I know we're all thinking at least a little about the kind of wedding we want... but how do you want it to feel? If we asked the guests leaving your wedding what it was like and they had to describe it in just a few words, what would you want them to say? Sexy? Fun? Trendy?
I'll start... Romantic and memorable.
I want our wedding to be romantic, fun, and us. I do NOT want it to be stuffy, formal, fancy, etc. I am soooo not a fancy person (some people are, and they work it. I do not).
I agree with you - I want a formal wedding, but I don't want it to feel formal... does that make sense? Fo the fun part we were thinking of buying all kinds of feather boas and silly masks and props for later on in the reception to liven things up. But for the ceremony and like the first dance and all of that stuff, I just want it to have that romantic comedy romance feel, from the music we're using in the ceremony to the small details. I want it to be a celebration of love, not just ours, but everyone there.
Comfortable, fun and memorable... we just want our guests to leaving feeling like they went to a great party. We don't want that uptight feel, like a some of the more formal weddings we've been to.
Elegant, romantic and fun! I want everyone to leave and say how pretty everything was and what a blast they had :)
The cocktail I would like is:
classy, with fun, and a splash of quirky.
Classic, comfy, and laid back...albeit I am a control freak! I was told last night at my little brothers birthday dinner that I was "the meanest Sissy in the world and a bossy Sissy!" (not by the birthday boy of course)
The site where I hope to have the ceremony and reception rents out for the entire weekend. Friday night to Monday morning...So that will cater to our rehersal dinner Friday night to a relaxing Sunday brunch and flag football game! I thought that getting back together Sunday will be great for our out of town guest. Hate to only see them for two days!
This has been a double-edged sword for me, and I"m slowly nearing the end, but I'm going to chime in anyway :).
Our desired vibe: fun, quirky, laid-back, informal
What we're slowly ending up with (mostly because I don't have the energy to keep explaining my choices to FMIL, who thinks I am slightly demented I'm sure): elegant, still fun, still quirky, but less "us". Oh well :). As long as we're married at the end!
Elegant and fun. I'm determined that they can be achieved together!
Laid back and fun. Like the love-child of a Family barbecue and a Calssic car show.
I want the ceremony to be romantic, memorable and personal. I want the reception to be like the most elegant family reunion you've ever been to -- I want people to say, "oh, pretty!" but still feel relaxed and have a great time catching up. I want the after party to be a great time, with lots of laughing and dancing.
Elegant, classy, and beautiful. That's what my vision for it is and with all of the planning we have completed so far, I think we will have just that!
Good post--I'm thinking fun, sophisticated, eclectic, and sentimental. I also wouldn't mind adding the feel of Summer 2010 to mix...
I just want it to feel true to us and like one giant celebration of love with our family and friends with good food and pleanty to drink!
The vibe I was seeking for was: laid-back, a real good time (everyone else seems to be using "fun" so I won't), a bit of home-grown goodness thrown in for good measurre.
I think I would like people to leave thinking "Only she would do something like that...", and not in the bad way. I tend to throw events where my friends will later say to me "I never know what to expect, so I will come, because I know I will enjoy myself".
For some reason, I now feel the need to have nerf-swords. Maybe as kid-favors, but definitely some for the adults to play with.
It will probably end up leaning towards stuffy, as I imagine there are appearances to be kept. Ugh. I will just have to stick the sword in my garter. Yes, that will work splendidly.
A little bit of everything! A little bit of sophistication, a little bit of whimsy, a little bit of romance and whole lot of fun!
Casual elegance; sophisticated but fun, and YES romantic!!!
casual, chic, sophisticated and relaxed :D (dunno how that's going to work but we'll see)
My FI and I have talked about this to no end. And some people think we're crazy. The day will def. be very reflective of "us" since we're putting it together.
I don't need it to feel different and unique and out of the ordinary. We just want it to be a blast! My biggest fear is that people walk away having expected more.
I want our guests to leave - not remembering the food they ate, or the color of the table runner, or the buttons down my bouquet (details we all fret over) - I just want everyone to walk out going "WOOOO! That was awesome!" :)
Relaxed, sweet and romantic (on a modest budget), and a celebration of us and our families and friends
Casual, light. We're originally from Seattle but moved to the other side of the state into the woods, so my "theme" is seattle eco-chic meets mis-matched country casual. Wierd, I know. It's been an uphill battle getting these two ideas to blend. But we're doing it, and it will be unique and memorable!
Fun. Vintage glam and nerd chic. There are so many words that I could use. In the end, I want it to feel like US.
I agree with Dancy. I want people to leave thinking my wedding was totally BA.
Classy & beach-casual. Not a drinking party like some weddings I've been to recently. Formal-looking, but a very casual and laid back feel... and on the beach ;)
Unique, romantic and totally "us". I want NOTHING about the wedding to seem like traditional but want to preserve the romantic aspect of a wedding. I really want people to walk away feeling they learned a little more about us in a way they didn't necessarily expect to enjoy.
elegant, simple, tasteful. but i certainly want everyone to feel relaxed and have a good time. i definitely do not want a formal wedding, esp if it happens to be in warmer weather. but neither me or my SO are formal-dressing, fancy schmancy people. as much as i enjoy wearing formal attire because (let's face it, who doesn't look smashing in a tux or a ball gown?), it gets so uncomfortable after awhile! so something not too formal, not too casual...
laid back, romantic, fun and casual...kind of like an upscalish backyard bbq. almost. lol
oh, and awesomely fantastic. i've already been told that my friends are expecting a great party. no pressure. haha
