wedding mansionWe’ve got a message from a future bride, asking us to detail a bit the topic of theme weddings.

Themed weddings are the best way to offer your guests a memorable experience, which they will wish to share with all their friends. Here you can find a few ideas:

The Zen Wedding

  • main feature: simplicity
  • dominant colors: red and black (you can go for a Chinese restaurant)
  • decorations: orchids, bamboo, paper lamps, pagodas, bonsai, paper fans
  • Chinese food: you can serve them with chopsticks (but make sure you have also normal cuttlery available, for preventing some of your guests to get nervous)
  • invitations: make them in origami shapes, and use satin, glossy paper
  • music: relaxing, with Chinese bells tones (except for the moments you wish to dance)
  • wedding dress: kimono-style
  • wedding favors: fortune cookies
  • wedding cake: it can have a pagoda shape.

The Cinderella Wedding

  • main characteristic: ball atmosphere
  • place: very wide, with columns, marble, chandelier lights
  • decorations: balloons, giant ribbons, candles in shapes of carriages and pumpkins
  • set up: the bride and the groom can arrive at the ceremony in a horse carriage (or a retro car)
  • wedding dress: princess-like, decorated with Swarovski crystals or pearls (if you are superstitious, don’t use pearls, it is said that they bring tears)
  • bridal shoes: transparent, glass-like
  • wedding favors: small crystal shoes or hearts, with interior laser engravings
  • music: musical theme from Beauty and the Beast, or Walt Disney’s Cinderella
  • wedding cake: castle-like
