This is helovesme's Black Wedding!

Hello everyone! I stumbled onto this website this morning and have been so inspired and excited! I love the concept!!

Well, not too long ago my boyfriend of four years proposed, finally! : ) He proposed February 9th! And of course, I am already planning.

I'm excited because I have so many things rolling through my mind and I love the fact that I can get other peoples HONEST opinions. I have yet to find a venue and I know this is one of the most important things that I need to do. Finding one that is reasonable on cost seems to be my biggest hurdle.

The second thing I am struggling with is colors. I know that no matter what I want a damask pattern, I love it! I have always loved the black and white pattern. I thought about having just a black and white wedding; simple, clean, elegant... But most of my friends and family are telling me that I need to have an accent color. Do I really?!? If so, does anyone have any suggestions?

I am really looking forward to using this site! I have 18 months to my wedding and it may seem like a long time, but it will be over before I know it!!!!
