Wedding planning and perfume

D and I are planning a wedding for this fall. Nothing seems set in stone. We need to get our location figured out before we can figure out save the date cards and invitations, the guest list is constantly undulating, and there's been some but not enough talk of what the ceremony will look and feel like. We have ideas and inspiration, but nothing for sure yet. I don't want to dictate what anyone else wears, but I've been telling people who ask that they may dress in autumnal colors, if they want. Sham is having a baby in August and is having a hard time finding a dress that will fit her post-natal body that is both long and non-black. I do have my dress. I bought it a few days before D proposed. It's long, gold, and fits for now, but will probably need to be altered before the wedding. I know I'll need a second outfit for the picnic/potluck/open mic/lovefest the next day. Having two dresses for the event makes me feel a little crazy, but wearing a fancy dress to a picnic would make me feel even crazier.

Things I c
an focus on without going completely insane while waiting to lock down a location, Part 1:

Perfume:
One of my deepest loves. My current favorites:

I'm nearing the end of my Vintage bottle. Should I save it up for the wedding or is it too casual for a ceremony? D's favorite perfume on me (or, at least, the only one he notices) is Dior's Hypnotic Poison, but I think it's much too heavy for the day. Should I look for something new or fall back on favorites?
