David's family was in town this weekend and we got a chance to take everyone out to our wedding venue and look around. His mom seemed pleased with our 'summer morning garden wedding.' And suddenly I realized, OHHHH, we're doing a summer garden wedding. Right! This is a done thing! Even though Saturday night formal weddings are all the rage right now, tons of people have done morning garden weddings throughout the ages, so I have a wealth of images to draw on. And then it hit me, everything we really like goes perfectly with this. I don't want a big poofy ballgown dress with a train, David doesn't want a tux, we do want lots of fresh flowers, we want lots of sunlight and cheer, and we don't want to spend a fortune. The gods were smiling on us when they gave us this time slot! It's beshert!So, in light of my brand new revelations, I'm posting a picture of a short and simple wedding dress that I love from Martha Stewart Weddings. I love the mid length length veil, the light pink flowers, and the sassy blue shoes. I haven't decided if I want a simple long lace dress (sans train) or a simple short satin dress, but both are perfect for a garden wedding.

It sounds so airy, bright and lovely. I think you've picked the perfect venue for it! Love the sassy blue shoes, pink flowers, etc... now you just need the zippy vintage sports car to go with. Fun!
Sounds like a dream to me - I am so excited for you guys!
You know who has some really tasteful, inexpensive dresses these days? J. Crew. Saw some that are perfect for a spring or summer morning.
