Themed weddings

Isabelle, on April 6, 2017 at 13:08 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 36
Hello, hello, hello!
I'm wondering if anyone here is doing a themed wedding (80s, Disney, beach, etc.). My fiance and I are thinking of having a subtle theme of fandoms (starwars, Buffy the vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Disney). If you are doing a theme, please share with us! If you have any tips or tricks, I'd love to hear them!

    We're using the blue and gold with small touches of red and silver. My dress looks like Belle's but simple and white. For centerpieces, a couple blue books, a red rose, and some rose petals. The enchanted rose for a cake topper, teacups with red rose tea for favors. And tables named after characters instead of numbers

    Pages folded into roses is such a cost effective way to do bouquets! And you can personalize them as much as possible. I love it!

    A literary theme is so cool. I'm working on my partner to allow the nerdy things in our lives (super heros, doctor who, star wars) into the wedding, but so far, no go. He suggested, of his own volition, Beauty and the Beast as a theme, so I think that's what we'll end up with, on the subtle side. Dusty blue and cranberry, with gold sequins. Intricate scrollwork on the paper products, vaguely french themes with the occasional rose thrown in, and twinkle lights.

    That still sounds awesome though and it seems you've got quite a few details in already

    We are doing a book themed wedding, having the tables named after Harry Potter books, book page roses for the bouquets.

    I did haha for a while... But I had no choice so I sniffled up and picked a new venue. The venue I have now is awesome though as well so... Not too bad.

    We're having a literary themed wedding, but they're subtle touches. Our centrepieces will be made of books, our seating chart is going to be a huge book open at the table of contents-where everyone's names will be under chapter #s. We've got roses made of book pages and floating candles above our sweetheart table (a nod to Harry Potter-which I'm obsessed with aha)

    We didn't really pick a theme, but based off of our colour scheme, it sort of turned into this royal elegant wedding. The colours are purple with gold accents.

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll post some pictures when I get the chance. I have three favorite themes: winter wonderland, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and beach/little mermaid. A quaint little-town carnival theme is super cute too (think music video to Made in The USA by Demi Lovato). Minus the Buffy theme, these were all plan B's for us Smiley smile

    Nothing is set in stone right now but they are named after the 4 houses of Hogwarts, the 4 Ninja Turtles, Teen Titan (mostly slightly younger relatives/friends), the Avengers and our table is the Millenium Falcon.

    We are doing a 50's kind of vibe for our Wedding.

    What decor have you chosen (if any yet)?

    I have flowers, tulle, Baby's breath and carnations, Some ribbons for the chairs.Table runners, Our Wedding Planner is doing the rest for us.

    I wish I would have gotten a wedding planner haha too rich for my blood, unfortunately. Sounds like it's coming along!

    Actually, My Planner is costing me 500.00 for what I want.. which is a great price since all the other was quoting me in the 1000's. High Gloss Weddings is my Planner, they are great and travel as well. You set the price and if they can work within that price it's great, so much less stress as well.
