On to the wedding!

So...as many girls could admit, I've been collecting ideas throughout my life that I'd love to apply to my upcoming wedding. The one that stands out to me the most is the idea I discovered while I was a banquet server at Marie Callender's at Pismo Beach: leaving disposable cameras on each table and leaving it up to your guests to snap as many photos as possible. I can't imagine how hilarious and enjoyable it must be to look through the developed results!

However, the most important detail hasn't ever been much of a thought to me, until now - what kind of dress would I like?

My fiancé is Greek, and i just so happen to love Greek styles so...why not a Grecian (maybe goddess) style? I love this idea!!

I definitely need white. I thought off-white could be fairly pretty but...not with a Grecian dress - although I'd be open to ideas if anyone has any.

So...my current idea is this top:

With a fuller skirt, maybe a train. I love the style of the neckline and bodice! But should I really do custom? It's an awesome idea but...I don't want to rack the price of this whole thing up too much...I REALLY love a lot of the designs from the famed wedding dress designer Vera Wang (I'd have one of her dresses in a second) but...reasonable? I don't yet know.

Or this idea from Etsy (although the back seems a bit cheap to me):


These are just ideas at this point, but I'm definitely leaning towards the Grecian design! I heard it's a bit common, but screw it...I'll make it something better :)

I found two great sources for wedding planning:
Martha Stewart Weddings and Wedding Aces. Both great sites!

A friend of mine since elementary school (although I lost contact with her after high school) is an amazing violinist who has played with the SLO Youth Symphony for quite some time and now has her own studio in Colorado. She is also a thought...she plays at weddings! What a cool idea...she can be found at www.mockupstudios.com.

We've also thought of honeymooning it in Hawaii....YESS!!! It's only been...how many years since...oh wait, NEVER have I been there, and always wanted to go!
