One Year!

Well, it's been a little over a year since we got engaged and boy does time fly! It's been amazing thus far and we're really excited for what the future holds. I feel like we've grown closer and patient with one another and I'm glad we decided to take things slow. I am also very pleased that my fiancé has been really involved in the wedding planning process. With that being said, on the day of our engagement anniversary, we made some very important decisions! Let the countdown begin! 

We finally have a plan and we couldn't be more relieved. Initially, we had so many vendors and locations to choose from - it was mind-boggling! We decided to keep things very simple. Less stress = more fun! At this time, I  would like to share some ideas we had prior to making our big decision. Click on the links in bold! Enjoy!

Wedding idea #1 

Yosemite National Park

Holy Moly! We've never been, but the pictures are simply breathtaking. We hope to wander to the West Coast very soon. Until then, take a peek at the Arroyos' websites to see the magic that can transpire on film. Tip: If you're planning on tying the knot in a state or national park, be sure to visit their corresponding websites for information on rental fees and permissible wedding locations.

Wedding idea #2

 Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park

Whenever I look at this image, I can't help but think of Bloom by The Paper KitesCan you imagine exchanging vows under some of the tallest trees in the world? I can!

Wedding Idea #3

Zion National Park

Canyons, and rivers, and caves! Oh my! Utah is home to these marvelous chunks of red rock that are just waiting to be explored...by you! There's nothing like having nature as the backdrop to your wedding. Can you tell there's a outdoor-sy theme in this post?

Wedding Idea #4 

Grand Teton National Park

                                      Katy Gray

 

While on vacation in Mexico, my fiancé and I met a man from Jackson Hole, WY and he couldn't stop gushing about the place. As soon as we returned to the states, I did some research and Whoa! How did I not know this place existed?! The photo above is located in Mormon Row/Moulton Barns, which brilliantly showcases the Teton mountain range.
