There are so many different themes for your wedding. It
amazes me how diverse brides can be. How to choose? I think it awesome to
select styles and themes to match your personality. Think about what brought
you together, what you have in common, the day you meet, where you meet, and
what you love to do together.
I had one bride that brought us sheet music to make cones
from for the boutonnieres because she and the groom both played musical instruments.
Another was a self-proclaimed diva, she
wanted faux pink diamonds everywhere.
If you are not sure what theme you want for your wedding or
you just want to know what your options are here are a few choices with some
ideas to tie it all together.
Top Five Wedding
Themes
1 Fairytale: Cinderella comes to mind. I envision
a frog turned prince for pictures. Ballerina type slippers, tiaras, a ballroom
type wedding gown and tulle lots and lots of tulle. The flowers should be soft
and subtle. White roses, blush peonies or lily of the valley and freesia these
all would make a delightful combination. Your flower girl could carry a wand. You
could add some sparkle and shine as well to add some dazzle. For the
centerpieces, candelabras adorned with fresh cut botanicals. How about a glass
slipper on a pillow for the ring bearer? The venue would be important as well
you would want a place that had a ballroom with tall ceilings… Chandeliers would
be an added bonus and how about a horse drawn carriage?
2 Shabby chic: Burlap lace linen and pearl. Pale
shades of pink with tans and beige's these are a few of the shabby chic textures
and colors, soft and romantic. White
iron milk glass or white distressed wood accent pieces. They could be cake stands,
bird houses, bird feeders, candle holders
or just boxes. How about the lace from your mom’s dress? Use it as a
wrap around the stems of your bouquet or make beautiful lace flowers with
pearls in the center
3 Rustic chic: Rustic chic is very similar to shabby
chic just more burlap less lace if any. You can bring more colors like blues,
greens, purples really any color you like. Mason jars, wood, twigs, rustic signs are
great accent pieces. Flowers arranged loose and casual in a more wild flower
theme works well with the rustic chic look. Good venue choices would be barns
or home style weddings, even in front of a big oak tree would be awesome.
4 Rustic country: Bring out the cowboy boots for
this one, yee haw. Barn setting is a great place for a rustic country wedding.
Burlap, wood slabs, hay bales,moss, rustic signs, rusty metal and tin cans… yes
yes yes. Colors the more the merrier…
sunflowers, larkspur, wild flowers galore.
5 Vintage: Bring in the old and fun. Old typewriters,
suitcases, old pane windows, books, and distressed doors all make great back
drops and accents. The cake on top of a vintage suitcase is real cool or it’s a
great place for the guest to place cards in. Old broaches’ make a great brides
bouquet as a whole or as a accent with fresh flowers. Vintage colors, muted
whites and pinks. Bunting garlands are a good choice for your signs or just as
accents. Try milk glass vase with a few flowers for centerpieces mix and match
for interest.
