Colors
for a Cinderella wedding theme include ivory, pale pink and white. Keep
red down as much as possible in the overall decorations. Your
bridesmaids can carry a bouquet of pink and white roses as well.
Meanwhile,
at the reception, small bouquets of camellia, gardenia, lilacs, tulips
and roses surrounded by white-colored votive candles also create a
great accent for your table tops. For added magical touch, you can
sprinkle table tops with glitter or hang small magic wands from behind
each chair. Serve classic dishes such as chicken or steak on china or
crystal. Also, you may want to go for an ice-sculpture shaped like a
slipper for your cake table.

Think Wild Wild West, for a minute. You can go for an open prairie or grassland. We have the beautiful open pasture and barn.
For weddings having western themes, decorations are very important aspects. To capture that much sought-after western ambiance, gold bows can be used for your venue. You can get these gold bows at any gift or novelty shop, particularly at Christmas time. During this time, gold bows will definitely be at large supply so you can easily get them at any novelty shop. You can also choose to make use of hay bales, to seat your guests. This would make your wedding more interesting and fun at the same time. Horse drawn carriages can be used. And for the whole ceremony, make sure to use country music, or music from the soundtracks of western movies.
Have you noticed the clothes actors and actresses wear on
western movies? The bride usually wears heavy fabrics that come
with long sleeves and much, much lace. For the groom, well, it
is actually much easier. This is because the groom can wear the
simple blue jeans, the typical brown vest, and the common brown
jacket. The groom should, of course, don a hat and boots that
come with spurs. Now, these make perfect clothes for a western
themed wedding. And these are not expensive to come by at
all!
To
add a tropical touch to your wedding ceremony, decorate
your isles, arches and altar with fresh flowers as well.
Or have an outside wedding, and Tiki torches create a great tropical backdrop to
your wedding. Light up these torches for your evening
wedding or use them to hold flowers during a day
ceremony.
Also, play romantic Hawaiian music before, during and after the wedding ceremony. Whether you want a live band or play a disk of Hawaiian love songs, it’s your call. Play the Hawaiian wedding song too instead of playing the usual wedding march song when the bride walks down the aisle. In addition, use orchid petals instead of the usual rose petals during the opening ceremony as well. And for added tropical twist, have the ring bearer hold the ring using an oyster or abalone shell instead of a pillow.
A great way to experience a strong blast from the past is to go with a 1960’s wedding theme (or any other rock and roll theme of which you are a fan).
Why the 1960’s in particular? This is because the 60’s is the decade when good ol’ rock ‘n roll started making waves. This was the time when love-beads laced the fashion industry and the peace sign was considered a household sign. To get in touch with that spirit of 60’s rock and roll, it is better to go with tie-dyed colors of pastel shade. Pink, blue, purple, yellow, green, and orange are great shades for this theme.
The
bride should not wear just the traditional wedding gown at all. What’s
best here is to go with a Chantilly lace wedding dress. The dress
should be short to match the go-go boots and the pill-box hat that come
with the getup. The pill-box hat should come with face netting as well.
Don’t forget the gloves as well! To top it all off, the bride should
have a bouquet of chrysanthemums or daisies. For the lovely
bridesmaids, mini-skirts should definitely be considered. Long skirts
can also be used, but make sure these skirts have flowing cuts. For the
top, peasant blouses and love-beads for adornments can be included. You
can also consider including granny glasses, crocheted vests, and
perhaps, daisy wreath headbands. The bridesmaids can then carry
bouquets of wildflowers or baskets of daisies.
The groom and his groomsmen should not feel left out with the velvet jackets and bell-bottom pants they will be wearing. Fringed or beaded vests can also be used in place of velvet jackets, depending on the preferences of the group. Granny glasses, beaded headbands, and moccasins make great additions as well. The finishing touch, for the groom in particular, can be a necklace bearing a peace sign.
Since
the invitations are the first physical things your guests would see
pertaining to your wedding, then you should also exert a little effort
there. You can use an image of a record album cover that topped the
charts in the 60’s. You can also go with a 45 rpm record instead. Make
sure to include a lot of happy faces, peace symbols, daisies and
endless fields of wildflowers.
