Keep it simple and classic and everyone will remember YOUR Theme Wedding. They are still alive. My last couple had a Peacock Theme Wedding...blues, greens, the dresses were gorgeous and so was the deco with the feather was the added touch throughout the design.

Great theme. I think that if your going to do a theme, keep it simple and pick one your not going to regret when you look back through your wedding album years from now. Theme weddings are fun.

Themes are fun and I recommend them to my clients often. The roaring 20's is a great idea and if its glammed up with a twist of bling it will be unforgettable so go for it.

Rare Beauty: That sounds like a really sweet idea! Check out your rental places for a vehicle to leave the church in. We're using a Model T Ford. I know I live in a smaller town but we actually have a place that rents a white wrought iron pumpkin shaped carriage. Also maybe fountains, otherwise I dunno maybe watch Cinderella and other princess movies you might find something you never noticed before and want to incorporate into your ceremony.
Guest doing the Saltwater Fish Theme: Again a super cool idea. I actually did a saltwater fish and island theme for my high school graduation party. My dad goofy as he is (trust me) had a large blue tarp laid over the backyard (because we are no where near a body of water in Nebraska) and had a truck load of sand dumped. He found a net at Hobby Lobby strung it over the house surrounded it with tiki torches and affixed shells, dried coral, and other saltwater things to it. It looked extreme with the hammock we set up for gifts instead of a gift table. Go crazy, you're lucky because you can basically do any bright color which is cool. My fiance likes gangsters and camoflouge lol thats how we ended up with the 20's cuz I'm not doing a camo theme. Guess the gangster thing kinda fit with me to cuz I'm a criminal justice major.

I am an Officiant with Your Special Day Wedding Services www.your-specialday.ca and I have performed many Theme Weddings. From the Old West where I was asked to dress up as a Parson (That's a Minister in the Cowboy Days)
A Pirate Wedding,Knights of the Round Table,Life on the Farm Wedding and many more. Themes are fun and allow
your guests and family to step into another world even if it is for just one day. Something they can remember and compare your Wedding to all other "Regular" Weddings and "Hands Down" the most fun.

I once photographed a wedding that was held in a horse pasture. The horse actually was the ringbearer, with the rings tied to its saddle. The bride wore a simple white cotton long dress, and carried wildflowers that she picked herself that morning. The groom wore brand new cowboy boots (he was very proud of them!), dark jeans, and a comfortable black shirt with a bolo tie, with turquoise. The pictures came out lovely, and for an album, we designed a more casual scrapbook style with a denim cover. Contact me at www.casablancaphotography.com I have great affordable photography packages, starting at just $175 for up to two hours of photography.

No, theme weddings are the biggest trends now. I recently shot a wedding with a "shrek" theme. They did their vows in the park, dressed as glamourous ogres and had horns and green make up to boot. There is something adorable about having a sense of humor about things and enjoying yourself, to be truly yourself. Your theme is quite normal, but I would do the theme for the reception only. Have a nice traditional, simple cermoney with a creme or ivory dress (short or long, it doesn't matter) and then for the reception, dress in costume for the roaring 20's and get lots of party decor and backdrops. Do your linen for the tables in creme, silver and black with touches of hot pink and a small, mixed flower arrangement with a feather. Good luck!

You might consider dressing up for your engagement picture to be a part of your save the date cards to get people excited about the theme. It's a good time to let them know what you have in mind. If it's a very unusual theme, perhaps you can refer them to a website that shows what your theme is all about and where they can find clothing that is styled after that era. My company is called Greatest of Days and I'm speaking from an event planner's perspective and just barely touching on this subject. I think that you truly will have one of your greatest of days. Also check out some costume rental places or places that rent out things for theatrical performances.

Yours sounds like it will be a blast! My daughter is having a Celtic/Wiccan Handfasting ceremony in San Diego. It's much harder to find items for (invitations, officiants). Themes are great as long as they don't require very specific things.

I'm an wedding and event planner in Pittsburgh, PA. Wedding themes are always great because it can really reflect the bride & groom's personality and also give you the opportunity to kick it up a few notches. For example, maybe you want to recreate where you and your fiance got engaged. It could be neat, let's say, if you got engaged in Paris....have an American in Paris theme or maybe you're in love with the tropics but live no where near the tropics....what a way to take you and your guests to paradise by following a theme like that! The bottom line....it's YOUR day and one you'll remember forever. You do what is right for you!

Help my wedding is Oct 2nd. Its country, western theme, good ole bar-b-q, inside historical round barn. Groom is wearing jeans, boots, hat, white shirt, black vest. Both of us are over 40, so age appropriate needs to be considered as well. I am having an issue on what the bride should wear. Any ideals are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe look at some old western movies where theres a wedding! I def think you should stick with the simple white dress but with a full skirt and maybe some flowers in your hair. It will add color. This picture might give you an idea http://favoride-sitepics.favorideas.com/rustic-wedding-mon1l.jpg

Your wedding should speak of you and your spouse. Personalize the theme to something that the 2 of you enjoy, like or are fans of.

i like when weddings have themes. but i agree with some of the others that you just shouldn't take it overboard. if both you really like the 20s then keep that theme in mind when picking out your gown and the bridesmaid dresses, flowers, centerpieces, colors, etc. but that doesn't mean you have to go all out and have all music from the 20s or have flapper girls and boas. but that's just my two cents.
congrats!!

you can actually go to school for it....though it's not "interning" it is a lot for hands on. you should look online at the things available in your area. i'm pretty sure you'll be able to find someone teaching the basics of planning weddings. the just help you understand the ins and outs of the trade.

My daugher is getting married Oct. 31, 2010. Her theme is, of course, Halloween. Guests are encourage to come in costume. The bride will wear an ivory dress (probably carry calla lillies, too.) The groom will dress in a black tux with a red-lined black cape. They won't wear a lot of make-up and go overboard, but they will do some. At the reception there will be a "candy bar" where we'll have containers with different kinds of candy, then treat bags that the guests can fill up themselves. I plan on using fake skulls with a hole cut in the top to do floral designs, and put a variety of clear votive candles around it. There'll be Halloween type decorations. Any other suggestions?

As an officiant, I absolutely adore themed weddings. They can really capture the personalities of the couple and make the event truly their own. They are definitely the weddings that stand out in my memory. This coming Saturday I am officiating a 50s themed wedding in a bowling alley. I can't wait! Any wedding can be tacky or classy whether it has a theme or not. It's all in how you pull it off. Besides, I think they can be much more fun to plan. They force you to be a little more creative and I think we get inherent pleasure from that. Best Wishes! Rev. Ann Fuller, Melbourne, FL

Your idea sounds absolutely lovely. If you are planning to go all out, you could have invitations that are scrolls or ones that read "Hear Ye Hear Ye...".
I'd love to see what else you come up with.

Jayeboo:
Amethyst is more of a color than a theme. You can do this with picking the right flowers, table cloths and accessories. You can even buy pieces of amethyst and sprinkle them around your flowers. Flowers with purple shades like iris, hydrangea will look lovely. You can have your bridesmaids where a gown with these colors and matching bouquets and have your room lighted in hues of the same color. You can have your escort cards printed with these colors as well as your menu cards, thank you cards and favors. If you'd like a free consultation, drop me a note at liseramos@msn.com

Rare Beauty -
I love it too. You may also consider have two youngsters in costume and costumed royalty announce you and your husband as you enter the reception room. They can have trumpets, scrolls and pillows with "glass" slippers.

I think all weddings today should have a theme.
You could do a cocktail wedding,Island theme etc.Weddings need to be jazzed up,it's the same old thing every weekend.

Set up a queen-like chair in the middle of the dance floor. as each bridesmaid walks in, she sits in the chair (have them barefoot). Your father or the father of the groom tries to fit each girl. Then you walk in and sit, he puts on the shoe. You stand, and your king arrives, the father takes your hands and and the grooms hand together, who in turn escorts you to the dance floor for the first dance.

hi bmsmith
you need to figure out the following:
*# of guests]
*budget (what do you want to spend on your wedding? $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 or more?)
*style of wedding: traditional? modern? art deco? princess? african queen? caribbean?
*what season? June is a summer month. You may want a beach theme or a beach wedding.
*venue: hotel? nightclub? gallery? open space like a rooftop? country? downtown cityscape?
*colors: summer colors are pretty unlimited because you can get mostly any flower you like. Talk to your fiance about what colors you both like. I just did a wedding with purples, lavendar, light blue and white. We had Iris and hydrangea florals and royal blue dresses. Since there was a lot of mirrors at the bride's reception room, we opted for white linen with the purple and blue florals and her menu cards, mass cards, and welcome banner were royal blue and white. So, you see, you may want to pick one or two colors and match everything for a nice, elegant look.
I give initial free consultations via phone & email, so drop me a line if you need more advice.
I also do photography and design services, so keep this in mind. I can help you with that.
All the best and good luck!
Love,
Lise'

If your budget allows, adding a photo booth that matches that same theme or style can add to the cohesiveness — and fun — since your guest's keepsakes from your wedding will include that look and feel. We did an "Old Hollywood" style photo booth, and if you have props and items that revolve around your theme, it doesn't make people feel as left out. Not everyone wants to rent a Zoot Suit or wear a flapper dress to fit the theme of a wedding, but they can at least fit into a proposed theme for a couple of minutes when they slip on some props. Just a thought!

If you can't do a photo booth, do get two large Hollywood posters and a polaroid camera. Set them up on easels or attach the posters to the wall. This is a good photo op. You guests can take photos along with two classic movies/stars such as Bogart, Tracy, Hepburn, or a silent star.

A Roaring 20's party can be elegant and fun. Tall vases with black or white feathers, lots of "pearls" on the tables or as napkin wrap, boas and top hats as party favors for your guests to take part in the theme. Live music with lots of horns and jazz. As long as you are marrying "the right one", the rest is all icing on the cake! Best wishes.

Dear estelagael,
where do you live?
if you want to celebrate your cultures (and this is a great way of bringing both sides of the family together) you can do a salvadorean and mexican combination of decor, elegant design work with a crest with your initials and your two flags from your countries; and combine cuisine from both cultures and use the colors from your flags in your flowers, for example, red, green, white and blue.
you can get a someone who sews to make accessories for your bridal party, let's say, pocket scarfs for the men and sashes for the bridesmaids dresses in the colors of your countries flags as well.
The bride and groom should dress tradtional, but have touches of the colors in flowers and accessories. I would also have favors, one that represents mexico and one that represents el salvador (you could do this with trinkets, candy, or order small flags, along with a tradtional wedding favor).
Good luck!

Hope I am not too late. I did the country western theme and the cutest thing was the horseshoe that I had a handle welded to and used that for my flowers - the florist created a wonderful arrangement on it.

Dear Sweet p --
April is a special month, as it commemorates the beauty of the spring flowers about to bloom.
Pink is such an appropriate color that symbolizes the Goddess within, a new beginning and a sweet romance.
I would recommend the Cherry Blossom as a point of reference which are flowered branches that come in an array of pink shades. You can get your invites, your table menus, escort cards and thank you's all to match (I can design that if you wish for a very reasonable cost), and decorate your tables with simple tall vases with the branched flowers in them with pink water and pink crystals scattered on your table tops.
Your flower girl can toss pink flower petals and your bridesmaids can hold small bouquets of pink peonies, a fluffy, pink flower that matches the flower on the cherry blossom. Your bouquet can be mixed with pink and white flowers to match.
I would have your girls wear a pink print or a simple beige satin or chiffon dress with a pink sash, and pink accessories.
Here's some links to give you some ideas.
Good luck on your upcoming event, and let me know if I can assist you in any way.
Best regards,
Lise'

Congratulations on your wedding! With those beautiful colors, your theme can be precious stones and have the tables decorated with amethysts and diamonds or pearls (there are many sites which offer these such as www.save-on-crafts.com, and even ebay!). You can have beautiful centerpieces of flower arrangements in those colors as well. Very posh, very elegant!

I think themes are great - if they have a meaning to the couple and can be translated throughout the festivities... my partner loves to travel, and we've adopted a "journey" and travel theme - but it's about us and not just a prom decorating idea. Cheers!

Dear Rare Beauty:
I think that this is a great idea for a theme. It is very romantic and sweet. Your guests will remember your day for many years to come. The glass slipper is a great idea, but it could be during your reception, not your wedding ceremony. Your bridal party could enter - boys on one side and girls on another side - a grand chair in the center. you enter with your beau who stand next to the boys. They each have a slipper in their pocket - of course it does not fit - then your hubby has your correct shoe (the shoe you will be wearing) and puts it on you and then you have your first dance. The girls can throw flower petals on you (you can have someone place them by the chair in a bag) and the photos will be beautiful. When the dance is over, the bridal party and guest can join you for another nice song.
Here's are twp nice sites that has\ve much in the way of accessories for your theme. You want to use most white, with pearls, crystal, coaches, satin, nice candlelight and slippers. You should choose flowers are are soft - creams, whites, green foliage and pastel ribbons. Your girls should wear light colors and you should wear, of course, a white ballgown with white or silver shoes.
If you need invites, thank you's, sign in posters and other printed materials, do drop me a line. I can put together a great package for 100 guests for about $350.

For a Roaring twenties theme, I suggest looking into the art deco style. Art deco can be very classy & sophisticated, considered "ultra modern" at the time. You can Google "Art Deco weddings" to find lots of ideas, but going to www.art-deco-style.com/index.html is a good starting point.
I am a graphic artist whose specialty is offering custom wedding invitations for theme weddings. You can see my work at: www.calligraphicstudio.com . Theme weddings are the most fun, and are the ones that your guests will remember the longest!

Theme Weddings are the most memorable! Last Sunday I did a Norse Mythology Themed Wedding - hey, it was Halloween so everyone - guests included was in costume! My son played guitar for the guests before and after the ceremony and of course the Wedding March for the Bride. http://www.oursimpleceremony.com/index.htm We all had fun and you will too!!
Enjoy,

You can do an art deco or hollywood theme using these colors. I would also add splashes of grey and black.
Your centerpieces can be a mix of dyed blue flowers with silver branches, dripping crystal strands and navy and black feathers in clear or silver vases. You can also add some blue and silver "bling" to the tables. Your table cloths should be navy pin tuck, and have your caterer provide silver trimmed stemware, silver charges.
You can buy two large posters of your favorite old stars like Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Gary Grant, etc. and attach them to styroboard and place by a wall so that your guests can get photographed. You should also have a pre-shoot and you and your fiance should dress 40's style with top hat, cane, feather boa and stylish clothing. You can blow up some poster sized images of yourselves and place around the room, as well as making 5x7 framed photos for your table #'s.
Get feathered masks, top hats & other hollywood novelties and hand them out to guests while dancing. It should be a fun and memorable affair.
Good luck!

These are great, romantic colors. You can do something of a "monte carlo" theme with red table cloths and black and white damask runners, large urns of blood red roses and black and clear dripping crystals. Your menu cards (you can also order a banner) could say "Lucky in Love" and design a logo with the same theme and sprinkle gold coins and colored gem stones on the tables.
Have the bar well-stocked with rum, whiskey, gin and vodka. Serve drinks over ice, or incorporate them into casino themed cocktails such a Martini Royale or a Cuba Libre.
Easier still, have plenty of the bubbly ready to mix up a communal batch of champagne punch. (Also don't forget to have sparkling water, soda or fruit drinks on hand for the non-drinkers.)
Casino Night Favors
At party's end, send guests home happy with a goodie bag filled with party favors such as lottery tickets, a pack of cards, a pair of dice, a rabbits foot, gold coins or gems for good luck.
Best,
Lise'

Educated 3511:
Hi, I visit Maryland all the time since I have family there and went to a wedding as a guest at this facility in Maryland.
http://www.miltonridge.com/Pricing.html
They offer everything (I can give you a better price on photography & videography that will include your invites, dvd of your day, thank-you cards and deluxe 12x12 photo album.)
But do check them out as they are well within your budget and quite lovely. You can bring in your own caterer or use their preferred vendors (which are quite good), but that's up to you and it's good to have an option. Be sure you get a tasting of the food, have your color scheme and see what they can offer in terms of decor.
Good luck, and let me know if you'd like to chat about our media packages.

I would recommend also thinking of your guest list as far as themes goes. Yes, a Vegas or a Roaring 20s theme can transcend generations and families, but I'm not sure a Dirty South, Krunk, Death Metal or Goth theme would really work if you are inviting people that are not familiar with it.
Naturally, it's your night, but if your theme is obscure it can turn people off.
I have a friend that's REALLY big into the metal band Ghost. And she's mentioned that her boyfriend and she wanted to do a Ghost theme wedding. Again, it's all well and good, but if the guest list included half metal fans and half none metal, it might be a little uncomfortable for those people to hear the lyrics and see the black pope and monk outfits.

Themes, can be anything, it does not necessarily have to be around a saying. Using colors through out or a feel can be a theme... Making the theme about you and your future spouse is always a great idea and makes it personal.
