This will get the wedding ball rolling. Traditionally it is the bride in a white flowing gown accompanied by your man in a nice, black tuxedo. Today weddings can be just as unique as you are.

Today bridal gowns can come in a variety of colors. The traditional white is nice, but it is not the only option. You can even have gloves, headpieces, ribbons, and sashes in a variety of colors to make your wedding stand out. For the groom an untraditional white jacket can be worn especially if your wedding is barefoot at the beach.

Your fairytale event can take place just about anywhere that you can imagine. The beach is a popular place and so are church weddings, but the themes have been updated.

The color of your wedding can be the theme for the entire process. You can use one color or a combination of hues. They can incorporate into the decorations like the flowers, bridesmaid dresses, tablecloths and other various details for the wedding.

Wedding themes can be a variety of things. Love is a great way to go with an emphasis on Valentine’s Day.

Even a simple down home country wedding can be elegant. Gothic weddings, nautical themes, and medieval themes are also quite popular. You can even base a wedding off a popular icon like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe.

Whatever you choose one thing is for sure. The love that you have will be evident at your wedding. The theme should be the choice of you and your husband. It can be whatever you want since the wedding is your special day. Choose something that you love and go wild with the idea. You and your friends will have a very special day to remember always.
