inspiration.

Sometimes when I am buying, gathering and making stuff for our wedding, I have a really hard time visualizing "the big picture." I fall in love with so many little details and just hope that they will all come together in the end. Luckily, I found this website called Polyvore. Basically, you can put a bunch of images together in a collage, and see how they coordinate with each other. With wedding stuff, this really helped me out. Here is my Polyvore board that includes things that we already have/ things I am planning on having:



After seeing it all together, I really got a much better feeling for what our stuff will look like when it is all in the same place. (Click on the pictures for any image credits/sources.) I am currently addicted to this website and will probably be adding/deleting stuff frequently to see how it looks. Some of the images look weird because they don't have a white background, but at least I now have some sort of direction or style in mind that I am going for! Looks like May 23, 2009 is going to be a very bright and preppy day! haha

EDIT: Ryan is very unhappy with me after reading this post. See the pink fruity drink in the picture above? Well he said "we should do that, but with limes instead of lemons so it is pink & green." which I told him was a really cute idea. He is VERY proud of himself, and knew you girls would be too! So now credit has been given where it is due. Good job fiance :)

Does Ryan have a twin without a girlfriend or significant other? He sounds like my kinda guy. That pink and green comment alone makes him adorable.

P.S. Darn it, I forgot...I'm married...sigh.
