Wedding Plans: Pick A Theme!   by Luca Salamone

Trying something different!? Now this doesn’t have mean reciting your vows whilst free-falling at 120 mph.

The little touches can really make a difference. You don’t have to step to far from tradition to introduce some new exciting ideas. There are various themes available to suit all tastes, more than you think actually.

I’ve been to quite a few weddings and I must admit I breathe a sigh of relief whenever I see that the bride and groom have changed something and thought outside of the box.

Outlined are just a few of the themes you may want to consider for your wedding day. Just remember, you don’t have to subscribe religiously to every last detail. On the other hand you may come up with some of your own unique ideas.

MEDIEVAL WEDDING:

Knights, castles, cathedrals, Jousting and chivalry!

This theme can be as extreme as you like-well!?… It depends on the venue I suppose. It can be applied throughout the ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception.

Here are a few suggestions to help you in creating a medieval theme for your wedding day.

*Search for the right sort of venue. Places that have stained glass windows, suits of armour and medieval banqueting halls are your best choices. Some venues will completely cater for this style of wedding.

* Consider using lots of candles to light the venue. This would be especially nice during the ceremony – very romantic!

* If you are feeling adventurous try arriving on horseback, though you may want to skip this one if you’re accident prone.

* Send scrolled invitations to all your guests, sealed with wax and tied with ribbon.

* Have a medieval banquet. As long as your family and friends don’t mind eating with their hands and a dagger!

* If you want to go all out, hire a collection of medieval costumes-though you’ll have some explaining to do in years to come when showing your grandchildren the family photos.

* Hire a harpist for the ceremony and medieval banquet. Some venues will supply Jesters and singing wenches when you book their medieval banquet.

LAS Vegas Wedding:

Do you want the lights but not the 15 hour flight? Try this on for size! Turn your Wedding Reception into an all dancing, all singing city that never sleeps (Well not until the venues licence runs out anyway).

This is one theme to get excited about, especially if you like glitter and gambling!

Here are a few suggestions.

* Hire a fun casino. Ask them to set up a few tables for the evening reception. You can give your guests fun money to gamble with, and then award a prize to whoever wins the most at the end of the night.

* Use poker theme place card holders for the tables.

* Arrive in style! Pull up in a glitzy white limousine.

* Hire a singer to schmooze around and entertain your guests.

* Experiment with lighting, glitter, confetti and favours. There are a few websites out there that provide for the whole Las Vegas theme.

* Hire a cocktail waitress to serve snacks and large OTT cocktails.

WILD WEST WEDDING:

If you’d really like for your wedding to off with a bang, the Wild West theme is sure to do the trick. Planning a wedding can never be more fun when planning something such as this. It gives the blokes an excuse to carry around plastic guns, plus the dance floor is guaranteed to be packed all night long.

Here are a few suggestions -

* Firstly you must bring the West into your wedding. Think about marquees, barns, back gardens or any dry areas.

* Use hay bales for seating.

* Arrive by horse and carriage.

* Try incorporating western quotes into the ceremony.

* Experiment with old horse shoes.

* Be creative with the invitations. You may want to invite half as cowboys and half as Indians!?!

* Use named Sherriff’s badges instead of name Place Cards.

Here are just a few of the possible themes you can use for your wedding day, not including the:

* Romeo & Juliet wedding
* Scottish wedding
* Jungle wedding
* Hollywood wedding
* Biker wedding

…The list can go on and on. There are no rules so just have fun.
