Get Inspired.. themes and colors

Wedding Planning can be quite overwhelming due to the abundance of ideas and details you might fall in love with and wish to incorporate on your special day. To make your planning more focused and organized, decide on a wedding theme . A theme helps set the guidelines so your wedding does not become a muddle of unrelated elements. Working within the parameters of a certain theme usually results in a well-planned, beautifully put together wedding.

It is not required that the theme has to be something overwhelming, it can be simple and classy too. with the ides you get you can make a inspiration board based on themes and colors


So this what you need to do


  1. Find theme inspirations from wedding sources such as magazines, websites, as well as previous nuptials you've been to. Chances are, even before your engagement, few ideas are already brewing in your mind. You may want to go for contemporary looks and decors or take on the glamor of the Golden Hollywood era. Or a a "Drive-in Movie," "World Traveler" or "Tea Party" theme may better fit your personalities.

  2. Consider your and your fiance's personality, style and interests when choosing a wedding theme. Are you a modern or traditional couple? Are you movie buffs, adventure-seekers or laid-back homebodies? Go with what your heart dictates, but be sure to talk to your fiance and include his preferences in the decision as well.

  3. Consider location when deciding on a wedding theme. If your venue is a hotel ballroom, you can have a formal, black-tie affair. If you are using an island destination, a beach-themed wedding would be the obvious choice. A garden venue, on the other hand, would be appropriate for nature-inspired or eco-themed weddings.

  4. Choose a season that accommodates your wedding theme. Fall weddings usually take advantage of the dramatic colors of nature as backdrop, while nuptials held during winter commonly adopt themes suitable for indoor venues. Summer is the most flexible season because the weather allows for whatever kind of theme you have in mind. The time of year also dictates other choices, like what flowers are in season or if your favorite lake-view venue is open for business.

  5. Keep your theme within your budget. Does your budget allow for a grand wedding, complete with all the frills and excesses? Or will it only afford you a simple intimate affair? Also consider where your guests are coming from. Will they be able to afford a specific wardrobe if you require them to dress according to the theme? Make your theme practical and reasonable for everyone.

  6. Start cutting out pictures from magazines or internet and form start your inspiration board, with all the themes, and color combinations. And check with your friends for their feedback and ideas. This not an east task, its quite daunting.
