Inspiration and or theme

Amanda, on August 15, 2019 at 22:30 Posted in Plan a wedding 1 21
Now that you are engaged and the planning for the big event is underway, what if any, inspiration or theme will you be using for your wedding?

The inspiration for my wedding is The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, our wedding cake will be designed like the painting. To take it one step further we are also incorporating a Doctor Who theme (all Whovians know the Doctor, Amy and Vincent had quite the adventure) with a little Star Wars thrown in for my FH. We definitely will be keeping it tasteful using the theme for table names, signature drinks and how we designed our invitations. I would love to hear who else has a theme or inspiration that is being tied into your big day!

    It’s a great series, it’s my fiancé’s favourite & I absolutely love Disney ☺️ we gave each of our wedding party members a tshirt I designed, featuring items from the game (there was 6 in total) . As well as we’re having each table centerpiece themed around a different world from the game.

    Kat D, I will never get tired of that episode. I had to look up up Kingdom Hearts as I was unfamiliar, but I love the idea of final fantasy meets Disney.

    Love your theme idea, the Vincent episode is my all time favourite.
    My fiance and I are using Kingdom Hearts as our main inspiration, while also sticking to a romantic/whimsical/fairytale vibe & pinks/greens/white/gold as our colour palette ☺️

    Peacock colours will definitely pop in the fall. I grew up in Ontario and Ontario in the fall is spectacular!

    Hey Veronica, here is the inspiration for the cake. Ours will be hand painted though as our cake will be travelling some distance and we discussed that it would travel better that way.

    I love your wedding ideas, Cinderella in an enchanted forrest, with pumpkins it sounds very magical, and romantic. There is nothing wrong with throwing in quirky either, I have learned to embrace that side of me! I love the fall as well and the leaves at this time will be gorgeous.

    I like watching Doctor Who and some of the different Doctors and companions as Rose was a regular for one of them. Every detail and design is well put together nicely.

    Vinod, you pictures of your wedding looked lovely congratulations! These are the invitations, the design on the top is from Doctor Who, an alien (who looks human with two hearts and either sounds British or Scottish.) from the planet Gallifrey and that is there way of writing. Sorry if you are aware of Doctor Who. Just like my profile picture who is Rose, one of the companions to the Doctor, we have other Doctors (as he regenerates 13 times so far) and Companions in this style. We will be pairing them together and putting them in a gold frame and that will be the table names. Our “guest book” will be the picture I had made below, my face as one of the companions and my FH as Han Solo. They will be able to sign around the boarder and we will then get it framed.

    Rayanne, that sounds amazing! I love that Very first snowfall of the season when everything is blanketed in white, the sun shining down making it sparkle! Adding the red will also look amazing.

    We're using Tori's FH's cousin's teal and plum peacock lol!

    Our colours are more turquoise and regency (deep) purple but we are fully embracing peacock feathers in our decor! Our wedding is in the fall time too, but I feel like peacock will look really nice and be unique for this time of year.

    You have thought out a great plan that works for yourself and FH to incorporate starry night vision for the wedding. The description is just something to see it in your head as the results will be as beautiful at the end.

    Our style was modern and simple keeping it low key. Black and White with touch of red incorporated. Colourful beads representing the pride flag was done for Reception to have the vibrancy throughout with LED lights lit for the evening and floral balls covering the top of the vase.

    We would love to see the pictures when you get some projects done and style of the results.

    Hey almost wedding date twin!

    Love Starry Night. I can just imagine how gorgeous that cake will be. I hope you post pictures!

    Our wedding date is Thanksgiving Sunday. Autumn is my favorite season, and I love all things pumpkin (Cinderella is my favorite fairytale!), and we are both huge foodies. And my fiance really loves to embrace his inner German.

    So we are really playing on a fall harvest style but less rustic and more enchanting. No burlap or hay bails. Lots of fairy lights and fall floral/leaves. Of course there will be pumpkins, even pumpkin pie! The bridesmaids will be in a darker teal color (because teal is my favorite) and then I will have burgundy shoes and lips. And then we are throwing in some German traditions and quirky things.

    We are not very over the top people. So we are trying to keep it simple yet beautiful. Rustic chic is what we are looking for. Burgundy and navy are our main colours with some blush and gold accents.

    Ours was just to be authentically us Smiley smile We have Plum and Teal as the main colours as they are our favourite colours and then copper to tie into the fall time and to give it a bit of separation from the peacock look - which is good because we attended my FH's cousin's wedding in July and her colours were also Teal and Plum but they went towards peacocks...

    I always wanted a glamorous type of wedding. Diamonds are a girls best friend type. Once we set a winter date it become more of a sparkly theme like snow before you step on it. With red because it's our favourite colour.
