I love DAMASK!

So, I finally have committed to a theme of sorts for my wedding. Since I never really had a theme, just an underlying color scheme plus lemons, this is exciting! Anyways, I have always been drawn to this unique and beautiful black and white print that I never knew the name of. Well, I discovered on the internet it is called Damask, and it is POPULAR! Especially in weddings these days. I suppose it's trendy, and although I don't consider myself a trendy person, I really love this print. I was searching for it on eBay last night and they make everything in this print! And it comes in other colors, but the black and white is by far the most impactful.

Anyways, so I am going to try to incorporate damask in the elements of my wedding as much as I can, even though I am doing minimal decor. The design on my invitations can even be considered damask. It's everywhere and I found a lot of ideas and inspiration on the internet today.

Which is probably the best thing that has happened to me today in the wedding planning world. I went to Target today, again, to see if the save the dates had come in the match my other wedding stationary. They weren't there. And when I asked someone about them, the guy at the guest services desk told me that they probably won't have them again, that is something that they may not carry anymore. You need to know that he did not know what item specifically he was speaking about, he just said the that stationary part of the store would not be changing until Christmas, so whatever I was looking for that wasn't there, probably just wouldn't ever be. Now that was discouraging!!!

And, the other wedding chore I had today was to go by the reception location and drop of my deposit check, get some more information and to ask the guy in charge if I could take pictures. Well, I arrive, bummed out after my Target adventure, to find out that the guy had just left for lunch and wouldn't be back for about an hour. Also, I would not be able to take photos of the location because they were having some sort of class in the room. It was a wasted trip!

Oh well, I am going to spend the rest of the evening playing with this new tool I found while I was lost in Googleland. I always run into these collages of inspiration when looking at wedding ideas, and I always wished I could make them but never knew how. WELL, there is a website that lets you create your own for free!!! YAY!

So be looking for my wedding insiration collages coming soon!
