Bumping this thread so you can get some ideas

I'm going for a Tiffany theme...

My bridesmaids are going to be in tiffany blue
The bouquets are going to be crystal bouquets in silver and white, buttonholes, corsages and table centres to match
the cake is going to be done like stacked tiffany boxes
Favours are going to be tiffany blue boxes, and inside will be jelly rings and candy necklaces
Invitations are pearlescent pockfolds with a vintage brooch to seal (they look like little handbags)
Tables are going to be names after pieces of jewellery
I'm also hoping to have 60's inspired hair do's

I'm still working on the rest, but Kris is in charge of the cars, and they aren't going to match the rest of the theme!! He has it narrowed down to the General Lee or "Eleanor"

Anyone posted a FOOTBALL THEME?
If not i got loads of ideas. as this is what im having.

Well my h2b and my boy and i went to my first ever footy match few weeks ago - sadly to say im hooked lol.
FOOTBALL THEME -
depending on team colours. but im having:
royal blue and white dress, blue cravats and hankies. football themed cufflinks: footballs, red/yellow cards/fav team
my garter is Chelsea one.
im having bunting made from old chelsea bedding. Which says mr & mrs on it.
Ring cushion isnt the same now. Have now purchased a chelsea teddy bear which will be my sons to keep afterwards, im having the date we get married on the bears back (he has a shirt on) And have a ribbon put on his hand for somewhere to tie the rings on to.
Football ticket invites (example on my pix)
Order of service could be football programmes
table plan : green card (pitch) with football shirts to show the table layout with tables named after Chelsea legends. Such as John Terry, Lampard, Osgood, etc.
Favours: Chocolate footballs.
Kids party /activity bags: football bouncy balls, whistles.
Also have requested a Congrats letter from Chelsea for Groom present. (received it along with congrats letter, signed JT pic)
Im also getting a ladies cut Chelsea top with my new married surname on the back for him/me.
Our cake is cupcakes which will have blue icing and chelsea / football edible sugar paper. And a miniture cake with a unique cake topper with Me (bride) groom and little boy. Boys will be in chelsea kits.
If your budget allows it: you could get married at your chosen football teams home ground. (chelsea wanted £15k - we enquired)
Also have football table trivia.
EDIT -
Present for him - photo shoot with you wearing his fav team shirt. i did it. it was great fun!
Party food bowls - football ones.
football table confetti.
Someone suggested to me about centrepieces: getting a vase that wide enough at the top to hold a miniture footall. Or large enough to fill vases with chocolate footballs.

thank u hunny. If i think of anymore will edit it x

im having a country wildwest theme any ideas would be greatly appreciated especially as the venue is looking to be a hotel need ideas for menu and also i want to do a lot of the table decorations myself but im not quite sure how to fit this in

dannim28 that theme sounds really nice but slightly difficult to work with. I hope you can find some really lovely ideas and decorations etc. You could at least get an interesting photo booth if you can afford one :)

Great thread!
What about all the eras?

20s - Great Gatsby wedding

Sparkly long fitted dress with cap sleeves
(Faux) fur shrug
Finger waves
Elegant art deco jewellery
Art deco fonts on all stationary
Art deco arts (like Tamara de Lempicka) hung up for decoration
Feathers - like ostrich feathers as centre pieces
Bridesmaids are flapper girls
All guests dress up too

30s
less iconic than the 20s but similar elements - no flapper girls

40s - WWII inspired wedding

Long dress with sleeves or cap sleeves
Victory rolls
Bms in knee length 40s dresses
Guys in vintage uniforms
Guests are asked to dress up
lot's of vintage props - radio, phones,
stationary could look like ration books
40s swing music
lot's of vintage crockery

50s - American diner

shorter full skirt dress
mellow brushed out curls
birdcage veil (also applies to previous 2 eras)
big petticoat
colours either typical candy colours pastels or vibrant red and turquoise with black and white
lots of retro sweets
could serve typical American diner food like hamburgers, hot dogs etc.
vintage kitsch props
polka dots
Cadillac

And our theme is not really a theme as such - I also was against a typical matchy matchy theme because I wanted US as the theme. At them moment it's more me :-)

Suppose it's a 50s/whimsical woodland creature theme

I'm a vintage gal so I wear a dress I normally also wear but in white and with a bigger petticoat :-)
The 7 bms have all a colour each (red, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange and pink) and got told to buy any 50s dress they like in their colour with white polka dots. They will all wear white petticoats and white(ish) shoes but whatever style they want.
There will be polka dots everywhere, lot's of bunting and lot's of tissue paper pom poms
We are getting married in a pub under a fake deer head and I collect fawns and toadstools - so they will be heavily featured in the wedding - in the form of 50s vintage kitsch deer pottery, they will accompany antique books as centrepieces
Cake will be cupcakes but the top one a toadstool with a gnome couple on top.
Stationary is not fully decided yet but will be very much likely a 50s cartoon couple talking to each other
Music is very carefully chosen - songs that mean something to our relationship, they don't tie in with the era at all. Well not the majority at least.
The whole wedding will be flower free - I am crocheting my own bouquet and many tissue paper pom poms will substitute for real flowers.
No vintage wedding can exist without moustaches on sticks - and lips on sticks for the ladies
And another strong feature will be cupcakes - I am making cupcake garlands, mini cupcake favours for the kiddies (small stuffed toys) and a cupcake as a ring pillow.
And did I mention polka dots? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeverywhere polka dots :-))

Kimberlee your invitations are brilliant, did you make them or are they from a template? We are also having a footie theme although our football teams are rivals! We did think of speaking to our respective clubs at the end of the season to see if they would give us some of the leftover unused tickets to use as place settings. You have given me some good ideas to be getting on with.

I've seen online a few A Nightmare before Christmas themed weddings

My personal wacky dream - which I'll never have - would be a Las Vegas Wedding. But a really tacky kitschy one with Elvis officiating and some Marilyn double as my witness. I'd wear a totally over the top outfit and even though I don't like bling it needs some rhinestones because after all Elvis is there :-)

Now that's an idea - go there one anniversary (until we can afford this) and get a blessing!

Im having a venetian ball theme... we are incorporating venetian masks into our decorations and table centrepieces and everyone will be wearing masks in the evening for a masked ball. My inspiration is from the film Labyrinth during the dream scene so we are going a bit dramatic! :-)

heyy im having a country theme

My h2b will be wearing moleskin trousers and tatttershall shirt with a tweed waistcoat other the other men except bestman who will be wearing the same as h2b will be wearing the same except waistcoats.
i will be wearing a normal wedding gown.
bridesmaids will be in normal dresses as with flower girl.

personal touches:
stationary has little purple butterflies on it
doing a find the farm animal hunt for the kids
centrepieces will be handmade and hoping to have a country sport such as shooting etc
cake is being made to look like a hay bail

cant think of any other way to make h2b happy by added it in haha!

bumping to the top

I don't know if any one has posted this, My uncle and his wife had only has a few little things in this, but A New York theme.
They got engaged on Brooklyn Bridge so wanted to add a bit of New York into there wedding.
They named all there tables after well known streets and on the table plan, each table was printed on pictures of there places.
I can't really think of anything to to add to this, as I'm not very good at this kind of thing
