Choosing your wedding decorations, colors, Wedding, and your
wedding location can be simplified by selecting a wedding theme.
We propose this idea, because, yout themed wedding can
easily be based on color, decorations, invitations, people, places, feelings, and anything
else you can put your mind to!
A couple can easily decide a wedding theme once they write a
list of their common likes and pet peeves. Immediately eliminate
the ideas that are on the "pet peeve" list. The "likes" should
reflect things that you and your spouse-to-be have in common. It
shouldn't reflect the opinions of friends and family.
By "likes," of course--we mean fictional characters from books
and/or television, musicians, exotics places, animals, Wedding,
heritage, or even a specific area of time. Once you've selected
something fun that you both enjoy, you can build your theme
around it. For instance, if you choose a 'Fabulous |
|
50's
Wedding,' you may want to rent a pink Cadillac instead of a
limousine! And of course, you'll want 50's music, fountain soda,
and maybe even a server on roller-skates!
Colors and decorations can really help bring out the theme of
your wedding. A beach theme works with the color blue and sand.
Toss beach balls around while everyone is dancing, and don't
forget the limbo stick!
As you can see, themed weddings require imagination. It's not
something that you should stress yourself out over, it's meant
to be fun. Get creative and have fun exploring different ways to
bring the best of your theme out. One of the best places to
research information having to do with the specific theme you
may have chosen--is the internet. You're getting married at a
time where all of this information is right at the tips of your
fingers! Take advantage of it.
Something that's very important to note: When you're selecting
vendors for your wedding, be sure to tell them that it's a
themed party so |
|
that they can arrive in appropriate attire. If
your theme requires special services from your vendors, be sure
to request these services in advance. Be understanding and
patient with any vendor that may not be able to perform a
certain function related to your theme. Sometimes specific
services can not be rendered or a location may not allow this
specific action to take place. Instead, make another suggestion
and toy around with a different idea.
The food you choose is also a very important aspect of
planning your theme wedding. Make sure that your food
coincides with the 'tone' of the theme. After all, you want your
guests to feel compelled to talk positively about YOUR wedding
for years to come.
