Wednesday's Wedding Poll

As you know, Chris and I are getting married in the Spring. This season worked out best for us based on the time we got engaged, which was the summer of 2009. We knew we wanted a longer engagement but really, not longer than two years. That meant either a Fall 2010 wedding which was a little too soon, or a Spring 2011 wedding. Sometimes, throughout my planning, I wondered if we should have gone with Fall. Like when I discovered my love for anemones and kale, but found out they were seasonal in the Fall. Or, as we were attending some of the amazing Fall weddings we went to this year. I feel like with the typical Fall icons (apples, pumpkins, apple cider, leaves, burnt orange) you can really get creative playing up the season.

But in the end, we chose Spring, and I can't be anything but happy with this time of year. I'm excited for gorgeous bright flowers, birds chirping outside, beautiful green grass, and our guests totally ready and refreshed for a party after hibernating all winter. You really can't go wrong with any time of year, each season offers its  own pros and cons. I read this on another blog yesterday: "What should I do if it rains? Smile...and hope there's a rainbow!"

What season did/will you get married in? What made you choose this time of year?
Or, What season do you want to get married in if you're not engaged (that one's for you Kate!)

Scarf Swap!

I recently participated in a scarf swap arranged by the blogs Hello Miss Chelsea and Our Journey from Iraq to the Altar.

I was paired with Melissa who blogs at The Best is Yet to Come. She just so happens to be getting married a few weeks before me on April 30th in Atlanta, Georgia! It's great to meet another fellow Spring 2011 bride and I can't wait to follow her blog as she counts down to the big day.

Melissa sent me a scarf with my wedding colors!! I love it and can't wait to sport this around all Fall and even next Spring!

I was in the process of switching out my summer clothes with winter clothes..so forgive the mess of a room that is behind me!

Thanks so much Melissa! And don't forget to follow her at The Best is Yet to Come...Thoughts From a Dramatic Yet Sane City Girl turned Wife!
