About us and what we're looking for in our wedding

On July 7th 2012, I will no longer have my hideously ugly last name! In fact, I think I'll scoff my old name and just start calling myself "Jennifer Zimny" from here on out! I'm excited to really get down to the nitty gritty of planning my wedding, since we're now under the 100 day mark. I plan to blog here my inspirations and my final results.

At this point I'm not stressed, but I'm not that kind of "bride," I guess. Nothing really shakes me. . . .perhaps it's because I'm a high school drama teacher. It's hard to shake you when you're constantly in that environment!

So here goes with my wedding ideas. . . .

First of all, our colors are jewel tones. I'm not going to for the matchy-matchy bridesmaids dresses. I've chose blue, red, green, purple, and teal for my bridesmaids to wear and to be a theme throughout our wedding. Also thoughout our wedding you'll find hints of Paris because we got engaged at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

So here goes with some inspiration points. . . .



This is the kind of thing I'm going for with the tables. Lots of colors, nothing really matching.



Love these chairs, but I've priced it out and doing every chair would be pretty expensive. So perhpas I might do every other chair or just the ones going down the aisle.



Love these flowers! My idea is for all the bridesmaids to have bouquets of white roses and for me to have all the colors in my bouquet. I think it will be really pretty in the contrast!

Finally, there's the invitations. We're DIYing them, so that will be my next post. We've decided to order some pocketfolds and enclosures and we'll be lining the envelopes are parts of the pockets folds with pages from my complete works of Shakespeare. Actually, my prototype is turning out very cute! We've incorporated all of the colors and have a wording theme of Shakespeare throughout. The next time I post, it will be all about that!

Until them. . . .
