WEDDING PLANNING.

When doing your wedding planning there are two things that you must keep in mind. Firstly you must manage your time carefully up to your wedding date. To achieve this we bring you a wedding countdown to help in meeting your deadlines. Secondly as part of your wedding planning you must do budget management. To help you stay within your budget we provide you with a budget planner.

Both these tools are helpful guidelines in your wedding planning but remember don't be so overwhelmed in sticking to the structures that you forget to enjoy planning your wedding.

THEMED WEDDINGS / PARTIES.

                                    WHAT IS A THEMED WEDDING / PARTY

A wedding theme is simply a certain style choice for your day that you then reflect in your choice of music, decorations, dress code, etc. Theme simplifies the wedding planning process and guides the bride in choosing favors, food, decorations, bridesmaid dresses, colors, flowers, wedding gown and choice of venue.



                                              OR



A wedding or party ‘theme’, is simply a certain style choice for your day that you then reflect in your choice of dress code, invitation, decoration and  music, you name it!



A themed wedding is not for everyone, but if you want to give your big day an air of fun, drama or personality, a well-chosen theme makes for a memorable marriage.



Many brides-to-be are not keen on the idea of a themed wedding, and equate it with tackiness. The key is to remember that a theme can be as elaborate or as subtle as you like. A theme can provide an ideal focus as you plan your wedding.

Whether you choose something like a color, or a particular subject as a theme, etc. a wedding theme will creates a unique mood and style for your celebrations. It can certainly make any wedding extraordinary. In choosing the theme for the occasion, it is very important to consider the ideal characteristics of the wedding desired by the couple, and also the significance of the event.



Many people like to choose a theme related to a season; spring, summer, fall, winter. Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth; a perfect time for the new adventure that a marriage brings. You can have many flowers everywhere and you can use a lot of color. Summer weddings are beset with warmth and sunshine, and allow you to get married outside in good weather. Winter weddings are magical, cinematic and glamorous. You can decorate in all white, and even ride in a cozy carriage through the snow.



If you are looking for an intimate and warm wedding reception, then consider a fall wedding. It is a romantic time for wedding.
There are also other many popular wedding themes like –

    Indian theme wedding
    Disney theme wedding
    Cruise ship wedding
    Beach wedding
    Garden theme wedding
    Romantic wedding
    Christmas wedding
    Color theme wedding
    Fairytale wedding
    Green wedding (eco friendly wedding)
    Victorian era wedding
    Romeo and Juliet wedding

  Medieval wedding:  Scroll-style invitations, a sumptuous banquet and a castle-shaped cake – this theme has the makings of a wedding to remember! Costumes should not be too difficult to come by if you want your guests to look the part.

Winter wonderland wedding:  Twinkling fairy lights, a velvet-cloaked bride, and white blooms tied with silver ribbon – a winter wedding can have a drama and appeal all of its own.

 Seaside-themed wedding:  The sea holds a unique fascination for many people. Shells, sand and pebbles can all be used to good effect in table centres and other decorations, while sticks of personalised seaside rock make fantastic favours!

 1920s-themed wedding:  An Art Deco-style venue, a jazz band, flapper dresses and cocktails can help to recreate the fun-loving spirit of the 1920s.

1940s-themed wedding: Big-band entertainment, a vintage satin gown and a Champagne fountain are just some of the ingredients of a wedding inspired by the 1940s.

 Arabian Nights wedding: Think belly dancers, jewel-coloured fabric draped across the walls and ceiling, platters of Middle Eastern food, and chocolate-coin favours. What fun!

Japanese-themed wedding: A red-and-black colour scheme, bonsai trees as centrepieces, and sushi or noodles on the menu are just a few of the ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Butterfly-themed wedding : More subtle than hearts or flowers but just as romantic, butterflies are a popular and stylish wedding motif. From invitations to favours, and decorations to placecards, you should have no trouble sourcing products to fit in with this pretty wedding theme.

Football-themed wedding: Football stadiums are increasingly popular as wedding venues but if this is a bit out of your league you can still create a footie-themed occasion to remember. Use your team's colours for your décor, name your tables after favourite players, and have the bride throw a football instead of her bouquet!

   A themed wedding inspired by your venue: Already chosen your venue? The building and grounds could be the perfect source of theme ideas for your big day. A country house is perfect for a traditional white-themed wedding, while an Art Deco-style building is crying out for an elegant 1920s theme.

    Ask your venue staff about wedding themes that have been used there before; they may even have photos of the venue dressed in different ways to give you ideas.

    

    Wedding lighting
One of the best ways to create atmosphere at a themed wedding reception – or any other type of reception – is through lighting. Hiring a lighting designer might sound like a drastic – and expensive – step, but it could be the best money you spend. If your venue looks less than glamorous to start with, clever lighting can seriously play down its bad points while highlighting the positives. Getting a quote from some professional lighting designers doesn’t cost anything, and they might have fantastic ideas on making the most of your theme.

    

    Planning your wedding
If you’re planning/organizing your own wedding, you’ll need plenty of help, time, running around  and plenty of materials. Why not try using an Event Planning/Management company? They specialize in every aspect of the planning / organizing  right from the very beginning till the end. All you need do is tell them what you want, how you want it and it will be handled perfectly.

   Decor
The floor and ceiling are both important considerations when decorating your venue. Fabric swags or white fairy lights are good ways of disguising an ugly ceiling, while a hideous carpet can be hidden with some rented flooring – choose from interlocking panels of parquet, or a stylish black-and-white checked effect, depending on your theme and preference. No one need know about the lurid swirly pattern underneath!
