Congrats on your engagement! You can do pretty much anything with a theme. If you want low cost tho, i would stay away from anything that has alot of flowers, as that can become pricey really quick. But there are tons of options that are low cost. you can do a beach them and use lots of sea shells and sand, or you can do a romance theme and do everything with candles and white linens, or hmmmm.. i dont know what else without knowing what part of the country you live or what your colors are, but if you like, email me and i will help you come up with some more ideas. I love weddings! I planned mine and helped 2 sisters in law and 3 friends plan theirs!

There are so many things you could do. I got married in October, and the theme for my wedding was fall. Depending on when you get married you could do the same thing (Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter). We chose fall colors for all of the decorations and flowers, and had fall leaves on the table. It was so pretty! You could also think about what some of your favorite things are to do together and use that as a theme, for example a movie theme, a card theme, boat theme, etc. Congrats and happy planning! It is so much fun!

You can do almost ANYTHING!! What are your interests? Try to play that into a theme...

Here's a few ideas...

A Movie Theme (you can rent a popcorn machine, and have a red carpet entrance, and get those cheap "film" photo frames as favors)

Coffee Theme (think browns/tans... coffee/expresso beans)

Halloween Theme (everyone comes in costume...)

Lemon/Lime Theme (use yellow and green for the bridesmaids and groomsmen-centerpieces can be squared vases filled with (real or fake) lemon/lime slices topped with floral arrangements)



Google "wedding themes" and you should be able to get a lot of ideas off that... Be creative, and have FUN!!!!!



Congratulations!!

Don't do a theme. Just pick colors and the style wedding you want. Theme weddings tend to be gimmicky and can kind of take away from the focus of the day, which is you and your fiance.



Our wedding style is contemporary meets vintage. our flowers are super minimalistic and modern, my dress, BM outfits and print materials (menus, invites, programs) are pretty modern as well. We have vintage details throughout, such as vintage labels on our favors and at the candy bar, my hairstyle will be kind of vintagey, and the groom and his groomsmen are wearing vintage-inspired navy blue pinstriped suits.



Styles make more of a statement than a theme.

Congrats on your engagement :)



If I had to choose a "theme" for my wedding, I suppose I'd choose a wine theme or something since I'm located in California and can play along the Napa Winery ideas. I don't know if this would work for you, but I think it'd look very elegant and classy.



Good luck hun

Congratulations on your engagement!



You could do a theme based on your heritage. For example, if you are Irish, you could have several Irish songs played, etc. You could also tie in the beach theme since you are in Florida.



As for budget, I would suggest looking online! There are some great deals on bridesmaids dresses, gowns, etc. Try e-bay :)



Good luck!

finding out on a coloration subject matter or something is distinctive than finding out on a topic matter-subject matter. And, frankly, if you are going to do a topic matter-subject matter it desires to be something like celebrity Wars or something without delay recognizable once you stroll in the room. or you purely finally end up with Romance eternal or destiny continually or another stupid crap meaning no longer something and purely annoys the human beings who're in touch. It feels like your subject matter could be 'wedding ceremony'. that's all the subject matter you decide on.
