Theme Mania

I found some great theme ideas from Micah at her blog Micanonymous. If you are stuck for ideas, Micah has posted 30 different types of motifs and themes that would make a great starting point.

Here's a few of my favourites:

Romantica

The dress in this board reminds me of Casablanca in the Gower collection by Stephanie Allin (see below). I think this dress would be perfect for a Romantic themed wedding as it is very elegant, curvy and light as a feather. The little butterfly detail on the waist is ultra cute!

Cherry Blossom

A very unsual motif for a wedding which is why I love it! It has a beautiful shade of pink and creates a real feminine touch. Finding a ceremony site that had blossom trees could be tricky but would be a wonderful backdrop to your vows!

Countryside

I just love yellow, and can't get enough right now. This country setting really suits it better than I've seen it anywhere else. The board really fires up my imagination and conjures up images of honey jar favours, bumble bee invitations, and picnic lunches.

Modern Beach

The beach theme has been done many different ways. What I like about this one is that it is very crisp, modern and fresh, and retains some elegance without being too casual. My favourite detail is the beach weathered bottles. I can see this being teamed with driftwood for an ecletic effect.

Summer Fun

There's a bit of rustic charm in this board which no doubt means it will be a big hit with me. The colours really pop and remind me of hot summer. It left great first impressions but somehow still leaves me wanting more. Hmm, can't suss out what though.

Winter Sparkle

A really magical winter style. Wow to the cake!

Shabby Chic

Who doesn't like shabby chic? Fast becoming a popular theme for weddings these days. A good tip as demonstrated by this board is to layer different shades from the same palette and keep it light.

Butterfly Motif

Again, another popular choice. So popular that although it used to attract me, I'm now kind of put off it. Don't get me wrong, it's still a beautiful focus for a wedding and there so much material and merchandise available in this motif, that you are more likely to commit butterfly wedding overload. I'd say that if you chose this one, don't use it in absolutely everything. Hand pick where you want the motif to appear, and keep it original and unexpected. (That cupcake case would definitely be in my list!)

Hope you enjoyed the inspiration blast this week.
