With so many color combinations, I'm sure I'm not the only bride who likes a zillion different color schemes. Not only that, but I have a fiance who doesn't even have a favorite color. His only request is "no pink." If any of you know me at all you already know that pink wasn't in the running.
However, with all of that against me, I do believe that I have decided the colors of the wedding! (HOORAY!) Since it's a summer wedding, I really wanted a bold and bright color, (no pastels). I have picked a plum purple! :) For accents, flowers, etc. I've decided on a golden yellow!
I think that these colors will work well together, and I find the combination fairly unique. (I'm sure now that I've decided, I'll see a million purple and yellow weddings before mine, ha!)
I'm extremely ecstatic about these colors and a little surprised at myself since neither purple or yellow are my favorite colors. Purple, though, has been warming to me recently. (my new ipod is purple and so is my new winter coat)
In other wedding news, our knot website is well on its way to being complete. Here is a preview for blog followers.
Hoping the next 17 months go by fast,
Heather :)

Guest List Woes
Note: I modified my blog to accommodate wedding planning, etc. Hopefully anyone that reads this will find it interesting. (I also didn't want to type out all my wedding ideas/issues on facebook/twitter.) :)
So, today I started to attempt a guest list. I had no idea the effort it would take to compile this thing. I have NO idea who to invite and who not to invite to my wedding. I read on www.theknot.com that you should make guidelines to go on, so I think what I'm going to do is say if I haven't talked to someone in the last two-ish years then no invite (expect family). It's not that I want to leave anyone out, it's that each guest costs money, and I only want people there that have really been apart of Philip and I's relationship.
I think that this will be one of the hardest tasks, however, since we still have almost 18 months until the big day, hopefully we'll be able to take this slow. My number one wedding rule is no stress! ha! (we'll see how that goes.)
If anyone that reads this has any guest list advice or ideas, I'm open to anything. Please fill me in. Also, chances are if you are cool enough to read my blog you will probably be getting a wedding invite. So go ahead and send me your address while I'm doing this guest list thing!
Much, much more to come,
The bride to be. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wow, I've been so busy that I haven't blogged in ages!
First and foremost, I'm ENGAGED!
HOORAY!
Philip and I have set the date for June 25, 2011. We both wanted a Summer Wedding after we graduate so it works out perfectly!
More than likely, this blog is going to be converted into a Wedding Update blog! woohoo! I've already swamped myself with planning things! It's almost overwhelming to think about everything that goes into one wedding, but very exciting at the same time!
Okay, more on the wedding at a later date, my birthday and Christmas were both amazing! I must have been a really good girl because I got so many beautiful things, including a new ipod and camera! However, my favorite gift came from my mother. It's my first ornament for when Philip and I have our own Christmas tree.
Anyway, I hope everyone's Holidays were as merry as mine!
I'll write more soon,
Heather
