WEDnesday : how a bride {like me} stays oraganized & inspired

hello loves!!!
how are you on this fine WEDnesday?!

i thought i would share how i am {trying}
to stay organized & inspired to get pieces of our wedding planning accomplished.
let me just say it...i am a procrastinator
{a terrible curse! though i know i have it in me to break this spell...
well, you know, i procrastinate to do so...i am working on it, though!!!}
but i do believe this is partially because i truly have faith that all will work out as it should...
but, in wedding planning there is definitely a fine balance of that belief proving true
and making sure to keep to certain deadlines in booking important vendors.
so far, the balance seems right and all has been working out beautifully for us :)

here is a small glance at my current 'inspiration station' 
and a list {lists are key!!!} of the top 5 most important pieces we decided on for our event...


if you have been reading for a while, you have seen a lot of these pieces...this is me just throwing it all together to get a fresh daily perspective...i am very visual & touchy, feely - i have to keep materials, books, etc. available at my fingertips! {the layout & pieces change regularly} 
1/ cake plates... still in search of a few more vintage cake plates since we are having several single tiered cakes  
2/ texture, color, pattern - key elements throughout the overall aesthetic  
3/ save the date! this is the first time i have exposed these beauties designed {as in hand painted & screen-printed} by one of my most awesomely talented friends, tarah! i couldn't be happier with the final results...and can't wait to work on invitations with her! {p.s. see the white card w/ the ribbons attached...that is an official sneak peak at the beginning thoughts of the invites!}  
4/ that little chartreuse russell + hazel binder is what keep me organized in the prettiest way possible!  
5/ handmade weddings - key element to putting together your very own handmade wedding... thank you, tarah, for allowing me to borrow for soooooooo long!  


i truly feel like the luckiest bride...all of my visions are coming to life!!! 
it is incredibly exciting {to me, at least!} to see how the inspirations for an event unfold...
it becomes more & more real every day...
which makes me more & more excited!!!

what was / is...or what are you one day looking forward to as...your favorite part of the planning process?
i would love to know!!!

psst! thanks again to those who linked up in yesterdays blue & gold post! if you want to join in, the link up is open until 11:59pm on sunday... & if you want to join in next tuesday, join me in some orange crushing!!!

XO

As I'm relatively new to your blog I didn't realize you are planning a wedding- so exciting!! I got married in August. I'll have to share some of the photos from my wedding on my blog soon. It's been featured on a few blogs because of our amazing photographer. Love looking at what you're planning and what's most important for your wedding.

having 3 - 5 things that are most important to your wedding is great to have. but even more important is knowing who this wedding is for, you and your man. if you remember that, then the wedding will be perfect!
