Having lots of time to see other weddings having attended so many, coordinating too many to count, and daydreaming on the side. I think I have the following figured out and can't wait till I get to share it with the world.
Theme
For starters I really love the olden days and antiques. Therefore I want to do a Victorian theme wedding with a mix of a masquerade ball, because its always been my dream to go to one back in the Victorian era. Sounds odd perhaps, but in my head I have thousands of ideas as to how to pull it off and it will be amazing! Everyone will be wearing masquerade masks during the reception and encouraged to wear Victorian era style clothes to the wedding.
I love seeing everyone play their slide show of photos growing up. That's a definite to do. However I really want to incorporate a video of all of my friends and family members who are still married telling us how they've met, how long they've been together, and their advice to us on being married. Similar fashion to the movie "when Harry Met Sally," because its my favorite romance movie. Would be so great to watch and feel more personal involving others in our slide show.
I love all foods so this one was tricky, but after seeing this at a wedding it is not only tasty, but makes a statement. Served in a pan that's so large it takes five guys to carry it. Its Spanish paella dish. Full of meat, sea food, and rice.
Cake or No Cake?
I've never been a fan of cake and therefore want to do pie instead. I love pie and home made pie is the best. Plus its not as expensive as cake so will save a ton of money on other areas.
Some where with a view. Preferably on top of a mountain and a great view of miles long of nature for the ceremony. Then a castle or stone building courtyard of some sort for the reception. My dream, we will see.
Dress
Oh I know what I'm wearing. I use to model wedding dresses since I was too young to be wearing a wedding dress ha. So I know exactly what I like and my favorite designer St. Pucchi. So I want to wear one of her large fairy tale dresses for the ceremony and I'll switch into another dress for reception. Second dress will be form fitted and Victorian style. Along with both dresses I'll wear Victorian dress boots, a face veil for the ceremony, and a top hat for reception. Just don't want to share the dresses because I still want them to be a surprise for everyone.
I don't want a DJ. I want a band. One dressed up in Victorian era clothing and singing all 50's classics, preferably someone who also has a violin player for the cermony portion. Will be amazing and appropriate for all ages. I want my brother to sing a song at Ceremony and then I want my husband to sing my favorite song, "I'm your puppet" at reception with his groomsmen. In return my bridesmaids and I will sing "Be my Baby." I'm not much of a singer, but will make great footage to watch years after.
So much more ideas come to mind when writing this all out and how fun it will be to coordinate everything for my special day...some day :-)
