Wedding Themes
April 12, 2010
After a glorious weekend it feels as if spring is finally here. I therefore thought I'd put together a couple of examples of spring / summer wedding themes. I love the idea of a country shabby chic wedding, it's a theme that lends itself particularly well to marquee and outdoor weddings. You can create a very dramatic / rustic impact without having to spend too much:
- Mismatched teapots filled with seasonal flowers make wonderful table centres. Why not visit your local charity shop or car boot sale and see what you can find.
- Candle lanterns are a great idea for creating soft lighting. www.gardentrading.co.uk have some lovely examples. If however, you're on a tight budget why not get friends and family to collect old jam jars / small glass bottles. Once they've been cleaned and labels removed they can then be used to hold t-lights.
- In keeping wtih the country theme why not consider giving your guests seed packets as their wedding favours. www.englishplants.co.uk offer a personalsed packet at £1.95 per favour (up to 50 packets).
Candy Theme
A candy theme means that you can incorporate both candy colours (such as baby blue and pink) and sweets! The colour palette is very soft but you can introduce splashes of brighter colours, such as bright pink.
- A lollipop table centrepiece makes a fun talking point and can also act as favours for your guests.
- Why not choose colourful cupcakes instead of a traditional tiered cake. There are numerous places where you can now order personalised cakes, at www.fancynancy.info you can order specifically designed fancies such as ice-cream cookies.
- To make an impact why not purchase a couple of brightly coloured tubtrugs - www.containerama.com and plant some seasonal flowers. Guaranteed to add colour to any marquee or garden wedding.
