ALL ABOUT YOU!

The first thing I want you to think about is your couple personality. Your hobbies, occupations, and personal interest can play a part in creating your wedding theme. After all, it is your wedding, and the theme you choose for your big day should reflect the two of you! 

Think of your clothing style and where you love to shop for clothes. Do you have a unique clothing style, or are you more casual, or do you love everything J. Crew?

Close your eyes and imagine your perfect date! Did you imagine yourselves doing something crazy and fun? Dinner and a movie? Going to an art gallery? or Horseback riding on the beach?

Now think of your decorating style. Is it tasteful and charming? Contemporary and fresh? Offbeat and eclectic? or Relaxed and casual?

COLORS!

Colors will either come naturally with your chosen theme or you can create a theme around your color choice. When we discussed your personal style above and we went over clothing style and decorating style you probably started to recognize that you are drawn to particular colors more than others. I know I am, I absolutely love blush pink, white, and grey! Look around your home; what items did you purchase because when you saw it, it made your heart go thump thump? What colors are on that item? Are those your wedding colors?

When choosing colors you’ll also want to consider the season that your wedding will be taking place. The reason for this is the surroundings outside will change. If you want a blush pink wedding, but your wedding is in the fall and the trees all around you are red and orange it may not make for the most picturesque moments.

WEDDING VENUE!

Choosing a venue that is a reflection of elements that you love is important. The settings around you can provide a feeling of romance, fun, charm, elegance, etc. so you’ll want to make sure the settings match your wedding day theme.

KEEP IT TIMELESS!

Some trendy themes may seem fun now, but will you love it when you are in your golden years or will you be asking yourself “why did we do that?” Choosing a strong trendy theme may leave you with feelings of regret. Keep it timeless and you will love it forever, just as you love each other!
