Wedding Wednesday's- my latest obsession...

BV Weddings

Trees! I absolutely love the recent rustic craze that has popped up among brides! The barns, the lacy wedding dresses, the Ball jars full of wildflowers; it’s just great! I think that my love of hiking and the woods also has something to do with my love of incorporating this flora into weddings.

Let’s be honest with each other, I may seem calm and collected, but I tell you what, the first few months of engagement were mostly utilized with letting the crazies out. Just because Duchess Catherine lined the hall of Westminster Abbey with trees DOES NOT mean that I can as well!

Let’s out collective sigh…all of the wedding party and fiancé

I kid you not I was formulating a plan about going out into the woods an uprooting trees to line the aisle of the church. I very enthusiastically told my fiancé and a few friends my thorough plan of how this was all going to pan out, carefully detailing each step to let them know that it was a totally plausible thing to do.

And was VERY quickly shot down!

Some brides have done a nice job in incorporating various tall centerpieces. From surfing the latest bridal forums and website manzanita branches are highly popular and to be frank, a lot more than I would be willing to pay for a piece of broken off tree.

Having said that, if tree type figures do make it into the wedding it will come form the cheapest form I can find them: the backyard.

It’s been said though that the amount of time you think it takes to complete a DIY project you should probably multiply that by about 5 and that will be the actual amount of time.

Needless to say I have some serious planning to do!

I won’t lie and say all of my wild ideas haven’t evaporated. We still have a year to go! But I will say that fireworks and full sized trees have already made their way out the door.

Thanks for hanging on for the ride! Next week, we will be continuing again with some less personal wedding stuff. So stay tuned!!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and enjoy the fall weather that has finally arrived!
