Wedding Planning

I am planning a wedding. It's a big feat, but made smaller by the fact that said planning is taking place over the course of almost two years. Most recently, I have begun working on my centerpieces, of which part will double as my favors. Here is what I envision:

Vases will be placed on mirrors. Tree branches will be scavenged (mother nature is the best provider of decor), and spray painted silver or white (or both...hmmm). Branches will be placed in vases. Upon said branches will be hung our favors, which are snowflake ornaments.

Now, our wedding is not Christmas-y in the truest sense of the word, taking place after Christmas and during the Epiphany, but I figure the ornaments are wintery enough to be acceptable, and perhaps people will not yet have packed up their Christmas decorations, so they can gently place our little snowflakes in the ornament box for next year.

Beading has been going slowly, but it's fun. Aren't they pretty?


I have also been contemplating walking down the aisle to "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella." It's pretty, and French (like the Affianced), and different. Also seasonal. And I hate "Here Comes the Bride big, fat and wide.)"

All in all, I'd say planning is going well.

Also, I've been trying to find some kind of reflections/meditations, etc. for marriage preparation (in the form of a blog, perhaps?), but have had no luck. Sarah? Mom? Any ideas?
