Theme Weddings!

Get creative and personal when planning your wedding - it is FUN!

Do you want your wedding to be remembered?  Are you the type that do not want the traditional wedding set up but looking to add something you are passionate about as the theme? What offbeat themes do you have in mind? 

Based on your budget there are a wealth of ideas that you can incorporate into your wedding to make your theme come alive. It's your vision!  It's your decision!  I met a couple once that created a Rastafarian theme (althogh they did not practice the religion). The entire setting was done in the colors - red, green, gold, with lots of Bob Marley slogans,  african decorations, and they both wore wigs imitating the "dreadlocks." This was one of the most fun weddings I ever attended.

Here are some great offbeat wedding themes:
  • Get married in Las Vegas - Vegas style!  Are you an Elvis fan? then go back in time and plan  an Elvis theme, songs...etc.
  •  
  • Beach wedding. For example you don't have to go to Hawaii if you can't afford the expense you can set up "Hawaii" right in your back yard. With the help of a wedding planner (if your budget permits) or simply, researching a typical Hawaiian setting.  Another beach theme is a bonfire with live band, or just a simple beach wedding in just bathing suits.
  •  
  • Halloween wedding from a casual black and orange to a formal  masquerade ball.
  •  
  • Bungee jumping!  This is becoming a popular one.
  •  
  • In a hot air balloon (I recently received a request to consult with someone on this theme).
  •  
  • Cinderalla theme.  Get our your slipper ice sculptor, your horse drawn buggy, pumpkin, glass slippers, black tux with tails...it is your fairytale!
  •  
  • Beside a waterfall.  This can be one of the most gorgeous settings.
  •  
  • Underwater (officiant may be limited)
  •  
  • Slope side - a ski theme.
There are so many themes I could list, but this is just a rule of thought that you don't have to get into the traditional place of worship or the traditional set up for your wedding.  Choose what you are most passionate about and capture your interpreation of this wonderful day.

Have a splendid wedding!
