Weddings: To Theme or not to Theme?

Besides being fun to plan, theme weddings are becoming very popular.  Here are some themes that we really like.


           Watch for * = available at Lumsden Florist etc. 

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Country Fair

- Casual setting, usually outdoors, under a big event tent*, decorate with paper lanterns*



- Hot dog stands and candy apples amidst ring toss and dart games


- Favours: small honey jars with custom labels*, or handmade soap with your favourite scent and custom labels*


- Have guests toss air popped popcorn in lieu of rice



  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fresh Garden or Lakeside Cottage

- Line paths with ambience: using paper lunch bags or recycled 2L bottles with tops cut off; fill to 1/3 with sand and nestle in lit votive.


- Prop your old canoe onto its side, fill with ice and Voila - you have your bar half ready!



- Centrepieces: collect driftwood and stones from the lakeshore.  OR handmade birdhouses* which you can auction off!  OR try potted herbs or small plants*



- Set straw bales around in clearings and under trees for sitting space.  Cover with bright coloured blankets and quilts.

Vintage Vanity Fair 

  - Hit second hand shops for fun classic diva accessories: Cigarette holders, half veiled hats, shawls, boas... Have handy for guests to use.


- Feathers! On everything: cake, in hair, with flowers. Use feather boas as garland and piled as centrepieces.*


- Flowers can be anything, but the full, imperfect garden roses look sooo good with their own half veil.*


- Think: old Coca Cola bottle machines with glass bottles cokes on hand, and of course, champagne darling!

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Modern Zen
    


- Zen in peaceful, and relaxing. Choose colours which are quiet yet modern: pale blue or cream with espresso.


- Centrepiece ideas abound: single, simple bamboo stems* OR a tall vase of curly willow* OR floating candle orchid vases seen here.*


- Location can be either outside with groomed rock or sand garden accents OR inside with elements of nature brought in.


- Have your bridesmaids hold simple paper parasols* in lieu of flowers


- Line walkways with a trail of rose petals* or river stones*
