Themes are a plenty for weddings. Season themes can center around autumn leaves, winter snowflakes, spring flowers or summer sunshine. Geographic themes can highlight the architecture of the city, the food of a region or a faraway country. Themes can be based on decades, cultures, hobbies, occupations, fairy tales or a wide variety of things.
Many of people have asked us what our wedding theme is going to be. That’s a more complicated question than they realize. As shown in my Pinterest inspiration, everything from ampersands, sprinkles, sports nods and jewel tones have been on my mind during the early planning stages. None of those items seemed to wrap up into a theme I’ve heard of before.
I often tell friends and family members who are planning their wedding to come up with three words that they want their guests to think of about the wedding. So I tried this strategy to help with me defining my theme. If I had to choose three words, I would go with fun, bright and love.
I want our wedding to reflect us, the goofball, football-loving, kitty parents who have a large family, energetic friends and a ton of love for each other. I think the best way to describe it is love & sprinkles. We want our love to shine during the wedding, ampersands will be featured throughout and we will have sprinkles of color throughout the wedding (and probably even the small sugar confections).
So there, it is. Our theme is love & sprinkles. It may not make much sense to people now but I’m hoping it’ll be very clear at the wedding.
Do you have an obvious theme for your wedding? Or did you have to create your own theme name like we did?
