that your mind might trick you into thinking is “better.” Just go with your instincts and what catches YOUR eye! Smiley smile
