Hey everyone! I thought since this is a brides to be group it'd be fun to hear alittle more about everyone's weddings and their theme.
My weddings about two years away but we're getting alot of the planning out of the way now so it'll be less stressful the closer we get! My theme is Colorado Mountain Wedding with a special emphasis on butterflies and wild flowers!
What's your theme??

If I had to put at theme to my wedding it would be Simple and Elegant. Were doing it ourselves on a $3,000 budget so we can't get to extravagant.0

We don't really have a theme. I'm refusing to do much planning beyond the absolute necessities because, well, I don't do so well with such things. We're not even going to have a reception the same day as the wedding. It's going to be a few months later and that may have some sort of theme, but most likely not.
As it is now, the largest purchase for us is going to be the cloaks we ordered since we want our wedding to be outside in the mountains in March. It'll either be nice or snowing, either way they'll be nice to have. We're also both nerds/geeks and are big fans of fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, RPG, and rennaisance festival type things so if anything we'll be leaning in the direction of that sort of not quite real fantasy or rennaisance theme, sans the decorations or obvious attire. I want the meadow and woods and water and snow (hopefully recent but not blizzarding) to be our decorations. I have as of yet to decide if I want to try to have a fire going as well since that would probably be nice for the guests since many won't be so well prepared with awesome wool cloaks. ;-)0 -
Since I just got engaged I haven't really decided on a theme yet but I like spa and earthy colors. Simple and elegant for me too. Im pretty sure we will be on a budget as well so we will do a lot of beautiful diy projects. I don't want to go into debt for a wedding so I won't be too extravagant. I also want family to be my theme. I will only have one friend in my wedding party and the rest family. Family is forever and friends come and go. Would love some ideas on how to incorporate all our fav fam members if anyone has any =D0

Ours is going to be kind of like an Italian/winery/vineyard type theme. Going to use empty wine bottles and grapes for parts of the centerpieces, and flowers will be deep purples with some dark red. B-maids dresses will be short and black. The wedding itself will be outside, and then the dinner for the reception will be an Italian buffet.0

Do you only have to have 1 theme? lol
Our theme is "us". Really. I'm carrying a peacock fan instead of flowers, our centerpieces will probably be asian inspired, my gown is having Hidden Mickey's sown on it...
So I guess it's just "us"! And since we're a cohesive team - I'm sure it'll come together beautifully in the end.

Not really a theme..but we're getting married in the mountains (ceremony by a lake and reception in the lake house which is essentially a modern cabin). So I'm going with a "rustic chic" look. Glamourous yet outdoorsy. We'll be using a lot of local wildflowers and our caterer is doing a cake stand made of an aspen tree trunk and carving our initials into it with a heart around it :-) Things like that.0

We are doing something similar with the carvings. I saved something like this long before I was even engaged cause I liked it so much. This isn't exactly it because I'm not on the right computer but regardless I am going to try and make them myself ;D

We are still figuring out a specific theme but we are looking for unique - something non-traditional and very memorable. Perhaps a vineyard or a barn.0

I love the aspen tree trunk cake stand. I recently saw one with tea light holder drilled into the trunk as well0 -
Mines a more glamorous/elegant theme. It's going to be at night time (ceremony starts at 6) so we wanted it to have a very elegant feel to it. Our colors are plum, pewter, ivory, and black. We're very lucky to have the people we have around us. My god father is an interior designer so he's planning the wedding/reception/decoration at no cost to us. It's really fortunate. Lot's of our stuff is DIY but beautiful!0

WE havent so much got a 'theme' more of a colour scheme - sage green and chcoclate brown (sounds hideous but it goes together lovely!!) We have incorporated the chocolate brown as we are getting married the weekend before easter!! I havent really planned anything else Im trying not to until next year - I want to enjoy christmas first! Lots of lovely themes and ideas on here! x0

I'm having a pretty traditional Catholic wedding. And the reception is going to be pretty "vintage-y". It will be in an old mansion (at one point used for a temporary white house for Coolidge when the real one was under renovation!) It is going to be pretty "classic DC".0

when your date hun?? love the colour scheme .. are you having it in doors out???0 -
I know I am a little behind on this one, but I'm joining in anyway.
We are doing a fun, bright colored theme that really encompasses the fun, freee spirited "us." Each of our bridesmaids will be in a different bubblegum color (bright pink, green, blue and purple). Table clothes are black with runners alternating from table to table matching the colors of the bridesmaids. Our centerpieces are three different sized vessels with candy in them (also the take home gift). It's really fun! 0
