Hello and welcome! I hope you find this blog fun and inspirational, whether it be for your own wedding, a wedding you are helping plan, a glamorous party you are throwing, or even just to find some inspiration on details, decor or fashion.Here's a little information about myself... I got married in late September of 2008. I am not one of those people who are obsessed with weddings or wedding planning or mourns the fact that her own wedding is over... I am the type of person who loves and appreciates the details that make a wedding special (and even how those little details can be applied to everyday life).
The inspiration behind this blog actually came from a post on my other blog (which you can find at
http://villettejewelry.blogspot.com/2009/08/somethings-hiding-in-here-take-look.html). I have often said "if only I could relive my wedding day ten different times"... and I happened to mention this very sentiment in a blog entry. At the insistence of my friend after reading that, I decided to start collecting all the inspiration I had for my wedding that I never used due to time, money, already made selections, etc. So here I am... writing a wedding blog! Essentially, this is to
alleviate all my daydreams of what I would have done if I could have lived my wedding day ten times over (of course, without having to pay for it ten times!). Enjoy!
But in my pre-wedding dream state, I had dreams of having my wedding in many different locations- the Society Hill Rose Garden (where my husband proposed), large historical estates and castles within the area, and even the Philadelphia Zoo. Every place I visited I would instantly have a flash of the entire set-up of my potential wedding in my mind. But there was one location, that everytime I walk past, I think, this would be a wonderful, unexpected location for a wedding... Headhouse Square:
Slightly enclosed but still open to the cobbled city streets... I envision strung lights and a lot of candles, a cocktail party atmosphere with lounges set up for casual mingling. I think I love this location because it reminds me of the time when I saw a dinner table set up on a patch of pavement in between an intersection of city roads... it was this elegant, dinner party set up- with white table linens, crystal glasses, small colorful bouquets, candles and the most elegantly dressed family sitting down to a celebratory dinner- just set up in the middle of an intersection. It still seems surreal... and this would be my way of reenacting that moment.
