Part of me wanted to start an engagement blog as a "creative" outlet. Something to make me think every day. The other part was in order to remember this time in our lives. Since this time in our lives may be a bit longer than I first thought, instead of getting mad, I should embrace it. I should keep researching wedding stuff to get more ideas so I really can personalize and perfect my day. Because it will happen, although it may be later rather than sooner. So, I am going to work to blogging with a purpose. I am either going to write about wedding ideas, or recipes Andrew tries, or goals, or restaurants, or something! Let's see how I do at actually trying to say something.
First thing's first- here are some things I found that I loved, pre-"put the wedding on hold and have a pity party:"
So simple, and most likely cheap. I think you can get all of these candleholders at Ikea. This would be great if we could have long, rectangular tables. I'm not sure if I would like them clustered on round ones.
I am pretty sure this is what I want, only maybe branch-ier. I don't need to have flowers, but I love the hanging candles. Unfortunately, I priced the manzanita branches, and they are not cheap. Maybe I can find some fake ones that are more affordable? I will be on the lookout.
As I have already mentioned, we want to put TONS of candles in our potential wedding venue. If we have candles, we need candleholders. Say hello to the world's cheapest candleholder: a white lunch bag accented with a page edger for scrapbooking (which, of course, I already own!). This is what they look like lined up. Pretty, no?
And, finally, I found this tonight.
Pretty pretty. It is a taller version of something Andrew and I have seen before and loved. I especially like it because I could use 1-2 hydrangeas per table and therefore not spend TOO much of my flower budget. Genius, right?
I am off to go do exciting things like scoop the litter box and watch Bones in bed with the honey. I am off all weekend so I plan to do a trial run of my mom's mother's day gift and take Andrew somewhere special for a treat. He finished culinary school this week so I think he deserves something special!
