Today, my mom and I went to go look at the two venues I've had in mind for a few months. They look beautiful! Fortunately, we were able to explore the spaces two years ahead of the original date I had selected. But, I just can't do it. It is literally 92 degrees and I feel like it would be such a painful wedding for me. (Lauren, you would have to deal with a lot of minor freakouts from your bff haha).
So, I have reverted back to my original plan: a fall wedding in October - this is
for sure this time. And, it's okay that it is over two years from now because it would be great to go to other weddings in between to help come up with some cute ideas.
It seems like this time of the year is wedding fever (June and October), so I thought I would post some of the biggest current trends! (courtesy of the knot)
1. Prohibition-Era Elegance (weird name, I know... but it can work): think 1920s, lace, moonshine, etc.
2. Bold trains are
in
3. Ballerina inspired weddings (all it resurrects for me is terrible visions of Black Swan): think pinks, blacks, feathers, etc.
4. Ivy-League Chic Weddings (cute - I'm gonna need this to stay in if I go through with the J.Crew wedding as expected): Vineyard Vines, Khaki suits, etc.
5. Indian inspiration (Cody - perhaps helpful for your mom's wedding?)
6. Pre-wedding pj parties: pampering and bonding with your close friends before the big day? Sounds good to me!
7. Food trucks - I still think it's a little tacky unless worked well with the theme. The reception will be along the canal in Indianapolis, so I don't think that's gonna work...

That explains the different types of trains.
