things on my wedding pin board that don’t make sense but do
it's bride-giving
pine green/75 degree aqua water post-splash ripples because that’s probably what it’d look like if I jumped off the dock in my wedding whites
A (Ionic? Art History minor, come back to me babe) Greek column because our love feels old, in a specially crystal or soft-carved stone antique type of way - but not precious; strong. something to be built upon
A perfume bottle because there’s nothing I love more than an obscure scent that reminds me of a favorite Time of Life. what should I choose as my first half day with a husband scent? you know I already have a list going…
Clouds with whiffs of purple because it takes pink to make those colors and they don’t often scheme of rain
geese in flight because it feels like i’m migrating Home
the hand cream I used just now (it just looks so bridal to me and is called The World Is Your Oyster Hand Cream and that’s how I feel with him)
a stoneware bowl filled with olives, a couple rogue peppers and some blocks of cheese (because this is a lot like a favorite appetizer order of ours at Sally and it’s exactly what I’d serve our wedding guests if they didn’t mind. with some crusty sourdough and fruits and oysters and filthy martinis, rose or orange wine & bees knees-es)
Stoneware platter in a naturally-formed, seaside shape with splatter (my favorite pattern on this spinning earth) because well I threw it on our registry
Little flower cake pan because what if everyone had a mini wedding cake? I’ll start my scratch recipe now.
lemon slice donned ice cubes because these are the types of details that I love. woven in life, bright colors & light, fruit shapes, and anything slightly citrusy
a weathered pot because I’m collecting many for this event and all the ones that will come after
pretty, princess-y little mesh ballet flats because I got some for fresh-wifed dancin’
a splatter ice cream dish because what if we served these alongside our little flower cakes????
Heels that feel a lil fish-scaley because duh, lake wedding!!!! and they feel a little Mamma Mia which is a free-loving excitement that i’m welcoming hard
A watercolor landscape because they make my knees buckle and eyes water and it’d be cool if I can escape my reception to do a quick little scene
necklaces because it’s how I want my bridesmaids to remember that day + jewelry makes my heart sing (especially if there’s color)
fruit playing cards because this part of my life is feeling like a sweet game (and if I were having a seating chart of sorts, i’d use those somehow)
this New Yorker cover because that’s how I want the week before to feel (multiple rainbows included)
this Love is A Great Adventure shirt because what if Jake and I matched? it is, after all, the best one i’ve been on and continues to surprise me hourly
some chic as fuck girl that has 0 cares in the world and definitely a fabulous haircare routine which is what i’m aiming for for the foreseeable future
.
.
cheers! i’ll be altar-ing in T-6.5 months.
shit Jake, we need to pick out wedding bands
LOL! (lots of love, per my paternal grandmother) - abby
