Being engaged sparked another flame in me and I gained a new love.
Just like any Bride-to-be, I became fixated on wedding planning. Unlike most Brides-to-be, I had to push the envelope by figuring out how many wedding details I could cram into bins, to then stuff in our car, to then drive 6 hours to our venue, all the while our knees are jammed into the dash...oh, Linda...
My free time was consumed in centerpiece contemplations and extravagant earring searches. I deemed Etsy my new, inspiring best friend.
My wedding was two weeks ago.
I don't want to have to pry myself off the many beautiful wedding blogs and I'm simply not willing to unsubscribe from my seemingly endless number of wedding-related email newsletters (Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, Brides.com, Junebug Weddings, just to name a few).
You get the point. I'm just a liiiittle overly committed...enveloped, you might say.
Now for my real obsession: I have this fascination with the exotic.
Exotic everything.
I love paradise, but who doesn't?! Ok, so perhaps I love paradise more than the average cat.
My eye is naturally drawn to any and everything that emanates a bohemian vibe.
Definition of bohemian: a person, as an artist or writer, who lives and acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices....ahh ::sigh::, I love the sound of that...
A few of the many things I'll be rampantly posting that never fail to catch my eye:
Tropical Flowers
Bright Colors
Ridiculously large earrings
East Indian Garb
Long Locks
Headbands
Gladiator Sandals
Turquoise Jewelry
Braids
and
anything that oozes Asian, South American or African culture
I have a deep love and appreciation for the many cultures across the world, especially those most unlike my own. I believe this passion is the inspiration behind the style I find myself adoring over and over again.
Within this blog, I want my love for wedding design to marry (pun intended) my adoration for worldly beauty.
Here was my best attempt at encompassing a gypsy bride:
