Wedding planning: Planning a fictional wedding

I used to grab those wedding planning magazines from the local grocery store in my teens because at the time I was planning a wedding.

Not mine, but a character in a novel I was in the process of writing at that time (20 years ago) was planning hers.

Mind you the wedding never happened after she found the groom in bed with his best man's fiancé the day before said wedding. lol 

Anyway, I was reading through the magazines and brochures and at the time her wedding was outside in the forest behind her family's home. Chairs lined up on either side of the isle and a wide dark purple strip of carpet down the center aisle. Behind the alter where the pastor stood was a beautiful scene of trees and wildflowers of all shapes, sizes and colors. 

A few things I learned while planning this wedding that almost ended up never happening... well eventually it happened, but with the groom's ex-best man instead. 

1. Can't see each other before the wedding
Does talking to each other thru a stained-glass door count? 

2. Old, new, borrowed and blue
She wore her gram's necklace that she wore on her wedding day, new blue heels, borrowed her mum's wedding dress and had blue forget me not flowers in her bouquet. 

3. You have to cut a wedding cake
They had 10 cupcake towers of different flavors to pick from. Perks of the bride owning her own bakery!

4. Have to have a flower girl
Well, my female character had a pup who was her flower girl. The pup wore a cute dress and carried a basket of flower petals in her mouth.

The wedding went off without a hitch and next came to planning the honeymoon. I just gave up and let them figure it out themselves. lol
