And so it all begins...

I have became ultra organized about this whole wedding planning process let me tell you. Now, I am not much of a planning person (I am a teacher though so it's kinda programmed in.) I also am not big on crazy extravagant themes. I am very simplistic in my fashion, design, decor, etc. This is not to say that my Pinterest is not overflowing with ideas. I have went a little crazy on that part I do believe. But, hey, you can never have enough ideas I don't think.

Anyways...

The planning has begun and here is where I am so far!

The Date

July 20, 2013 

Now, I was never one to think about my wedding hardly AT ALL growing up, but when I did I had always imagined a fall wedding. Then.... I became a teacher. Summer is the only option. Also, Tim's brother and his fiancee are getting married April 13. We figured we space it out a little for Tim's parent's sake :) A beautiful (and hopefully not scorching hot) summer wedding it is.

The Venue

The Mavris Arts and Event Center - Downtown Indianapolis

This was my DREAM. LOCATION. And really, the only place I could see myself getting married. I had seen pictures from a friend's wedding and I just knew. This was even back before I met Tim! Before I even had wedding bells in my near future (Geez what a difference a year makes...)

I am beyond excited to get married here. Beyond!

       

Can you say hello gorgeous wood floors and exposed brick?

Colors

Navy & Coral (with some Gray)

This was a tricky one for me. I knew navy would be in the mix but the other color was up in the air. I ended up with coral because I loved all the different pink, orange, red hues I can incorporate. Hello beautiful! I also plan to hopefully use many patterns such as polka dots (my favorite), chevron and floral. 

Next up on the planning list - engagement party planning, engagement pictures, and thrift store shopping for centerpieces.... (along with 2987354 things I am sure I will think of)

and p.s. I have been working on a wedding website - mywedding.com/timandjami

Don't forget, I said "working". Not done yet :)
