GET THE LOOK: Wedding Festival Theme

This theme is inspired by many modern weddings, and is what we'll be having for our 'big day' next May !

Wedding Festivals are a great way to make the most of your celebration, in a relaxed fun setting.  Must haves:  marquee/ti-pi / food vans / bar / music / hay bales / games / lights & vintage dresses

We are adding fancy dress, face painting etc. for the bestial vibe.

GET THE LOOK - Heartbeat Themed Wedding

Inspired by the beautiful song that is Heartbeats by Jose Gonserlez... Just so touching.

Heartbeats as a themed seems hard to achieve, but I see it as a more sophisticated version of the heart themed wedding.

GET THE LOOK - Techno Themed Wedding

Not really sure where the idea for this theme came from, but I was probably laying in bed playing with my iPhone... we are now in a digital world.  Soon we'll be getting married over video conference?  And you can already stream your wedding live over the Internet from many wedding chapels in Las Vegas!

Blue, white, silver and black should be your colour theme... maybe add some smiley faces and glow sticks?

GET THE LOOK - Wind Chime Themed Wedding

Getting married somewhere windy, and want to make the most with some *free* back ground music... go for that ethereal sound of wind chimes!  Also great are coloured ones that collected the light and make beautiful images.  VERY RETRO.

What to do, what to do?  So have you decided what entertainment you will have at your wedding?  I have a whole list:

Marshmallows to roast on the open fire
Fireworks - classic (with sparklers)
Live bands (locally sourced : ))
iPod disco (glow sticks)
Coconut shy
Ring toss
B&G quiz
Board games
Croquet

Does anyone have any other suggestions, we are going to a fun fair/village fete themed wedding?!  Get in touch @bride2bride

GET THE LOOK - Music Themed Wedding

Music is an important part of any wedding, we all love a boogie to some vintage retro tunes late into the night.  Some couples prefer a live band to a DJ, other enjoy a  classic strings during the ceremony. 

For our wedding the venue prefers live bands to DJ's so we are looking at using local bands, I would love a jazz band/swing band and then plugging in the iPod for the retro tunes later in the night!

Well why not take this theme that one step further and make the whole day music related... you could include a singer during the ceremony?  Music notes on the wedding stationery, cream,white and black colour theme.  Or you could make it more like a concert...

The Wedding Singer - no wedding is compete without!
