From Start to Finish

Hello again!

Last week, I wrote to you about Brett and I's engagement story. And this week, the wedding planning began! We didn't start anything before we got engaged and since we want to get married next July we have to catch up a bit… We decided that the best way to start would be to create a vision of what we want our wedding to look like. And let me tell you, we got our fair share of inspiration this week! Brett and I's date night consisted of sitting on the floor with wedding magazines spread around us, our laptops open to the best wedding blogs, a notebook and a calculator (a very necessary tool when your budget really matters to you!). After a few hours, we finally got a solid idea of what we want our day to look and feel like. 

To put it in the simplest words… we decided that we wanted it to be reflection of us. After wrapping our head and hearts around what 'us' looked like in wedding form, we decided that our day would be romantic, sentimental and include our family and friends who have brought us to where we are today. We want guests to feel cozy and relaxed at our reception. They should drive home from the wedding late at night, tired from dancing, their faces sore from smiling and they should let out a big sigh as they soak up the romance of the whole day. They should feel refreshed and believe in love more than they did when they arrived. 

What does a cozy and romantic wedding like this look like? Here are some of our favourite pictures that capture those feelings.
