I was thinking about posting some wedding tips, and came across a site I think is very helpful. In particular, I found an article about how to choose a wedding theme. Some people have crazy ones... Halloween themed? REALLY? Then of course there are your classics like beach theme or just having a certain color scheme. Check out weddingbridaltips.com for the full article.
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing a theme for your wedding. Some things you may want to consider:
-Hobbies you share with your fiance. Want to ride in on a horse and saddle?
-A favorite destination. Maybe a tropical wedding is in your future!
-Favorite colors. Kind of self explanatory.
-Sense of style. What do your invitations say about you?
-Size of the wedding. Will your theme be worth it for a tiny audience?
-A special memory. What is the story of how you two met? How can you incorporate it into your theme?
-Flowers. What kinds will suit your desired wedding atmosphere?
If you checked out the site, you'll see my dream wedding on there: 1940s Vintage style! I would love nothing more than to drive away in an old car in a beautiful lacy vintage gown, bouquet full of red roses. Oh, and a hubby too ;)
Once you've got a theme down, the fun part begins: designing it all! One of my favorite stores is Hobby Lobby. If you're crafty and looking for inexpensive ways to decorate, this is a great place to look. Check out the website, and you can find weekly 40% off coupons! This store is also really good about themes in that they have a lot of books and flyers full of crafty ideas.
A new favorite store of mine is Charming Charlie. This store is every girl's dream! It has everything from clothes, to shoes and handbags, but more than anything, JEWELRY! It is unique in that it sorts everything by color, so each section of the store has its own. Charming Charlie has great prices, too. Most jewelry in the store is no more than $15 apiece. This is a great place to look for bridal party gifts and accessories, or maybe that something blue you've been looking for!
So, what is YOUR dream wedding? Have you ever thought about a theme? Or have you been to a wedding with a really CRAZY theme? Post a comment by scrolling down to the comment box below or clicking the time next to my name at the bottom of the post. Hope this was helpful!
