No, the Wisconsin weather is certainly not forecasting Spring of any sort this year (it snowed yesterday!), but weddings are in full swing and my desk is swimming with folders of summer weddings that are coming up in just a few short months.
Today was that day that I can practically predict every year. A light bulb moment occurs that there are ONLY 60 days until the summer weddings officially begin and oh my gosh, I have so much to do, and oh my gosh, I haven't emailed my June brides yet, and oh my gosh, where is that July bride's folder and so forth. So, I took that annual walk into my office, sat down at my desk, looked at the mess, and promptly walked away. :) It will be there tomorrow too.
I did a wedding recently that may have been one of the boldest and brightest that I have ever done. I'm typically the wedding planner that loooooves subdued colors, black & white classic elegance, an array of tans/ecru/khaki with a punch of color and not usually the one that loves big bright colors that much. But...this bride did BRIGHT SO RIGHT! I have to upload pictures yet, but when I do you'll most likely agree that the only way to bring together mango, pink, golden/orange tones and an accent of charcoal is the way she did it. It screamed Spring which is what I liked about it, but it also was just so full of fun and had a "let's party" vibe to it.
I opted to not take on any weddings this May, which is unfortunate since it's such a great month to do weddings in. However, May has become a busy month now with very few weekends available to fill with weddings. Last year, I managed to still take on two weddings during May - I promptly came home from that last May wedding and marked my calendar as "busy" for May 2011. I'm good at balancing, but not that good.
Congrats to the Spring Brides!
