I have a new obsession now. I really, REALLY want to have flower petals lining the aisle when I walk down it. Unfortunately, the amount of petals I need for the effect I want is really, REALLY expensive! Logically, there's really no need for them. After all, we're getting married in an outdoor garden, where there are flowers and grass and trees and the scenery is beautiful all by itself. Do I really, really NEED the flower petals? The answer is, of course not, but I want them!
The flower petals are not the only things I want, but really don't need. For instance, an underskirt. Now, if I do wear one, it will be one I made myself. They're pretty easy to make so I'm not worried, but it's still money and resources spent on something that I don't really need. After all, my dress already has some layers of tulle sewn into the skirt. I really don't need that extra poof, but I WANT it. Lol!
Another item that I've already decided to cut out, but still crave are favors. In the weddings I've attended, I really don't miss them if they're missing, nor do I go gaga over them when I do get them. Most of the ones I've received have been tossed into a dark corner on a shelf, gathering dust. They really aren't necessary, and if your guests have a good time, they won't be missed either. However, I still feel that it's a nice touch if your guests can take something home. If I had the money to give my guests something extra nice and special that they would appreciate, I would totally get favors. Given the choice of giving my guests some cheap, crappy favors or spending a bit more on the heart of the event (like getting a good officiant to marry us), I think I'll go with the latter. After all, the wedding isn't about the favors or the gifts or the flowers. A wedding is about getting married!!!
