So you’d like to adopt a theme for your wedding, however you’re not sure where to start. Or, here’s another extreme, you’ve got a head full of ideas and are having a difficult time selecting one – because unless you’re going for the circus theme, incorporating them all is out of the question.
Don’t panic! There is a perfect theme out there for you. A great place to start is with what you DO know. You’ve undoubtedly secured at least one of these wedding elements: wedding color(s), wedding venues and/or your wedding date. You can actually start here, let what you have confirmed lead the way! Here are a few thoughts from a guest writer.
Wedding Color
Wedding colors are a great jumping off point for choosing wedding themes. Going with popular images and themes associated with a certain color, your wedding theme will be easy-breezy to incorporate along with all other wedding elements. Different shades for just one color is more than enough. For example, there are many shades of blue. Dark blue is associated with navy; pair it with red and white, ropes and sailboats for a lovely navy-themed wedding. Royal blue is, well, royal; combined with silver it is perfect for an elegant, royal affair. Light blue evokes images of sunny skies and clear waters–ideal with a destination wedding.
Wedding Venue
Wedding venues with strong identifying points can inspire great wedding theme ideas. Holding your reception at a ranch is perfect for a romantic country wedding with DIY touches here and there. A museum hall is great for a quirky yet formal affair. A school yard or hall is just the place for a school-themed wedding (and is perfect for couple who met at a school, too).
Wedding Date
Be inspired with the season. Having spring, summer, fall or winter theme weddings is a classic choice. It makes the most of Mother Nature’s free backdrop. And everything is cheaper when it is in season–you just might be surprised at how much lower your flowers will cost when you choose flowers in season.
