There is something so romantic about being outside under the cover of (elegantly lit) trees. It just adds a sense of intimacy to being out under the open sky. I love it.
{Once Wed}
One of the planners we met with described our wedding style as "very Anthropologie." I didn't see it before. It certainly fits our inspiration photos and what we see for our day.
More importantly, the description fits us.
Anthropologie is romance and vintage inspiration. The stores and the clothes just make me happy.
While in Florida we began our search for potential venues. Our criteria: romantic atmosphere, bay view, outdoor space. NO BALLROOMS.
One was incredible. The views were breathtaking. The space was grand. It wasn't us. We don't want the focus to be the venue itself - and it would be. Our vision includes candlelight and lace which would simply have a tough time competing with the elements of the space. We would need to be more dramatic - and that is not us. Plus the rental agreement was pretty inflexible and our time there would be extremely limited.
The second was romantic. The house was beautiful. It has the bay view that we wanted. It's just missing the trees that I love so much...
So what are our options?
Find a local farm that will be romantic and have trees? Catch is, we're not farm people. While the venue would be nice and may suit the vision - it says nothing about the two of us.
Go in a totally different direction?
A ballroom? ::gasp::
An industrial space? It fits our urban side - but traveling to Florida to pretend you're in a big city seems silly to me.
Golf course? Country Club? Another city/state/country? No. No. No.
So, though I don't like feeling like there is only one option, I think I know which way to go.
