Style (Original 7/26)

So spent time while at work looking at all kinds of stuff - dresses to cakes to stationary to hair style to decorations. I cannot seem to find anything that I enjoy. The one thing that is kind of nailed down is Tim's outfit. Tim would die before being caught in a peguin suit. So we compromised. He is going to be wearing a white dress shirt with a vest and either a western rope tie or bow tie. But I am leaning toward a western rope tie. The vest will not be a formal vest, but most likely a western vest. He will be wearing black dress paints with cowboy boots. So there is the texan style coming out. I can just imagine how that will look with the redwood trees and the coast in the background. I want him to be comfortable and if that is what it takes, then that is what he is going to wear.
Since we want to do an outdoors wedding and will be traveling, I do not want a poofy dress nor one with a long train. I also do not know if I want it to touch the ground either. I am also not your 1-16 size either. I am hoping to lose some weight so I can have more of a selection.  I also do not want spaghetti straps or strapless. I do want some sleaves or a tank top style. I do not want on the fancy stuff on the front or the back. I want something very simple. The same with the bridesmaid dresses. The colors are going to be blue and green. So maybe a dress that is a blend of the two colors would work. However, no strapless or spaghetti straps. I want the dress to be able to be worn again. Not a short dress nor a long dress. I am thinking between the knees and the ankles are a good length. I guess you can say I want the dresses to be modest and something that does not look out of place in the woods.
Tim likes tractors/farming and I like traveling/history. How in the world would we incorporate our favorite things. That would make the reception decor very unique and just us.
