Lights and Love: Nighttime Inspiration

November 28, 2011

Before I get in to all the details that everyone always asks about like the venue, the dress, colors…and my obnoxiously overzealous list of potential DIY projects, I want you to get a feel for the atmosphere I’m aiming for (I’ve been told I’m a big picture person…so here goes all of my big picture thoughts).

For me, flowers aren’t incredibly important (especially because my wedding will be at night…who can see flowers at night anyways?). So my focus for the wedding is on creating a dreamy atmosphere with candles…lots and LOTS of candles.

P.S. My ultimate wedding dream would be to release TONS of floating candle lanterns…thanks Texas for your constant state of extreme drought. I guess I’ll have to settle for floating candles in the pool.

Do you have and neat nighttime inspiration? 

Clockwise from top left: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

P.S. The floating luminaries above (number eight), I bought a few of them and somewhere near 100 paper lanterns…these are the best deal, a TON of votives and instead of pillar candles (which are CRAZY expensive), I bought these.
