Questions we have to ask

1. What wedding processional songs (in and out) do we want? Traditional or modern? THOUGHTS: Traditional wedding processional in-modern processional song out.
2.  Do I want a double parent escort? Just my Dad?
3. Wording on the ceremony? THOUGHTS: We're having a civil ceremony-I think I want to use as long as we both shall live-more positive. Do we want to write our own vows?
4. For the groomsmen, vests and ties, vests, or cumberbunds? THOUGHTS: I think I have ruled out cummerbunds because they're too formal.  The girls are going to be in tea length because its on a boat and it will be summer and putting the men in cummerbunds is too formal. I'm thinking groomsmen in vests and Adam in a vest and tie.
5. Do we want a DJ or our own iPod mix?
6. Do we want just flower arrangements on the table or other decorations-chairs etc?

These are early on questions, this will be ongoing as we think of them. Just so when it comes time to make those decisions we have our thoughts laid out.

Oh I forgot....

Take a look at the venue :). Its the Willamette star.  The layout is just gorgeous and it has a nice bar and nice flow to it.

Let the planning begin

Met with the venue yesterday.  It went really well.  We got the contract in an email and the deposit money comes in next week. We're both super excited at the layout and the potential of our venue.  Adam is going to be wearing his class A uniform for the Gresham police dept which is navy blue. So I'm thinking two shades of blue-which seems like a lot of blue but with some trimmings of silver or gray really minor trimmings here and there. The venue provides white linens which will break it up a lot too.




I found a great pictures of wedding flowers for inspiration-I think it will pull the whole look together well and I think they're drop dead gorgeous!!
