PS – wedding vendors – you’ve never seen such romance in about hiring a caterer! Worth watching just for that scene towards the end.
Little girls have big wedding dreams and unlimited imaginations. Now look at that from a different perspective. You want the person designing your wedding to have…big wedding dreams and unlimited imaginations. Hey, look! In-house wedding planners unfettered by budget or reality! Let them tell you all their thoughts and dreams and stories. And when the wild dream of a cotton candy dress becomes a cotton candy cart at the reception, you’ll know who to thank. With a big fat ball of cotton candy
We’ve been re-arranging, decorating and cleaning our humble home recently. The blog Apartment Therapy and their guided “January Cure,” (a task-a-day kick start to a year of clutter clearing and nesting activities,) got us going and now we’re off on all sorts of projects and improvements.
When we get on this sort of kick, the ideas start flowing. There was one brilliant idea we were super excited about that was going to revolutionize our space and make our lives easier – but we can’t remember what it was. During our burst of creativity and inspiration, we neglected to take out pad and pencil, (or Ipad and finger) and write it down.
Write down how you see your decor, so we can get it just right, like this wedding canopy.
Do not follow our example with your wedding planning light bulb moments! Write EVERYTHING down that inspires you. Later on you’ll combine the decor idea from your co-worker’s cousin’s buffet with the recipe you read in Gourmet magazine at the dentist’s office, the classical music you heard driving after admiring a scene in a Bollywood movie with gauzy fabric and a zillion candles. But it will only come together if you keep paper & a pen (or your favorite way to make notes- Ipad, voice memo, etc)
in your desk at work
in your purse
in the car
next to your fave spot to watch TV
Another great (and quite common) source of inspiration? Your dreams. So don’t forget one more pad by the bed. Sleep tight.
