MemberOur date is a palindrome — same forwards and backwards … go ahead check into it … 0102 … 2010 … I love it!
Ours in in Boston.
Would love to know if I have a date twin or even another January 2010 bride!
MemberI love that you did that with your date! I was actually trying to figure out if there was anything with our date like that. It’s 4/24/2010. I was trying to add it up to see…but no! But I still love saying our date! Did you plan it to be a palindrome…or it just happened?
MemberWe didn’t really plan for it — but it kind of worked for us. We will have had a long engagement for many reasons. First – I am traveling for work for three months (Mid Jan — Mid April) so I knew I didn’t want to get married – and then dissappear for three months … also we have NINE wedding before our own!!! Most of which were already planned before we were engaged and will keep us busy for most of the summer. We are big football fans (okay, my fiance is and I just like the tailgating) so fall was out for us. And then it came to the winter and we were thinking new years eve — but looked at the dates and saw that the first will fall on a Friday this year — so our guests and attendants will most likely have the first off from work — and then the second is a saturday so that would work out well…. THEN we realized it was a palindrome and well – long story short we knew it was the perfect date. A friend got married on 06.07.08 and I just loved that idea.
You can make your date whatever you want! Use it for your "logo" or "theme" throughout … or I just realized 4 + 2 + 4 = 10 !!! Go with it! Congrats on your wedding, good luck!
MemberI have the same date in Atlanta!! I love the fact that our date is a palindrome. 🙂
How is your planning going, HumarockBride?
Any other January ’10ers out there?
Memberyay, date twin! unless we go with the Grand Marquis which is already booked for 1/2/10 :O Apparently it’s an annual thing.
MemberNew year’s day checking in! We’ve booked a venue in the Hudson Valley, and I’m hoping it will be just a snowy next year as it is now.
It’s not a palindrome, but 01.01.10 is still pretty fun to write out 🙂
MemberOoh, January 1st could really be worked beautifully into a design. All those ones and zeros will look lovely!
MemberYay date twin! 01/02/2010 in IOWA here! Hopefully it can be a ‘snowy’ wedding!!
MemberOh my goodness YAAAY for date twins!!! I’ve been wishing and hoping to find someone else! When did you all get engaged? We’ll be engaged for a total of 20 months …. so although I am so excited about our one year pre-anniversary — it just feels like it is still so far away! We have a LOT of things planned because I am actually going to be traveling for work for three months (Jan 17-April 18) so we wanted to get most of the big things done before I left. I dont think we’ll have to worry about having a snowy weekend, I’m pretty positive it will happen here in Boston!
What colors, themes, ideas do you ladies have? We are avoiding anything Christmas related — not that we don’t LOVE Christmas just that red and green aren’t our favorite — so we’ve decided to go with a deep plum color and use all different metallics (gold, silver, copper, etc) for accent colors. We’re also going with a "star" theme. Just using stars in our stationary etc.
So happy to hear of other brides who still have another year to go!
Good luck with your planning and happy almost one year pre-anniversary! 🙂
MemberHumarockBride! My colors i am doing are Silver and Gold, possibly some Bronze with deep plum as my flower accent color! My fiance and I definately, like yourself are trying to avoid the christmas thing, event with anything blue-reminds to me of Christmas too. Good luck with all your planning!!!
MemberHaha. It’s all winter, no Christmas for us, too!! Plum must be the color to choose right now, because my fiance and I are doing a frosty color with plum, moss, and peacock accents. We’re going for something that feels like a snowy winter’s night. Rich colors touched by frost and moonlight. I know, it’s hard to communicate.
I doubt we’ll have snow, since I’m in Atlanta, GA, but I can still hope! 🙂
By the way, Miss Bliss, I love your name! Please tell me it’s an old school Saved by the Bell reference!
As far as a theme, we don’t really have one, but we’re working on nailing down a motif to brand our wedding with, and our "keywords" are rustic, elegant, playful, and whimsical.
Do you girls have keywords you’re using to communicate with your vendors?
MemberDriftslikesmoke-use PICTURES!!! Mine have understood what I meant more, when I have shown them pictures. Although the wedding is still so far away, I am planning from 12 hours away, so i already started!
MemberThis is so fun! I love that we have the same colors, makes me happy! We are going with a "written in the stars" theme … you can actually see our save the dates at http://www.jsullivandesign.com’ defer=’defer … We are getting married downtown in the city of Boston so we are going with a really elegant city wedding. So far we havent really had to deal much with vendors that wonder about the theme except the stationery person and she helped us come up with it. I’m a little nervous about flower arrangements but I think we are going to go with using branches or something similar for the bigger pieces and accent flowers. I do need to think about meeting with a florist soon so I can check out all the "winter" flowers.
MemberThe "written in the stars" theme is adorable! My fiancee and I actually met in our Astronomy class in college, so we thought about doing something to that effect and having our reception at a local museum/planetarium, but it didn’t work out. 🙁 I will live vicariously through your theme though! So, so cute!!
MemberThe stars theme is very creative! I am not sure if i am going to have a ‘theme’. Do you think its a good idea to have one? Will it make it easier to plan? What are your thoughts? My colors are silver and gold-very shimmery. I like shiny things like those big diamond crystals you can get, etc. Any ideas let me know!
