Circle of Indecisiveness

One of the side effects associated with wedding blog obsession is indecisiveness and I am developing a severe case of it. A long time ago I was flipping through a wedding magazine at the beauty parlor and saw photos of a black and white wedding. The idea of bridesmaids wearing black immediately hit me as strange but elegant - I liked it! Art quickly put the kibosh on my idea until a family friend, who is in the catering business, mentioned how her favorite weddings are black and white because they look so clean and elegant. Poof - back to black and white we were! I mean - common, how pretty is this…

But then I see things like this…

And then I start thinking about how I want to tie Sweetest Day into my wedding with candy and chocolate and all kinds of sweet goodness! How do I do that with a black and white color palate? Licorice? Yuck! Wouldn’t chocolate and cream be better for Sweetest Day? But then again, isn’t chocolate (as a color) so over done already? Who wants to be unoriginal?

So if I can’t do chocolate and I’m in love with black and white then why don’t I just add a nice accent color? OK then , what color? Red? But black, white and red are over done too and on top of that, we went to a black, white and red wedding this past summer. We can’t repeat!

When I get to this point in the never ending circle of frustration and indecisiveness I think - screw it! I’ll just get white chocolate everything and that’s it - forgetting for a moment that I really don’t like white chocolate!! This is when I give up, decide I need to read more blogs, and I find this…
