September 2012 Weddings

Hello September! Farewell October!

Hello September Brides! Due to unforeseen situations, FI and I have moved our wedding from October 6th to September 29th. So now I am a September bride. FI and I are getting married in Lafayette, IN. I am currently a Purdue student, and FI is a recent Purdue graduate. Our families are from opposite ends of the state, so meeting halfway between makes sense to us. Plus we met at Purdue and have spent our entire relationship here. 

Wedding info: We are inviting ~150 people, but with half being OOT we aren't sure how many will RSVP. The ceremony, at 3:30, is at our church in downtown Lafayette. The cocktail hour and dinner reception will be held at our favorite restaurant, just 4 blocks away from the church. Our colors are navy, fuscia and silver. Our theme (if you want to call it that) is twisted tradition. We are paying respect to traditional wedding elements, but are putting our own spin on things and doing them a bit differently. 

BP and Attire: I have my dress (click). I am replacing the flower with a beaded sash. The veil is a single layer, mid-back length with beading all the way around. I love bling but don't want to be gaudy (not a Gypsy bridal or toddle beauty queen). FI and I have 4 attendants each. My girls are in navy dresses above the knee, all from David's. The dresses are all different becuase my girls all have different body types. The can chose any sort of pink or nude shoe. If they want jewelery, I only ask that it is pink or silver. I'm so not into being all matchy. FI chose a black-on-black pinstripe tux for him and the guys. FI will have ivory tie and vest, and the GM will have silver.

That's about all we know at the moment. I look forward to getting to know all of you and share this wedding adventure with you!
Love and Blessings

    Welcome and congrats on getting to move it up! FI & I aren't Purdue grads but we are both grads from the same college and will be incorporating our scool. Glad to have you here!
  • Welcome to the board, everything sounds great! I am the same way with my bridesmaids! I got custom made dresses for them really cheap (my sister is a fashion designer, so they are wearing her original designs), and each girl got to help design her own dress, so none are they same. I said any type of black shoe, and for jewellery stick to black/red/silver/white. I know what one girl is doing for jewellery so far, she showed me, and another one showed me her shoes... lol

    Look around and get involved, that's the best thing about this board :) Our current siggy is Honeymoons. We have a facebook group, a fitness/nutrition accountability group, daily posts... if you have any questions, I don't promise to have the answers but I'll try my best to find them :)

  • Welcome to September!!!

  • Congrats! :) Bet you're happy to be getting married just a little bit sooner! I know I would be (esp. since it isn't so much earlier that it messes with the planning too much)! 

    Fi was born & raised in Lafayette, and he and all his brothers are Purdue alums (and his dad is still a professor there)! The one time I've been to visit was right at the end of September, it was such a pretty time- still fairly warm, pretty leaves, etc.

  • Welcome to the board from a fellow Purdue alum!!! When I started reading this I thought my DD was playing a joke, you and your FI could be my DD& her FI. They also met at school  (BSU) and DD just graduated last year (working on Masters now!) her FI will graduate this Sat!! They are getting married in Muncie the week before you on the 22nd.
  • Welcome date twin.
