What's your wedding theme?
Mine is natural/woodsy. My colors are green, brown, and ivory. It's going to be at a lodge on a lake and we are having BBQ. I made table numbers by painting rocks, my mom is doing the flowers with many of the flowers from our gardens. Our cake topper is two turtles http://www.jwcaketops.com/animals/turtle.htm, and the cake stand is going to be made out of a log with our initials carved in. I got this for our card box: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=43533278. My mom likes to make fun of me, saying it is a swamp theme, or Shrek theme!

Re: What's your wedding theme?
Ours is at a vineyard so it's a wine theme...wine bottles with corks will have the name of wineries that we have visited together, there will be wine corks glued together and tied with a ribbon around them in our colors holding a picture of us at that winery, there will be the same wine cork holder holding a brief story about us at that winery aka was it a bike trip that we stopped at the winery, a winery where we had our first date etc. We will also have another wine bottle on each table with the food courses and then a 3rd bottle with the bar menu on it.
My mom is making our sheet cakes for us at her bakery and we will have just a small round simple cake for the cake cutting.
We're doing a guestbook by taking pictures of the guests and having wedding ad libs and a message card on a scrapbook sheet that they will then sign and write on.
Our colors are chocolate brown, lavedar and ivory.

Seriously, I think the closest we came to a wedding theme was decorating with light. Instead of having flower centerpieces at the reception, we had candles. We also had uplighting on the walls, and 127 paper lanterns. Since our reception venue had black walls and no windows, the lighting effects were really striking.

[QUOTE]Our themes were "wedding" and "cheap". Seriously though, we didn't have a theme, since themes tend to be either literal or a misinterpretation of the word, imo. But we did strive for a casual country feel and we incorporated some irish and celtic traditions into it.

<div>Ha, yes. My theme is also 'wedding'! I don't have a theme so to speak. I didn't want to feel restricted in any way. We are having a band and alcohol and lots of food. </div>
I wouldn't say that I really have a theme. I'm getting married a week before Christmas, so they'll our reception location would already be decorated for the holidays. But we're not playing up Christmas as a theme. My colors are eggplant and ivory with gold accents.

Our "theme" is a Spanish Wedding
The colors are Aqua, Teal & Dark Red

That said, we're having a fall/Halloween/gothic theme.
[QUOTE]Our theme is "He gives me butterflies" and our colors are gold and light pink with cream accents. We didn't go overboard with the butterflies, but we'll have floating butterfly candles in the centerpieces, butterfly luminaries at the outdoor cocktail hour, our signature drink is a "Butterfly Kiss", and there's a tiny gold butterfly on our invitations.

Too bad you don't live in Indianapolis. You could have gotten married in the Butterfly Garden at the zoo.

Our vibe would have to be Summer/Outdoor/Light & Airy/ Clean/ Sparkly/ Open Bar/ wonderful DJ
Our venue is a beautifully restored historical home with an outdoor gazebo with cobblestone walkway for the ceremony, and a huge restored white barn for the reception.
The paved walkways will be lined with hundreds of white paper bags lit with candles.
Our tables have cracked glass vases with light blue hydrangeas and curly willow with small hanging paper lanterns, matching cracked glass candle holders, and ice blue candle holders that match the paper lanterns, all on white linen. We will have 100 lit ice blue paper lanterns hanging from the exposed wood beam ceilings.
I am folding hundreds of white paper cranes to hang as the backdrop for our ice blue wedding cake.
We will have a candy station with all blue and white candy in different sized and shaped glass jars and bowls.
And a fully stocked open bar thanks to my in-laws
I wonder if 'subtle asain' could be my theme? No one in any of our families are asain, so it makes me feel like a poser, but we do have paper cranes, paper lanterns, and paper fans for our outdoor ceremony.
