Quick Little Update/Mini Rant: 

 

So-- I'm really starting to feel like things are coming together. Our quote expires tomorrow and our wedding planner is just getting together an 8 & 10 day quote for John and I so for a little "mini-moon". We've spoken to most of our family and mentioned our plans and they all seem super excited even with the trip costing so much (approx. $2300 from Vancouver, LOVE YOU ALL!)-- minus my MOH/older sister (married 2 years ago, just bought a new house, with a baby on the way). I can only imagine that she must be stressed as well but she's expressed that she might not be able to come down for the 7 days, worried about her vacation time/mat leave, asking if we can get married on the Sunday or later in the week instead, thinks that guests won't want to stay for the full 7 days (...because she can't) and etc...

 

I'm honestly not worrying about this at all, and approaching this with the "it is what it is" attitude. I'm sure she will make it down either way even if it's a shortened trip... But at the end of the day, you can't please everyone! So we're just going to move forward with our original plans and what John and I had planned for everyone in the first place. As disappointing as it is to be getting so much push back from my sister. Our wedding is our special day and something that we're putting 1000000% of our efforts into making the best week for all of our guests.

 

Remember ladies-- this is YOUR day. #dontstress #cantpleaseeveryone lol

Oh I'm so sorry you're already experiencing this so early in your planning. I admire your positive attitude. We've all been there and unfortunately you can't please everyone. But that's the thing ppl don't get, you don't have to please them, it's your wedding day, not theirs. I get where your sister is coming from with all the new expenses in her life but you guys are giving ample notice for ppl to save! Hope it all works out for you

Sorry you are already going thru the trials and tribulations of destination wedding planning!

 

Shawn's dad dug his heals in HARD and we stood our ground.  Good for you to do that as well, as hard as it much be with it being your sister.      You will find that people will ask you to change your plans, so you do, then they back out.  Went thru a lot of that before we set the date.   You can only do so much, so keep your head up!

Image heavy Update!

 

So I've started creating mood boards to outline the look/feel that I'm going for-- just thought I'd share them below

 

Colour scheme: pink/nudes/blush tones with navy accent

I don't plan on using the navy as heavily as it is here in the image, but just as a slight accent for contrast

 

Ceremony decor: 

 

Bride/Groom attire:

 

Flowers:

 

Reception Vibes:

 

Reception table decor:

 

I'll continue to update as I go along on how I'm actually going to make this stuff happen haha, but for now-- this is what I am working and aiming towards. It's more of a rustic/garden type feel. Hopefully all the decor will work cohesively together!

I love your colour palette, very romantic. I've always loved navy with pink and it will look so beautiful, especially with the different hues of nudes and blush.
