Wedding Theme

What aspects of me & my fiance’s lives & personalities can I draw on to come up with some ideas for a very unique & personal wedding reception. Where can I find very unique wedding & reception theme ideas? It will be in September..

Aspects : What do you two like to do together ? Think of a game you play , a food you eat together, replaying your whole first date again ??

Think about some of your fave things as a couple and put this into a wedding theme .

Its not too original but my sister in law and her husband both liked to play cards. He was a Texas Holdem freak and she liked to play PITCH. They also loved sailing … so they had a small wedding on a yacht with casino and card games as part of the reception.

I do not like fall color themes like reds, yellows or browns, and I dont want to do orange or black. My favorite color is lime green, any suggestions?

chartreuse and purple

I have most everything planned out I just don’t know how to decorate the walls and cover the ugly garage door! Please help!

Go to wal mart or some fabric stores, look at their cheap, sale fabric.

This time of year you should be able to find tropical, beach type theme fabric. Mix and match. OR blues, like the sky or ocean.Figure out how high you want it, say at least 6 ft, that is 2 yards, and how many feet around you want to go. Fabric comes 45" or 60".you should be able to do the math.

Get some cheap string and wind it around the room, using nails or stuff already up to hold it, then drape your cheap fabric over it.
You can save the fabric and make some summer, picnic table cloths. You can even use clothespins to hold them.

OR go find a bunch of cheap, on sale, dollar store beach towels and use those, and you will have some for next summer.

Maybe that will give you some ideas…..good luck, have fun!

My fiance and i picked the mutual color of Royal blue and silver and i added a touch of pink just to be girly…This will be a June wedding but we cant think of a specific theme to bring everything together. we are thinking the beach theme and garden theme is not really an option…I need help with my imagination.

Why do you need a theme name? Having a theme is not necessary–wedding unto itself is a theme.

Ok so I am just getting started on planning my wedding which is taking place October 2009 in Destin, FL. My favorite movie is The Notebook and my fiance and I absolutely love this movie. I would love to incorporate this theme in my beach wedding/reception and could use some suggestions. Thanks!

Well how much "beach" theme are you wanting? There are numerous ways to include it. Favors can be anything from yankee candles (Sand and Sun scent) to laffy taffy to Godiva chocolate shells. The centerpieces can be conch shells or bowls of water.

I mean typical Nautical theme is going to be anchors, fish, shells, and colors of navy blue and white.

Or the pink of the inside of the shell and the blue/gray of the ocean.

Other sand colors involve sea grass and sand/beige. You could be using salt and sand in your centerpieces. Lanterns or lighthouses.

There is really a lot you can do. I had a tropical theme and I used tiki torches, burning outside and inside with long grass stuck in the top. Pictures definitely set the scene. You can either use pictures of the two of you on the beach or big posters of beach scenes. You could also go write in the beach and take pictures of that. Consider writing your names, I love you, and quotes from the movie. There are lots of photo collages you could make of those shots or borrow 8×10 picture frames from everyone you know and use those beach shots and the frame as your centerpieces. Maybe even see if you can find a shot of the wooden rowboat like they had in the film and since WWII was a crucial part of that movie, that famous photo "August 1945"

Really there is so much you can do with a beach theme and with the movie. Think about what colors you really like and what you think of when you think of your wedding.

Centerpieces: A chessboard in the middle of the table with the heads of red roses scattered across it.

Favours: With all the chessboards you have for centerpieces, you should have gotten a bunch of chesspieces. Give them away as favours. Tie a ribbon around them and attach a made-up a lovey-dovey poem for each type of piece. (Don’t give out the King and Queen!)

White tablecloths with black napkins. Black chair covers with white sashes.

Bridal Bouquet: A hand-tied bouquet of Penny Black Nemophila and Red Gerbera Daisies.

Feature a black and white checkered dance floor.

Get a double ice luge in the shape of King and Queen chess pieces.

Use a King and a Queen from the chess sets as cake-toppers. The cake should alternate layers: 1 checkerboard, one white with black flowers drawn on. Between each layer, fill the space with red roses.
