Ideas For my Lovely Wedding!

It has been forever since i posted. i know this. i am offically halfway finished with my sophmore year of college (i'm finishing in winter 2012) and it just doesn't seem possible.
Seth and i have decided that we are waiting to get married until i graduate because i currently am having my school paid for my the air force GI bill. if we marry before i finish, then we will have to take out new loans and deal with lots of debt as newly weds. thats not exactly what i want to start a marriage with, so for now we are PLANNING! (which is much fun!)
 i love pictures so here are the ideas i have come up with thus far.

This is the inspiration board of my thoughts for what we will do color scheme and accesories-wise.

seth and i! he makes me so happy! :]

The dress that i want! find it here!

Our color scheme, Navy, and Apple Green, with accents that will include creams with touches of browns and whites and blacks.

i LOVE white and green bouquets, i will carry white with green accent flowers, and my lovely ladies will carry green with small white accent flowers. Thanks to theknot.com green flower ideas and advice!

love this for me!

I am planning on making my own cake toper, i work with polymer clay alot ( like these) , so i will love adding this personal touch.

i absolutly love the look of the birdcage veil for the reception, so the plan is to get a long veil for the ceromony and the fun short one for after the ceromony.

Seth and i are looking at different venues that fit our ideas for the southern wedding. this is a picture of Plantation Farms, in Byron GA. i think this is currently our top pic for our ceremony and venue.

I already have a wonderful photgrapher booked for our big day, she is amazing at what she does, and i just love her to pieces! her blog is super inspiring for those planning a wedding. Check Miss Rebecca out! She is just too cute!

well, im sure there will be much more wedding talk to come. i hope you enjoyed my ideas! I would love friendly advice as well! :}

SethAndBrittany are ENGAGED!

once again, im posting this sooooo long after my last post, but with the holidays ending, my lovely Seth coming to visit, and school getting started back up i really havnt been able to find time to post Seth and I's exciting news! Were engaged! 
sooooo heres the story.... enjoy!

"Being currently in a long distance relationship, Seth and I cherish every second we have together. One of our favorite things to do when we are together is to try new restaurants and food that we wouldn’t normally try. For New Years Eve we decided we would do something we both know we like, and celebrate being together by dressing up and having a romantic date night. Little did I know that Mr. Seth had bigger plans for the evening. We made our reservations for New Years Eve at my favorite restaurant, the Melting Pot, and anxiously awaited our special night out on the town.


When New Years Eve day come along we all had a great morning of sledding in the mountains with my brother, cousin, parents, and family friends. When we got home we both got ready for our date night and headed to the city. We were both so excited to be dressed up and have time alone that we didn’t even mind the traffic and cold. We got to the restaurant and everything was perfect, the weather even waited to start snowing until we got inside.

We were seated at a cozy, private corner booth near a large picturesque window looking out onto the city. The snow fell gently our entire meal and we both enjoyed our time just to be together. By the dessert course I excused myself to the ladies room while Seth stuck around to order our chocolate if the waiter came back.

When I returned to the table Seth was smiling from ear to ear and said to me “Well, this seems as good a time as ever.” My heart skipped a beat as he pulled a little box out of his pocket. He handed it to me, and inside of it was a small locket with the outside resembling angel’s wings. “Open it up!” he said excitedly, so I did. On the inside of the locket was a picture of us from our last visit together, and on the edges of the angels wings were the small cursive words “Will you marry me?” I was so surprised that I looked up at him to see if I was seeing things, and to my even further surprise he was on his knee at the edge of the booth, holding the prettiest little ring I’d ever seen. Then he took my hand and said, “Brittany Seidel, will you marry me?” Naturally I said “Yes! Of course!”

And the rest is history. Well sort of. And Seth and I couldn’t be happier to be engaged finally!"

and now some pictures!
