Wedding Themes for the Seasons
Deciding how to organize the style of your wedding theme can be one of the hardest decisions. Want a tip? Use the date of your wedding to inspire your creativity. Each seasons brings an image of color and style. Choose which seasons suit’s the needs of your gown and décor. Autumn Theme
Typically, Autumn weather tends to be on the cool side. The summer flowers have begun to disappear, but the Fall colors of nature have taken their place. Earth tones and textures will definitely set the tone for your wedding. By incorporating ‘warmer’ colors and textures into this wedding theme, you’re creating a inviting environment for your bridal party and guests. Embrace Autumn colors, such as: brown, rust, copper, red, terra cotta, and gold. You can easily arrange tables in a ‘harvest theme’ with fruits and candles bearing typical Fall Colors. Set each place card on a large leaf shaped fabric napkin. Decorate the reception hall with a rustic look. Dried wheat, berries, and grasses can make an excellent touch. Serve foods that are simple and ‘warm’ in nature. Fruits, soups, cheeses, home-made bread, seasonal vegetables, and pumpkin pie should delight your guests. Winter Theme
Although most couples opt to have their weddings in warmer weather, winter weddings can be very elegant and appealing. This festive time of year embraces warmth and the glowing lights of candles. It’s a very romantic time that emphasizes the idea of togetherness. Silver and gold are very traditional winter colors. They blend very well together and can be beautifully incorporated into your wedding decorations. Instead of red roses, why not choose a bouquet of white roses? This will look especially spectacular if you have a hint of silver and/or gold in your wedding accessories. Create an ambient environment with candles and white Christmas lights. Break tradition! Instead of having a white wedding cake, Get a three tiered chocolate wedding cake accented with white décor. Spring Theme
Spring is an exciting time of year to get married. The world is alive and about again after a long hibernation. The morning dew and the smell of rain is refreshing and romantic. Pastel colors sprout from the earth, as we start to smell the faint aroma of tulips and daffodils. These flowers would work perfectly in your Spring wedding theme. Pastel colors are soft, subtle, and elegant. You can decorate your tables with small potted daffodils and use flower-seeds as a wedding favor for your guests. Candles and ivy can bring a warm ‘garden feel’ to the atmosphere. Summer Theme
It’s the most popular time of year for couples to tie the knot. Summer weather brings the promise of gorgeous flowers, comfortable attire, and delicious foods from mother nature. Decorate with bright colors. Why not organize a tropical wedding? Spice it up and dress your bridesmaids in lime, orange, or hot pink. Forget about tuxedos for the men, how about bright colors for shirts and comfortable suits? Salads, vegetables, pink champagne, and light foods are the way to go for your meal. You should always offer your guests something slightly more extravagant for the main course, but these light dishes have a ‘summer feel’ to them.
