everyone loves a mood board part 2

After my first attempt at being inspiring, I thought I should try focusing myself on a particular aspect of the wedding.

I started with the flowers since I'm pretty sure of those: pink peonies. Natch.

The super convenient part of this is being able to send it to the florist. I haven't even hired one yet, but since I'm planning at a distance, my little flower board might just be a great tool for explaining what I want.

This is indeed a blog about my wedding.

I live in DC, but I'm planning a June 2010 wedding in Indiana. I'll be making some sad attempts at DIY, among other things.

I've hired the important vendors and I have a dress (it's lovely!). But there's still much much much to do in the next 10 months.
