winter wedding thoughts

inspiration from the knot

so we are thinking december 2009 and want a cozy rustic wedding. after seeing a lot of places this past weekend, i realize that winter weddings get tricky since everything must be planned indoors and not a lot of venues have two indoor spaces.

i don't think we want to use one space for both the ceremony and reception because it's nice to have it separate and offer the guest to flow around to different places. but we not sure if we want our guest to have to drive and park twice, especially cause SF has terrible (very!!) parking. plus that also means two venue fees! (these weddings really do add up)

but we still love the idea of winter... maybe serve hot apple cider during cocktails. we also want a place that has a (or multiple) fireplaces so people can stay toasty. maybe a mistletoe in the entrance. or hang the guest table assignments on a xmas tree.

still alive

i am still alive! have been busy quitting my job and starting to plan the move to chicago. this past weekend, my mom was in town and we drove all around town to look at venues for the big days. right now we are thinking next winter.

key buzz words for our "wedding vision" - cozy, rustic, winter, cute, simple, elegant but casual, lots of pink, comfort foods, hot cider, mistletoe, cocoa, coffee...

we must have seen at least 10 venues and my head is spinning. there are so many things to consider. ceremony and reception in one place? who has tables? BYO alcohol? how is parking? is the space too big? is the space too small? can we light candles? how much time? eek! more thoughts later. :)

sparkley wedges

these are the shoes that we wore at the wedding in sayulita. they are very comfortable and the gold really pops. the wedding was out on the grass so we could only wear wedges. do you like? they are only $35 on amazon right now. maybe i should get another color :)
