You want your wedding to reflect
who you are as a couple-unique and special. If a traditional
wedding seems a little on the blah side to you, a theme wedding
may be just the thing you're looking for. In fact, theme weddings
are the hottest trend in weddings today.
Depending on the theme you choose, you can live out your fantasies
of living in another time or another place - or in a completely
new way.
Whether you're into all things western or romantic strolls
on the beach, butterflies or fairytales, the most important
aspect in choosing a theme is that it be something that you
consider to be romantic and fun. After all, memories of your
wedding day will be cherished for a lifetime. |

Things to Consider When
Planning a Themed Wedding
- Consider the time of year for your wedding. A beach bash may
not work in February; just as a winter wonderland theme will
melt in July.
- If you want your guests to participate in the theme by dressing
in costume, then let them know early. A good way to do this
is with your choice of announcements and invitations.
- Make sure that your attendants and groomsmen are supportive
of the idea. No one wants to feel uncomfortable on your wedding
day. It's also important to make sure all wedding attire is
comfortable so that a good time can be had by all.
- Discuss your plans with the wedding officiate to make sure
that there aren't any objections.
- Don't overdo the decorations. Having every square foot of
the church and reception hall decorated with your theme will
look tacky-definitely not the look you are going for. It's best
to choose one or two major motifs from a theme and use them
sparingly to avoid looking cheap.
- Talk to your wedding vendors. With theme weddings on the rise
in popularity, these wedding professionals may be able to offer
ideas to pull your theme together.
- If you have chosen a theme and are having a hard time getting
it together or aren't sure if its doable, hire a wedding coordinator
to help-they've seen it all and have the contacts in the wedding
industry to plan your theme wedding down to the very last detail.
- Do not let the theme detract from the meaning of the day.
This is your wedding day-the day you begin your new life together.
Whatever the décor, the underlying theme of the day should
be romance and fun.
