When To Wed?

{kit information here}

In my mind I've always been a spring bride. I was born in May, our anniversary is May 4, my parents were married April 3rd, I like it warm out (but not hot), and pastels are my most favorite colors. But the truth is, I don't know if we could pull off a wedding by next spring. An 8 month engagement? Not for this planning diva. I want all the time possible to explore every single option...type A anyone? That being said, I don't want to wait until 2011.

So now I'm exploring the option of late summer (August) or November. I won't get married in September because A) everybody does it and B) FSIL/FBIL SE got married in September. And October isn't really my thing because A) everybody does it. If we're looking at November, I'd definitely like to do it maybe the first weekend? Ugh...

I had thought of doing a summer wedding w/ a wedding indoors (church), cocktail hour outdoors, and reception inside. But it's just SO. HOT. HERE! And I would probably just cry if I saw those telltale black clouds coming in.

So for now, we'll continue to contemplate our date conundrum (or maybe it''ll just be me contemplating). I love the floral arrangement above because not only are the flowers cloth (they won't die!), but they'll fit with a spring, summer, or fall palette. I'm obsessed with dusty mauve, pink, grey, and ivory colors right now! What do you think about that?
