Even though I helped Erica for six-months, there is still SO much I am learning through this process (with the help of an amazing planner of course).
So here we are. Me planning a wedding, and you planning a wedding. So the only natural solution here is for us to help each other! For the next 5 months, I will be blogging about my struggles and successes of planning a wedding. Also, for the next 5 months you can comment, tweet or email me your questions or anything I need to know during all of this!
Lets go ahead and kick this blog off with my very first obstacle when I got engaged. Since I was 5, I have said I want to get married at Lovely Lane Chapel, a historic chapel on St. Simons Island where my family and I have vacationed all my life. When it finally came time to pick a venue I was very confused. Did I really want a destination wedding, or was my family so invested in the story, that I didn't want to let them down?
After 4 days, and taking tours of 13 different locations for a reception on the island... I was more confused than ever. Sure I loved the chapel, and we had good options for reception venues, but is a destination wedding what I wanted?
My wonderful fiance gave me the best advice of all. On the phone one night while we were there I was venting about the decision, and how I just truly didn't know. He said to me, "Sarah, you've been talking about this place since you were five. You love it, your family loves it. Don't pick something else because its easier. We are all going to help to make sure it is your perfect day, even if it's more complicated out of town."
Our final choices ended up being Lovely Lane Chapel and Historic City Hall.
The wedding will have a romantic feel, with all dark wood in both locations, stained glass in the chapel and high ceilings with chandeliers in Historic City Hall.
So get ready as we have to work through caterers, rentals, bands, florists and everything in-between.
Check back soon; our next post will be on fashion and save-the-dates!
