Wedding Themes, Tacky or Tasteful

We love to stand out from the crowd when it comes to wedding and themes are a great fun way to add your personal stamp to your day. However if done badly may ruin the whole ambience of your special day.

Great easy themes that are tasteful and high on trend are: Garden Party, Vintage Tea party, Beach Comber,

For the more adventurous you may like movies, or James bond glamour.

5 Tips to avoid Tacky Themes:

1. - Less is more - don't overdo the decoration and trimmings, too much is a recipe for disaster
2. - Choose a colour scheme, 2-4 colours is a good starting point and stick with it unless your theme is tropical then all the colours of the rainbow are a must.
3. - Creat a mood board, cut out what you like to help you decide what works and have it on show when decorating.
4. - Brief your helpers make sure that they know exactly what you want and what you don't want, before you start decorating and buying supplies. Saves upset when stress levels are high, if you don't make it clear who will?
5. -Keep it simple - sometimes the best ideas are the simplest.

I will be looking more into how to create individual themes and colour schemes in my next posts.

I love the theme ideas on http://www.confetti.co.uk/article/view/14376-8710-0-Your_Themes_Sorted__Themes.do

When choosing your favours, try to keep them unique to match your theme and also something that they will use is a great gift.

I love the idea of nameplaces which could double as paperweight, wine glass charms, Fairtrade chocolates in personalised wrappers the list is endless. But a bit of thought from your end ensures that your gifts are memorable too.
