T is for Theme

The theme is a great way to bring all of the elements of your wedding together. The overall idea can grow from the location of the wedding, a specific time period, style or color. Try to avoid picking a theme that will overshadow the meaning of the day, but don't hesitate to pick a theme if it is one that makes your day more fun and adds meaning for you.

There are many great pictures, blog posts, and recommendations for themed weddings online to help you generate your own ideas. Check out this post on Micanonymous - I love the Starry Starry Night theme (#18 of 30, see below) and the Travel theme (#26 of 30, see below).

 

You can also find some... interesting(?) wedding themes involving costumes and props. If you're into sci-fi, comics, or are just feeling particularly theatrical... no judgment here!

For a more subtle theme, but still one that can be worked into every part of your wedding day, I love the monochromatic themes and themes that double as colors/flavors, i.e. mint, peach, or the champagne theme featured on MarthaStewartWeddings.com pictured below!

Seasonal themes can also be really beautiful, and they can be as simple or as elaborate as you want.
