Who needs to pay a professional photographer when you’ve got Photobooth on your Mac?

I think we got a little carried away last night, but I can’t decide if I should use these for our Save The Dates or on the fridge door as a thinspiration.

I’ve been trying to stay away from all the wedding-related sites unless it’s to look at pretty pictures, because we’re still having a hard time coming to terms with spending such a huge amount of money for a single day.

Then I saw these DIY centerpieces that are eco-friendly, beautiful, unique and DELICIOUS: centerpieces made up of bread and potted herbs, offering guests something to munch on with yummy dips without the expense of stupid flowers that are going to die anyway. How yummy does that look? I LOVE BREAD. The only thing that’s missing from the table is a small sculpture made out of butter.

Then I got to thinking…why can’t more wedding things be edible? Rice paper tableclothes and personalized fruit roll-up favors? A wedding dress made out of cream puffs?

YUMMM…Regardless, I think these centerpieces look super awesome. We could get married in a dirty tent underneath the 101 freeway, but I’m still putting this on the table.

Thinking about weddings and getting hitched without trying to fall into the wedding planning hell of picking themes (dinosaurs), colors (yellow?), locations (Sonoma?), flowers (ranunculus) is very, very difficult. Not only is the entire industry trying to suck you in with such beautiful photography and centerpieces, but I also have ADD when it comes to looking at things online. Like, OOOH PRETTY PICTURES *click* OOOHHH NICE SHOES *click* OOH SHOES *click* I NEED NEW SHOES, etc until I realize that I’m thinking about stuff to buy for myself and not necessarily plan some event in my life.

Keep in mind that we don’t even have a date (We’re sticking to seasons for now. It makes things easier. We only have four choices.) or a place or even an invite list–but all I want to do is stare at pretty white dresses–which leads to looking at non-traditional pretty white dresses–which takes me to pretty white bridesmaid dresses, which then becomes pretty bridesmaid dresses and finally pretty dresses…until I have to remind myself that I’m not a bridesmaid or maid of honor like last time. Ooops.

For instance, take this dress I’ve been seeing all over the place on Etsy, above by a designer named Holly Stalder. ME WANT RIGHT NOW! IN YELLOW ONLY!!!

Why can’t someone ELSE get married so I can be a bridesmaid and wear these dresses??? WHY!!?
