Our professionals have their collective finger on the pulse of what is new, unique, and innovative in weddings and can help you come up with a customized theme that is truly your own. For the 2012 bridal season, themes are going beyond just a color palate to something that ties together the whole event -- from save the date cards to the dessert table.

Many designers are showing beautiful, intricate, Victorian-inspired gowns, and the colors and themes are following suit: romantic, with neutral colors that exude tranquility like beige and pale blue. Themes are all-encompassing and fun, cork and bottle, nautical or sea-side, or vintage.

A theme is fun to choose and should reflect the personalities of the couple -- and by all means, you are not married to the theme (pun intended). If you love a certain bouquet or favor that doesn’t go perfectly with the theme, no one is going to notice. The theme can be as intense as you want it to be -- but it doesn’t have to be everything.

So look around, try to keep it fun, and remember there are two people involved! Sorry, if your fiancé isn’t the Trekkie you wish s/he was, there will be no Enterprise on your wedding day. But we’re sure you’ll come up with a compromise.
