it’s all in the details…

at the wedding i attended this past weekend, while we were waiting for the ceremony to start, i was chatting with a friend about how we’d plan our own weddings. she’d run to reno and do a quickie ceremony as she’s not into planning and she knows that i already have been thinking about ours.

but when she asked me what the bridesmaids would wear, i drew a blank.

“um, dresses?”

sure i know what colors i want and whether i want an indoor or outdoor ceremony/reception and even the invitation design [at the moment that is. i’ve already gone through several revisions and we’re still about at least two years away from an engagement] but what to wear? um, haven’t really thought about that.

here’s the thing: styles change some from season to season. plus, i don’t even know what month we’re going to be getting married in, which also affects the type of dress we all wear. that and i’m just not that excited about looking at dresses at the moment.

sure i’ve looked at plenty of dresses and thought many were gorgeous but i can’t try anything on. and what’s the fun of looking when you can’t touch?

but i can print out mock versions of an invitation design, or attempt to make a centerpiece or look at décor elements or even price out different options. that sounds more up my alley. besides, i’m more into the details, even though i know most of them will be overlooked. while i don’t care if all of the blues i use match, i love knowing that we’ll have blue in our wedding. i love looking at shoes and figuring out what type of centerpiece i should do and even how to procure the materials for all of these projects. these are the things that make my heart go all a pitter patter.

i love building and creating things and my attention is always more focused towards activities that involve those aspects. plus, with all the stuff i want to do and a relatively short timeline [the boy doesn’t want a long engagement] it would be smart for me to have a clear idea of what i want to do and map out the best way to accomplish it with the least amount of stress. organization is the key here.

and if you learn one thing about me, it’s that i love organization. like, love, love, if it were a person i’d marry it, love organization.

anyone else in love with the details?
