Weddingbee boards

I've attended about 30 weddings in the last 3 years. I am so sad to see things I saw randomly and loved and decided to do... considered "played out." I have loved damask forever.. and now its everywhere. I wanted a birdcage veil and fascinator-- every wedding i went but one this year, the bride had a fascinator. I stopped dead when I saw sticks with crystals hanging off as a centerpiece... and it seems a lot of people in blog land have done it now. I thought peacock feathers would be different... and it is to me IRL but not online! Purple has been a favorite color of mine for a long time... and I went to 4 weddings this year with purple as the color. It's kind of a bummer, because what I thought would be unique is totally "trendy" slash played out I guess.

Plus, my fiance's family is wedding-ed out now. 6 weddings this fall... nothing will be fresh, even though we are all pretty different. Three of us planned from ideas from the same blogs and you can tell. :-) I saw one candy bar though-- the first time I have actually seen one in person.

At the same time, outside of my fiance's family, most people havent attended the volume of weddings I have and I am the first of my generation to get married in my family. I thought magnet save the dates were pretty standard but like 15 people went out of their way to tell me what a neat idea they thought that was-- very impressed. 

It's my hope that people will have a great time at our wedding and not notice if something is played out or something. :-/ If they do.. I hope they can enjoy themselves anyway. We tried to plan an event that is "us" and includes elements we love.
