White wedding dress, white tablecloths, white linens, white tulle, white aisle runners, white candles, white dishes and white confetti. Get the picture? White can be terribly boring and stuffy. Since many brides are choosing to veer away from oppressive white wedding dresses, they are also becoming more adventurous and building a wedding day around a fun, romantic or meaningful theme.
Grab a cup of hot coffee and curl up in your favorite chair with a pen and pad of paper. If you sit quietly and think about your relationship with your betrothed; what you like to do together, what you both love and hate, your cultures or backgrounds – finding a wedding theme will be easy. Perhaps you met on vacation at a dude ranch so choose a western wedding theme. Maybe you both have a love for the autumn season with the changing of the leaves and the crisp air, or the wonder of the winter season because you both ski or snowboard – a seasonal theme may be right for you! If you fell in love as high school sweethearts, at your part time jobs as lifeguards at the local beach, then it is obvious that a beach wedding theme may be perfect.
Wedding themes should be an extensive of your togetherness, and a glimpse to your wedding guests of how your life moving forward in matrimony will be. It can be fun and colorful, playful and romantic or dreamy and fairytale like. Ultimately, it should be your decision – you and your engaged partner – and no one else who chooses the ideal wedding theme.
