I read online some where that to have the perfect wedding, imagine perfect scenario in your head then try to recreate that. I’ve also heard that one is supposed to “be true” to yourself and your wedding.
The problem with these suggestions are that I have multiple ideas that I would be happy with.
Idea 1 — married in a flower field. I would love to have either an aqua trimmed dress or a pink trimmed dress. Very simple and pretty and romantic. This would cause the least trouble, and I would enjoy it just as much as my other themes.
Idea 2 — Married on a beach. Mine and my b/fs relationship have had a lot of water and beach motifs so I figured it’d be nice to go to the beach. However, we live inland, so this would be a destination wedding. That causes trouble with the families. My Aunt would throw a fly because she would say I picked the location so she couldn’t come, among other inconveniences. Plus, i have no idea where to start in a destination wedding.
Idea 3 — Rocker wedding. I’ve always been a bit of a punk rocker and it’s always been a dream of mine to live a little on the wild side, even if it is for just one night. I can see some winged eyeliner and a crazy dress.
Can someone help me sort out these very different ideas?

I think you need to sort out which idea is the most realistic and go with that. First, work out budgets for each option. If one is out of your price range, then cut it. Also consider your family (and future in-laws) would saw about the options. If his family is going to be spooked by a rocker wedding, then think twice.
You just need to decide what works best for you and your relationship with your fiance and your family.
Imagine this:
20, 30, 50 years from now, what do you want to look back and see? What do you want to describe to your children as you show them your wedding photos?
I would personally choose #1, only because for the sake of you and your guests, I think it would be the most fun.
My hubby and I had wanted a destination wedding sooo badly, only about half of our ‘must have’ guests could afford it though.
Do something that will bring everyone together for a good, memorable time. Or, have a traditional… #1 style wedding, then mix it up with a little bit of a rocker reception. A lot of people are doing the 2 wedding dress thing – one for wedding, one for reception. Might be kind of fun with both of your ideas.
Above all, just make sure that your day is not too complicated.. the more time you have with your guests the better. The whole day will go by in what feels to be about 20 minutes, no matter what you do. :]
Good Luck! and Congratulations!!
What does your finace say? He may have ideas of his own. I didn’t really care where we got married, but my fiance really wanted to go away with our families and friends, so a destination wedding it is. This was easier with my family because we’re scattered all over the country, so everyone would be travelling anyway.
beach is a good idea but its way too public unless u reserve a private beCH JUST RESERVE IR DO THE OTHER

They are all good. You need to pick one that is the best for you. For my wedding I am getting married at a park. There is one in here in Oklahoma. There is a lake near it that have swans in it and there are pretty little flowers. I fill like it is the perfect spot for a wedding. The 1 Idea sounds very pretty. I will tell you this it is your wedding. Do it how you what it is your wedding.
I think you’ll have the best memories if you pick the easiest thing out of the ones you like. It’s easier for you, it’s easier for your guests (big consideration), it will cause you less stress and fights and money, etc.
I have two philosophies about weddings: it’s not a magic spell, where you get everything perfect and you have a perfect life. Sometimes it seems like the more fuss people make about a wedding, the worse the marriage is! So don’t make “perfect” a goal – you’ll just sweat over trying to make it happen, and it won’t anyway!
Second, the best kind of wedding is the one that will give you, your family and your friends the best memories. I’d proceed with that as my goal, and simple is what I’d favor for that reason.
You’re punk rock idea sounds like a good party idea, but I’d save it for another time.
I love the flower field idea. It sounds pretty and romantic. My sister got married on the beach and I cried for 3 days because I couldn’t go because of work. We also live inland way inland!! You should pick something that you can look back on and be happy with. Live adventurously on another day not your wedding.
You and your fiance should sit down and make a list of the things that are most important to you both. If it’s really important that you live out your rocker dream for one night, then do it. If you just want a beautiful, but simple day, then do your flower field thing, if you really just want to limit the guest list, then have the beach wedding in hawaii or the carribean.
It’s hard to narrow things down, but once you make your decisions, don’t second guess yourself. it will only drive you crazy. Plus, people are ultimately coming to see you on your happy day, they will love it no matter what.
i think the rocker wedding sounds fun buut talk it over with you fiance and see what he wants to do aswell. But the rocker one is awesome sounding
