Brainstorming

Would it be a bad idea to have the wedding "dinner" beforehand, and then have the ceremony when the sun had gone down?

Or is there a general flow to a wedding such as arrive, ceremony, dinner, music and dancing?

I was just brainstorming and thinking:

1) A group of us all went lazy river floating during the day

2) Come back, have dinner with close friends and family (or everybody could be invited)

3) Once the sun went down and it was good and dark, have everyone walk down to the ceremony area that would be all lit with candles and the fabric backdrop

4) Then walk back up to the main area of festivities where bands would play and we could boogie down till whenever

Or we could have a whole weekend planned. Arrive on Thursday for rehearsal dinner and settle it. Friday go tubing. Saturday lounge around downtown and get ready with bridesmaids. Could suggest a day trip to super cute Green, TX for rest of family? Wedding Saturday. Sunday could be filled with Bloody Marys and lounging in the sun.

Or we could arrange it on the weekend of an Austin festival that could be the focus of Friday, wedding Saturday, and floating on Sunday.

Haha, just some ideas. Some brainstorming.

Embroidered Invitations

I like this idea a lot--wedding invitations that were embroidered and then scanned in.

Heart Portraits

How freaking cute is this? I adore it. Reminds me of the Two Guitar cards that would make excellent wedding invites.

More of the wedding can be seen at Once Wed.

Save The Date

Seems like more and more people are making online video versions of their Save The Date cards-it helps the environment and all. I found this video today and had a small heart spasm. We absolutely must do something like this for our future wedding...when that happens!
Apparently you send these 3-6 months before the wedding. I vote for 3.

Two Guitars Invites

I've been working as assistant buyer for a home accessories boutique for a couple years now and have come across my favorite stationary ever. Ever.

I think these would be perfect for wedding invites. C, my man whom I love and cherish, is a musician and we're about to embark on this year long road trip to study music. It just seems like a terribly fitting invite for us, with a hint of quirky old world style. Pure love.

The designer, Scott, has some other amazing designs.
