Inspiration piece

Having done the dream wedding that I wanted, as far as colors, theme and entourage goes, it was a little bit more difficult to set my mind on what to do for the next one.

My first wedding was held in a studio in LA where we had the wedding webcast for friends and family in Manila to watch. Our plans had changed (several times) and we weren't going to have special friends and family with us at the wedding. The webcast was a compromise we decided to do, and it did great.

This time though, we're getting married in Church, in Manila, in front of close friends and family. My mom will be able to invite people she wanted to invite and have the kind of wedding she envisioned my wedding to be, I get to celebrate our fifth year anniversary with people I had always imagined to be in my wedding, AND my husband will be able to go diving after the wedding. :)

Still, thinking about the theme and motif for the wedding took a lot of time and effort. I had no idea what I wanted to do...until I saw a picture of a reception in a wedding magazine. It was a wedding picture I had seen 4 1/2 years ago while searching through wedding magazines and I had thought the concept was cool - but I already had my idea. Now, this was the perfect next choice. I love it because of the colors and the atmosphere it presented. Now, if I could only make it work.

Starting out....

I've been in the process of preparing our renewal of vows next year and thought that it was all going to be a simple thing. I've done it before, I'm sure I can do it again.

I've forgotten how much work and effort planning for a wedding required. Add to that the fact that I'm in the US and we're planning the wedding in Manila. Oh joy. So, here I am, wife, mother of two and full time paraplanner and planning for a wedding in the wedding capital of the world. :)

Talk about busy...
