So, one of the first steps besides the budget is to choose a theme or color that best represents you – the bride and groom – as a couple. There are many ways of doing this, like choosing a shared interest, favorite hobby or leisure time activity. I’ve seen Lego Weddings, Book Theme weddings based for favorite books, Movie Themes, Country Weddings – you name it! Some couples love to dance and they base their reception on that.
Some couples just choose a style – like Old World Elegance, Fairytale & Romance, or perhaps Seasonal Themes depicting their favorite time of year…a Winter Wonderland or a Fall Harvest Wedding. A Harry Potter theme has happened as well as The Great Gatsby.
And then there is color. Color can reflect your style and personality as well.
White – Purity, Innocence and Fresh Beginnings
Yellow – Wisdom, Happiness, Intellectual Energy
Pink – Love, Beauty, Fun Personality
Red – Strength, Health, Vitality
Blue – Youth, Peace, Tranquility
Green – Harmony, Balance, Flexible & Unique
Silver – Calmness, Elegance
Gold – Wealth, Power, Tending to Extravagance
Black – Sophisticated, Controlling, Perfectionist, Dominant
So – what’s your color and theme? Be sure to share with us your ideas and we will post our favorite on Facebook next week. Our favorite as voted by our staff will win four FREE tickets to our next bridal show at The Foundry Art Centre on February 18th, 2018. Send you comments to Bride@BrideStLouis.com.
