It would not be stretching the truth to say that as soon as we got engaged in August (August 16, 2011, to be exact!), I didn't waste any time before starting to plan our special day....the wedding date, the ceremony and reception venues, an initial guest list, and ideas for the caterer and photographer were all detailed on a spreadsheet within one week of our engagement!
Our priorities for planning are the following:
- Make it meaningful
- Keep it small
- Stay in our budget
- Have a great time
With our planning priorities established, I am constantly consulting various wedding blogs and websites for ideas, photos and resources to adapt, adopt, and or blatantly copy. While searching on TheKnot.com, I came across a link for a fiesta flair-themed wedding. As soon as I saw the bright colors, papel picado banners, and chocolate-covered churros, I knew this was going to be the theme for our wedding!
Check out this link to see more of what inspired me:
Fiesta Flair
Now all we have to do is personalize the fiesta theme for our special day!
This blog is dedicated to documenting the constant flow of new, must-have ideas we stumble upon or dream up on any given day so that we can be sure to incorporate them on our wedding day!
