Wedding Fever

So, a second pair of my friends got proposed to over the weekend –CONGRATS! With all this marriage buzz, it has me in a wedding state of mind. I have always been in love with the idea of a theme wedding or destination wedding. After some research here are some fun ideas that I wanted:

Boys will be boys:
If you’re two sports fans or a marrying a tom-boy then this is an idea. You can simply barrow your favorite team’s colors and use them to help build your wedding theme. This is also a fun opportunity to create sporting invitations, decor, favors, cake design, and food choices. JUST DO IT, it is your reception and meant to be a celebration.

History repeats itself:
I am also entertained by the idea of a vintage wedding. Is the Victorian age inspiring you? How about the mobster and speakeasy twenties or the glamorous fifties?

With the Victorian age, you could plan a wedding around a formal Victorian garden or a bridal party with parasols, lace gloves, beautiful blooms, and vintage-look invitations are definitely needed for this theme era. My favorite though, is the 1920s, with roaring speakeasies, decadence, slim dresses/pin striped suites, and pearl necklaces. Fun-loving, this era gave us some of the best of men’s fashion and jazz music.

Walks on the Beach:
My all time favorite is the beach wedding. Wouldn’t it be amazing to exchange vows as a destination wedding Puerto Vallarta? There are some great locations for a destination wedding in Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta or Cabo. Themed with beautifully light pastels and breezy clothes, what could be better than paradise with the love of your life and closest friends and family.
