{wedding wednesday} it's all in the details.

happy wednesday! with the holidays behind us and as we approach the 5 month mark to the wedding, it is now all about the details.  in all the wedding blogs i have read, and all the wedding magazine i have bought, i feel that what really brings a wedding to life are those special wedding details.

sadly, those details which i love to pine over in wedding photographs are what i have heard drive even the sanest bride crazy. it is the effortlessness and ease of each detail that creates that sets the overall feeling for your guests.

i know some people will completely disagree with my opinion, i have also read in countless magazines, that these are the details only you notice and that many guests over look and never remember. in the planning process i think it is important for you and your fiance to decide for yourselves if these little details are worth loosing sleepover.

to me who gets caught up on details in my daily life ever second of my day, it is only natural that these are the details that will fill the next few months. (matt on the other hand is not loosing sleep over the details and have allowed me to take on that responsibility)

so you are probably wondering, some of the special details i have been pining away over recently...

hair- if you follow me on pinterest you saw this one coming. i have been pining every wedding hair style imaginable and still have no clue if i will wear my all up, half up or down.

what else is floating through my head?

ideas for welcome bags- the look, contents, special goodies in the bags (or do we want totes or boxes...??)

guest books- who knew there were so many cool ideas out there? we are leaning on going more traditional

but it is hard not to swoon over so many whimsical ideas

i could probably go on and on and your head would probably be spinning (like mine) so i will spare you. 

so i will end with this- these are the final details that i feel really speak to who you are as a couple. which is why to me they are the little details that say so much. though we have been so lucky to have been able to take our time and pick the best vendors we could get (more on them next week) these little details are our way to put our stamp on the day. 

though i have decided to limit how much i will share with readers before the wedding, i will keep you updated as i check things off our list, and continue to share inspiration along the way.
