The Daily Hunt

A couple weeks ago I received my Save the Date for Andrew and Juliana's wedding, and I have done just that.  It is a very handsome picture of the two, and the wear and tear from our good US Postal Service gives it a nice vintage feel.  Cheers to the happy couple!

Other bits of planning for the big day have been happening as well.  Mom booked our accommodations for the weekend at a lovely little house in East Nashville called The Hobbit House.  It's close to all the action, has three bedrooms so we won't get cramped, and is called The Hobbit House!  How could it not be perfect?!

Juliana has also sent out invites to her ladies in waiting.  She did not want to have bridesmaids but she did want some of her good girl friends to come down a couple days early for a little girls getaway and then all get ready together the day of.  One is a friend from college, three from middle school and high school, one all the way back from pre school, and then as future sister in law, I'm on the list too! Should be a fun few days getting to know the girls.

Another thing Juliana wants us to do is all wear green for the wedding.  She wants to have lots of greenery and plants for decoration instead of the more traditional, flower option, so green is a good choice.  She mentioned it being more along the earth-tone line, but I immediately thought a minty, pale sage green would be pretty, or on the other end of the spectrum, jewel-tone emerald.  She said it was pretty much up to us, and even though the wedding is still seven or so months away, why not do a little research?

I like these ones that have a subtle, lace element to them.  Green is a very nature-y color in itself, but I like that these dresses play that up a bit.  They're delicate and detailed, but don't draw too much attention to themselves.

I also like these ones that have a bit of color to go along with the green background.  The floral elements make them a little more casual, but also more fitting for summer.  These don't really have a "bridesmaid dress" feel, which an all-green dress might.

What do you all think?  Since it is October, it's not the best season to be looking for a summer dress, but it is fun to start looking and thinking about it.
