Weddings and Blogs
Happy Monday morning! I apologize that I don't have an inspiration board to share with you today - I haven't been feeling super inspired by pretty pictures for the past couple of weeks, so I keep starting inspiration boards and then getting bored with them. Inspiration boreds. (Sorry, sorry!)

Part of it might be that my honey and I are in the midst of our own wedding planning (Yes! We've set a date and picked a place and everything! Well, not everything, but you know - we're on our way.), so that's sort of dominating the wedding part of my brain, which is interesting when I sit down to create a blog post, because it's not all pretty details and inspired ideas. It's the budget and guest list and vendor decisions and what I guess you could call the bones of a wedding. It's trying to hear 8 million opinions graciously and without heading straight to Crazytown (I get about a C-minus in that area; hoping to bring it up to at least a B). And I'm just not so sure about putting all of that on Snippet & Ink.
Thinking about my own wedding can make blogging a little tricky, and being a wedding blogger has shaped my planning process. In lots of ways it's been amazing (I've made some really wonderful friends who have been such incredible resources and so supportive) and in other ways it's been overwhelming (I have so many ideas, yet nothing seems original because every clever wedding idea anyone ever had has been posted on a blog somewhere and then re-blogged a hundred times over). There's also this thing where everyone seems to think that because I blog about weddings, I should know exactly what I want my wedding to be. (People. I've been engaged since last May. Between then and August we changed the date twice, at three different venues, in two different states. And then we put things on hold. Does that sound like a person who knows exactly what she wants for her wedding?)
So, that's kind of where my brain is (at least, one of a few places). I'll be back with inspiration boards just as soon as possible, but in the meantime, I hope you'll share some of your thoughts here in the comments - what's inspiring you, or how's your planning going, or anything else you feel like chatting about.
