All in a Theme...

What is your wedding style? Classic? Fairytale? Romantic? Whimsical? Laid-back?

Figuring out the theme of your wedding is very important and can be greatly effected by your location and season. For instance, guests might not appreciate a Black Tie Affair (men in tuxedos and women in gowns) at your outdoor wedding in the middle of July! Wearing stilettos while climbing a hill would be deemed very challenging. Flip flops and khakis might not be appreciated in a ballroom! LOL...all of this seems pretty obvious, but it is best to know what look you are going for and to make sure your guests know how to dress for the occasion.

After you have picked your location you can begin to picture the look of your wedding at your new venue. Save pictures that you will use for inspiration. For our wedding (Joshua and I...did I mention my husband's name was Joshua?), we always knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony and let our guests know they would be walking on grass. We were going for a "magical forest" or a whimsical look.
Photos we used for inspiration are:





Remember to use your photos just as thoughts and ideas of things you like. But venture away from the photos and explore to find true perfection for yourself. Be sure to discuss this look with your florist, decorator, wedding coordinator, or whomever it be that is helping you design and execute your big day.

And here is how our dream came true....

Always remember to keep looking. And be organized. Start putting together a binder of photographs of inspiration. Your wedding will be here before you know it. Happy Wedding and Happy Holidays :).
