One of the biggest things about planing a wedding is the amount of decisions you have to make. What flavor cake, what style dress, do you want white or ivory, do you hire a band, do you hire a dj, do you want a videographer, what colors are you going to use, are you having a theme, what shoes are you going to wear, and so on.
Well these are a few of the problem decisions we have been trying to figure out the last few weeks. We met with a DJ from Portland who seems like a really cool guy who runs his own business and absolutely knows what he is doing. The question is, is it worth it to hire a DJ rather than doing music ourselves and playing an iPod? Well I really don't know the answer to that question. On one hand hiring a DJ will make everything flow much nicer, keep the party going, and be in charge of any announcements. On the other hand, is it really that big of a deal, and what about the cost?
The other decision that we are wallowing in is what colors to use. We started out with dark purple and green, but almost every wedding I've been to recently has used green and purple as their colors. Also, green is a really hard color to use because everything is either lime, apple, or forest which are not my cup of tea. So we changed the colors to dark purple and gray. I love it, but its kind of wintery and dark. So here we are stuck trying to think of a color that can match dark purple but not look like barbie or cotton candy.
Finally... flowers. My nemesis. I love flowers, I think they are very wonderful (except roses... I don't love those...), but I don't know anything about them except that they are way the heck more expensive than they ever should be. We have gone back and forth between tall centerpieces, low, alternating, fluffly flowers, streamlined lilies and back again. Who ever thought flowers could be so pretty and yet so evil?
Ah the petty problems of planning a wedding. Feel free to leave me any thoughts or suggestions!
