Wedding Themes
Wedding themes help all involved know what the ceremony and reception
is about. All couples want to have a wedding that is unique to them
and different from any wedding they, and their guests, have experienced
before. Many couples choose to have a theme wedding for this reason.
When deciding on a wedding theme, it's common for couples to have
an idea of what they want but not be exactly sure as to how they
can accomplish it. This article goes into detail for a Valentine's
Day wedding theme but be sure to check out other great ideas for
a themed wedding included at the end.
A Valentine's Day wedding theme can be an incredibly romantic event
and make it truly memorable for all involved. An old-fashioned look
is a must for a Valentine's Day wedding theme. A classic gown and
tuxedo will hold true to the theme as will accenting the wedding
with splashes of red. A wedding gown with red accents or pinning
red roses into the bride's hair will make for a truly romantic look.
The facility where the event will be held needs to be booked well
in advance for a Valentine's Day wedding as this is a very popular
day for couples to marry. Choose a venue that will allow for many
candles to be lit as this will add to the romantic ambience.
For the ceremony, request that married couples stand and reaffirm
their devotion and love for each other. This will be a nice touch
to their Valentine's Day and will add to the romantic atmosphere.
When it comes to choosing flowers for your Valentine's Day wedding,
abundance is key as flowers are already very romantic. Your first
inclination may be to go with roses but remember that roses are
extremely expensive in February so another choice may be a better
option. There are a number of beautiful red and pink flowers such
as tulips, freesias, and hydrangeas.
For the music, a string quartet will certainly be a romantic way
to go and will keep with the wedding theme. If you decide to opt
for a deejay instead of a band of any kind, prepare a list of love
songs that you would like played. That doesn't mean they all have
to be ballads, add some fun by inserting some high-energy songs
such as "Love Shack" to the mix.
The menu can really up the romantic ante as well. Opt for selections
such as almonds, bananas, an oyster bar, chicken with mole sauce
(a Mexican chocolate sauce), asparagus, and chocolate covered strawberries.
For favors, the sky is the limit on your romantic wedding theme.
You may want to consider a small box of heart-shaped candy with
a Valentine attached. This is also a great way to personalize the
favors!
When choosing a wedding theme, it can be incredibly fun to plan
it out and decide on the "little things" that will truly
bring out the wedding's theme. Be sure to follow the theme through
all aspects of the wedding though to provide continuity. Some other
wedding themes that are quite popular are: Hollywood Glamour, Art
Lover, Christmas, Garden or Natural, Medieval, Sports Fan, and the
Beach wedding to name just a few.
