I know I've got a long time before walking down the aisle but I wanted to start a journal to keep all my ideas in one place. And after a weekend with my parents we finally have a couple of things finalized.

My parents are renovating the backyard of the house I grew up in. It sits on about 3/4 of an acre of land. For you non-country folk that's a little less than a square city block. So it's plenty big enough for the small informal ceremony and reception we wanted. We didn't even have to ask. They offered it to us as we were helping them do some yard work this past weekend.

In the background you can see the White Moutains including Mt. Washington. I really love the natural beauty of the area. :D

The best part is they are going to plant flowers and design things that not only compliment the natural beauty of the area, but also our color scheme (chocolate brown and raspberry pink). I'm super excited. Ill try to post some before pictures soon.

My first real wedding planning with Andy! It is only an inspiration board, but that was a huge step for FH to actually voice his opinions. We sat down last weekend and really looked at pictures we liked and made a wish list and a reality list... Our colors are chocolate brown, raspberry, & blush pink and our theme is gerbera (sp) daisies, my fav flower. Our ceremony and reception will be in my parents backyard in northern NH, Aug 2010! Please let me know what you think.... Thanks in advance :) http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn265/melanierose83/weddinginspiration.jpg

Hey! and welcome!

Pink and brown seem to be the "in" colors right now, so I bet you'll find LOTS of inspiration around here!! And I'm betting you can REALLY play those colors up out in your parents backyard!

Good luck with everything and keep us posted :)
