Period Weddings: Use A Historical Period As A Setting For The Wedding. All The Details, Including Invitations, Attire, Location, And Decorations, Evoke That Period. Possibly The Most Popular Period For Wedding Themes Is The Renaissance. The Rich Opulent Costumes Provide A Distinctive Look, And Many Of The Wedding Traditions We Know Today Originated In That Era. Victorian Weddings, Complete With Lace And Opulent Tables And Settings, Exude Romance. A Rose Garden Is A Perfect Setting For A Tea Reception Following The Ceremony. The Roaring 20s Can Make For A Very Stylish Atmosphere, With Striking, Slinky Dresses For Women And Tails For The Men. A Jazz Band Playing The Charleston Tops Off The Reception. If There Is A Period In History You Are Fascinated With, Research The Elements That You Can Integrate Into Your Wedding To Make It Unique.
Seasonal Weddings: Take Their Decorating Cue From The Time Of Year They Are Held. Spring Weddings Might Feature Pastel Invitations, Baskets Of Flowers, And Seed Packets For Favors. Attendants At A Summer Wedding Might Wear Straw Hats And Sundresses. Beach Balls And Umbrellas Add Color To The Decorations And If You Can’t Actually Have Your Wedding On The Beach, Sand Can Easily Be Trucked In For A Price. Fall’s Rich Colors Give You Many Options For Decorating. Cornucopias Spilling Over With Fruit Or Hollowed-Out Pumpkins Filled With Flowers Make Wonderful Centerpieces. Winter Wedding Evoke Images Of Snowflakes And Icicles, Warm Fires, And Celebrations. Use Lush Velvets Or Shimmering Taffetas To Underscore The Festive, Wintery Theme. Decorate With Garlands Of Fir And Shiny Glass Balls. Give You Guests Snow Globes For Favors And Have Them Ring Jingle Bells As You Depart The Reception.
Holiday Weddings: Take Advantage Of The Date Your Wedding Is Scheduled. Exchanging Your Vows Just Before Midnight On New Year’s Eve Or On The Day Set Aside For Lovers May Give Your Wedding The Sentimental Edge You’re Looking For. It May Also Make Your Wedding Much More Expensive: Some Sites And Vendors Charge Holiday Rates For Occasions Such As New Year’s Eve, Florists Are Incredibly Busy On Valentine’s Day And The Cost Of Flowers Goes Up, And Travel May Be More Expensive. On The Other Hand, If You’re Getting Married In December, You May Be Able To Use Decorations That You Venue Has Already Put Up For The Holiday Season, Saving You Money In That Area.
