wordy wedding planning

wedding planning can be really fun. and it can be tough, too. when j and i first became engaged, we were going to have our wedding on a beach. we pictured having a lobster boil by a cottage somewhere for a reception. which all sounds cool, but you need to think about the less fun things like washrooms, parking, accommodations for guests, transportation. and since j and i live 2 flights away from where we wanted to have our wedding, we couldn't have any DIY. we couldn't bring anything from home, or enlist friends to help. so we "settled" on a ceremony outside, at a golf course. and we are having our reception at a hotel. almost all our guests have to travel many hours to get to our wedding, so i love that we are all staying at the same hotel for the weekend. and we are including a few really cool details (as seen in the picture) that i am really excited about. i think it is good to be flexible while wedding planning. maybe you can't do the exact things you pictured, but there are probably really cool ideas you can use. i am so happy that we hired a wedding decorator and coordinator. especially with just a few weeks to go before the wedding, i am so happy i have pros to help us.
