Mariah Carey
and Nick Cannon had a Disney theme, Katy Perry and Russell Brand went to India
and Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz had an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding.
Sure, celebrities can spare no expense when it comes to wedding themes, but
everyday couples pick themes all the time for the wedding. But do you have to?
Of course not!
If you’re
having a fall or winter wedding, the season itself makes for a spectacular
theme. Pumpkins, leaves and warm colors all say “fall,” while venues that are
already decorated for winter holidays mean you can spend you budget on more
important things, like the open bar!
You can find
little ways to express your personality, without going into a full-blown
wedding theme. Maybe your table numbers feature your favorite Beatles albums or
your wedding cake is decorated with butterflies; you don’t have to have every
single element of your wedding covered with them. That also makes it easier for
both of you to have different elements that reflect who you are.
You also can
just pick a color scheme. While things don’t have to be matchy-matchy like at
your parents’ wedding, using a color family throughout brings all the pieces
together without being a uniform theme.
If you do
want a theme, don’t get too caught up in your guests’ taking part in it. If you
want to have a Game of Thrones wedding, it may be too much to expect your
guests to all dress in medieval-style clothing. Even every guest at a Halloween
wedding may not want to dress up. Some people may get into the fun of it,
others may not, but they all want to help you celebrate.
No matter
what you choose, don’t let your theme overwhelm the most important part: the
two of you and your commitment to each other!
