After the wedding date is set, wedding theme is one of the next thing the bride and the groom need to think about. It is because, wedding theme will have something to do with the venue and other details of the wedding.
Allen and I did not think of having a wedding theme. What we have consider is just to have a wedding color motif. Before we book our ceremony and reception venue San Antonio De Padua and Taal Vista, Allen and I had discussed what wedding color we may use and these are: (1) Chocolate Brown and Turquoise, (2) Black and White, (3) Royal blue and Silver.
These are the colors that we really like, but of course we have to choose 1 set of colors. And we came up of having Chocolate Brown, Turquoise, with the touch of silver. Why chocolate brown? - Allen and I are really bias on this color, specially when choosing our garments most of them are in shades of brown. Why Turquoise? - blue is my favorite color, since we cannot pair blue to brown because they are both dark, we check the color palette and check colors with shade of blue that can be combine to chocolate brown, and that is how we came up with Turquoise. And since, we want it to be more elegant we added the color silver for an accent. :)
April 8, 2010 - we went to Joann (a fabric and craft store at Del Amo Mall - Torrance California) to finalize our wedding color, with the help of my brother who is a graphic artist. We came up on the swatches below:
While planning is still on-going, we came up with an idea of having a fairytale wedding - since Allen and I really dream of this wedding since Year 2008 and now that it is happening because we keep on believing... as the song goes "No matter how your heart is grieving, If you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true"....
But having a wedding theme is really expensive, for the fact that you have to coincide every wedding details such as the arrangement, wedding favors, invitations, etc. And deciding a wedding theme should come first before booking a venue - because the look of the venue shall coincide with the theme. (For a fairytale venue - a bride and groom can consider to have garden venue such as fernwood, fernbrook, etc)
Anyway, Allen and I already have our wedding venue before we came up with our wedding theme. For us not to spend so much with our wedding theme, Allen and I decided to have an elegant fairytale wedding theme to some of our wedding favors only and that includes our wedding motto "Happily Ever After", our wedding logo, wedding stationery, and other wedding favors that we can afford. For Allen and I had promised that we will stick to our budget, since we really want to save for our house and business.
Below are some of the fairytale wedding favors inspiration we have...
Having a fairytale wedding is unlimited, there is no limit the way Allen and I can really go and plan the wedding of our dreams. Every little of our wedding plans and preparations may be touched by a magic wand, with the help of our Godmothers (I'm referring to our family and friends). I can say, this is the start of our "Happily Ever After".
