Location, Location, Location

Location is most likely the element that many newly engaged couples seek out first. As venues usually book a year or two in advance, it's vital to really get talking about what the both of you envision. For my BFF* and I, we were pretty much hands down sets on having an outdoor wedding.

Seeing as neither of us have a large enough backyard to land a tent in, our options were rather limited. Luckily my grandparents live on an estate and the owner willingly obliged to letting us have our wedding there! Talk about being totally blessed. So now that the location is nailed down, the other large items can be slowly checked off the "I do" list.

Plus there are plenty of mature trees.

A beautiful wood fence, oh the creative potential available!

A lovely lone willow. The plans we have for that tree!
