i was going back over some old files to see what i could stand to delete and came across some pictures of things i liked when i first started researching for the weddening.
and can i say, man, what a difference a year or so makes. seriously. it’s almost like looking back at pictures of you in high school [which, thanks to a friend on facebook, i get that lovely opportunity]; it’s not too bad but you wonder what you were thinking.
oh so the pictures. once upon a time i had a completely different version of the weddening going on, one i like to refer to as weddening 1.0. the theme [when i believed weddings needed themes] was something along the lines of “movie love” because one of my friends said the boy and i had that kind of love. anywho, let’s just say i’m glad i graduated from that hot mess. with a theme like that, you can either hit it out the park [a la a vintage hollywood type glamour] or miss completely and look like you’re the head of your senior class prom decorating committee.
needless to say i may have been the president of that committee.
i think if i were able to edit some of my initial inspirations and maybe changed the focus a little bit it could have worked but i ended up quickly abandoning the idea after the boy expressed surprise that i wasn’t going with my favorite color.
anywho, the thing that struck me [besides the fact that i wanted stargazers in my bouquet – i mean, could i have picked a more fragrant flower?] were the invitations. and how boring they are to me now.
i don’t remember what exactly appealed to me but it must have been something because i had three different pictures. and one of them even includes the fashionable tulle ribbon that i’ve since developed an irrational dislike of. i seriously think i overdosed on tulle after helping to decorate for a wedding and encountering an unholy amount of it, but that is neither here nor there.
i’ll keep searching to see if there are any other pictures from the ill-fated weddingpromextravaganza that i can share. and just like high school, i’m already kind of embarrassed to share.
