There is always that feeling of joy and anticipation in choosing a wedding motif. The theme you pick might just be the element that can help determine other decisions you have to make on your special day. The flowers, favors, food, music, venue, cake, gown, gifts, and everything else can depend on your overall wedding theme; and will make choosing a whole lot easier for you.
Your wedding motif should be something that has some meaning or significance in your life. Ideally, it will be equally special to both the bride and the groom, but not always. You can look to your hobbies, your heritage, and your shared interests as potential sources for the perfect motif for your wedding.
Many brides and grooms share love of a wonderful pet. If you have a dog or a cat that is like a part of your family, there are certainly some fun ways to use them as inspiration. You do not even have to have the pet present at your wedding, if it is not what you have in mind. For instance, at my best friend's wedding, the postage stamps were custom made featuring a photo of the couple's beloved Irish Wolfhound. Another idea would be to have your invitations lined with a customized paper with the silhouette of your furry friend.
Symbols can also be subtle. One trend is to use your astrological sign in the wedding planning. Each sign has a symbol, known as a glyph, that represents it, and most are attractive yet not particularly overt. The symbols for the bride and groom can be used together on everything from souvenir items to wedding programs to venue designs and decorations.
Perhaps you are looking less for a definite symbol and more for a unifying design element for your wedding. Many brides find inspiration in their bridal jewelry. If classic pearl bridal jewelry is your style, then ask your baker to create an all-white wedding cake trimmed with frosting "pearls" at the edge of each tier. More into the sparkle? Then have your florist add crystals to your bouquet and order a crystal monogram to decorate the top of your cake.
Choosing the motif to serve all these doesn’t need to be excessive or intricate. You only need to be a little creative and spontaneous. You may as well consider these tips from Blissful Wedding Philippines.
1. Consider cultural value. For Boholanos with rich and colorful history, look for pieces and colors that can be brought up to fit your wedding theme.
2. Pick a period. Just decide between past, present, or future. Periods in the past may include medieval, Victorian, or even the Stone Age, if you wish. Futuristic themes may involve the use of a lot of lights and metals. As for the present, just stick with what you’ve got. To avoid making the whole festivity seem like a carnival, arrange the items in accents and avoid exaggeration.
3. Decide a venue. This can be the one determining factor that makes your wedding unique. You can choose from the chocolate hills, white sand beaches, or a garden. Just be sure that it matches the culture and period you chose to create an enthralling aura.
4. Choose a personality. This is best selected with your partner. Think of activities and traits that both of you are compatible and find memorable. You may also consider places where you first met or got engaged. You may choose a fairy tale theme, diving adventure, or an animal-filled environment. Your wedding guests are more likely to get interested with the idea behind the theme and drool over your love story. The idea here is not formality, but sentimentality.
5. Pick a season. Choose a season to help you decide on the colors that you’re going to use in your overall theme. Summer would be best represented by earth or golden tones. Wet season provides a more classy and elegant appearance in white or silvery blue with its shades of green and lots of flowers and happy tunes.
6. Pick a time. Decide whether you want to hold the affair at dawn, in the morning, noon, afternoon, or late in the evening. This will further provide your wedding celebration with the final touch it needs to set it in a more romantic and fun-filled mood. Some colors and themes work best in the evening, so choose those that best amplify the other details you previously selected.
Let your creative side be open, and you will find that there are all sorts of symbols and motifs that you can use to personalize your wedding. The fun part will be picking your favorite one. When you have the perfect motif, the rest of the wedding planning will seem to fall into place.
Picking the perfect motif for your wedding should be fun. It can also be a good activity for you and your partner. Wedding guests are most entertained and delighted to share with you the joy of your wedding day in the most heartwarming and comfortable atmosphere.
