It is a good idea to select a theme for your wedding before embarking on the journey of making wedding plans. By having a theme in mind, you will find it easier to make decisions when it comes to making your bookings for your gowns, location and other wedding items.

A well-planned theme wedding also gives you the pleasure of knowing your guests will attend a memorable wedding, where everything has been well thought out & executed for their maximum enjoyment. Your "es-theme" will rise knowing your guests will leave your wedding with sweet memories of how personal & different your wedding was. A theme wedding also offers a good reflection of you & your partners personalities as you incorporate your likes & hobbies into the scheme of themes.... and what better time to do this than at the start of your lives together.

We offer you some suggestions of easy-to-implement themes but do not stop here. Let your imagination run wild as you put together a wedding that is meaningful to you and enjoyable for your guests. Talk to a reputable Wedding Consultant if you need help with the "how-to’s", the "where-to’s" and the "how-much?"

TIPS

Having a Theme Wedding will require good planning. Here are some of the things to look out for:

Food. While selecting a menu that suits your theme, be sensitive to the needs of ALL your guests. There may be racial, age-group &/or religious considerations.

Location. Be sure to decide if you want to have an indoor or outdoor wedding. Have an estimate of the number of guests you will be having on-hand before booking a site.

Decoration. Get help from friends or hire a Professional.

Outfits. Inform your designer of the theme you are having and listen to his/her suggestions. Do remember to wear only something you can be move around comfortably in.

Favours. Something in line with the wedding theme so guests have something to take home with them.

Guests. Choose a theme your guests will be comfortable with. You may not be able to please everyone but be sure to have something appropriate. If your theme involves guest participation, give them ample time to get involved. If not, surprise them!
