WEDDING THEMES

A wedding is a splendid affair. But, while most couples know that they want a particular kind of wedding, they don't really know where to start, or how to incorporate that theme into their wedding! We understand how difficult and stressful it can be to figure how to keep your theme going and making it work out on your very special day. Here are a few wedding themes and how you can go about making them a reality:

1. Sophisticated/Casual Weddings: If what you're looking for is a sophisticated and formal wedding, then you should definitely keep a few handy tips in mind. The groom should be dressed in a designer suit instead of the regular tuxedo while the bride must definitely have a couture wedding dress. Flower arrangements and bouquets should be made of only one kind of flower such as orchids or lilies. Register for modern art or for contemporary home furnishings as gifts. Have sushi, middle-eastern or raw bar stations with each chef making custom delicacies. Make sure that you have the most simplistic but deliciously elegant cocktails. You can also have an after-wedding party at a hip downtown bar. For those wanting a more casual affair, wear whatever you're comfortable in. While the groom can wear jeans or khakis with a casual shirt and a simple sports coat, the bride can wear a white sundress. You can have your wedding anywhere, including your parents' backyard, a local park or even the community center. Another thing that works is handwritten invitations on handmade paper. Instead of elaborate floral arrangements, have pots of simple bulbs such as tulips or hyacinths. You could have a barbeque or picnic fare as the menu. Make sure you register for useful but inexpensive gifts.

2. Valentine's Day Weddings: If you are getting married on Valentine's Day, then let your wedding reflect a lot of romance. Consider an old-fashioned look like a classic style dress and tuxedo, which is more romantic. Make sure you book your location early, as Valentine's Day is a very popular day to get married. Tie the knot at a place that will allow you to light lots of candles to really set the mood for a late evening ceremony. You can even ask married couples to stand during your wedding and reaffirm their love for each other. If you want to have a DJ, create a song list full of love songs. Use almost any flowers in abundance. Include some aphrodisiacs in the menu like an oyster bar, asparagus, almonds, chicken with mole sauce, and chocolate covered strawberries. Your invitations and favors can also reflect the romantic theme of your wedding.

3. Whimsical Weddings: If you are a creative couple, make your wedding day a spectacular event that celebrates your love for anything – like a particular TV show, book, era, collectible or even have a kitschy theme. For instance, you could get married in Las Vegas or Disneyland. Or install a photo booth at your wedding. Have singing waiters or have your reception at a cabaret style restaurant. You could have a costume wedding or hire a 1963 Corvette to drive away in after you take your vows. You could also have a fifties band performing for you. Or how about an over-the-top carhop wedding?!

4. Sports Weddings: If it was your common love of sports that attracted you to each other, then you can incorporate your passion into your wedding day. You can dress up in the colors of your favorite team. Instead of regular decorations like table numbers, use your favorite players or the names of stadiums. Serve your favorite sports junk food like hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and cola. Consider a local stadium as a place to take your vows or an open space where your guests will be able to have a game of football. You can also think about giving out personalized sports favors to your guests.
