Thea and Kevin's Wedding Ideablog: June 2010

Bridesmaids

I love the cut of these dresses; something similar in turquoise would be great. Rachel, do you remember where you saw that similar one in turq?

Since neither Kevin nor I like things that are too fancy-schmancy, I am collecting alternatives to a traditional tux/suit for his outfit. I am pretty sure Kevin would be more comfortable in something more casual, and since I'm not planning on wearing a floor length gown, a full-out suit may make my dress seem too casual.

These are our friends Tore and Kelli. While I think a bowtie would be a bit too tucker carlson on kevin, i'm really digging the vest.

Fascinators

I want lilies to be a central flower (obviously) so I want to get a lily fascinator.

I love this one, although I don't want a veil at all. I like the birdcage veils, but I think they are sort of expected among brides of my ilk, so I'd rather skip it.

I like the pearls on this one, although I want something with more volume (like the first one).

I like how the lily is really defined on this one.

While its not a lily, I like how big this one is.

I love the idea of adding in vintage jewelry.

Since most of these are made to order, I feel like I can take my favorite aspects of all of these and have one custom made to my taste.

Save the Date cards

The couple even looks kinda like us!
On the topic of tandems, I definitly want to do some wedding pics on a tandem.

Wedding Dress inspiration

I really want a tea length dress!

I wouldn't want a waist sash this extreme, but other than that, this one (more pics here) is lovely.

I love the cut of this one

This is my friend Angie. The bodice of her dress is just what I have in mind.

I like the bodice of this too. I definitly want lace.

Not into that coat thing, but this is a good length.

If this were a few inches longer and a little fuller in the skirt, it would be perfect.

Beautiful Lily and Peacock Feather Bouquet

I definitly need to recreate this for my bouquet. If anyone thinks I'm tossing this baby, they're nuts! I think it would be gorgeous if I freeze-dried it and hung it on the wall somewhere.

Locations

Here are some locations I think would be nice. So far I'm leaning towards the Powel House and the Morris House. All but the horticultural center are downtown.
