@misscupcake2012: well, what type of wedding are you having? I would say my wedding is more of your classic type of wedding. It's at a large banquet hall. Im doing a lot of traditional type decor. Im not sure if I want an actual "theme." I think I just want it to look pretty....using bright colors since it will be summer...I have huge centerpieces...I told my florist I want the room to look kinda tropical/rainforest-y.
@gelaine22: Yeah, FI and I are more traditional. Probably should have included that... Heh. 
We want a church wedding, and will probably have our reception at a banquet hall or someplace like that. He's kind of a country boy, so we will have a few things that are country-esque, such as an old bible as our ring pillow, and mason jars somewhere (just because we actually want a bunch for canning) but other than that, I'm looking at pretty traditional.
Our colors are burgundy (think the color of a rose), teal, and white.
To add....my ballroom's chandeliers look almost blingy so Im getting rhinestone table number frames and there are crystals hanging from the cetnerpiece candelabras. Our centerpieces have roses, hydrangea, hanging amaranthus, birds of paradise, gerbera daisies and these bamboo looking shoots at the top. For the ceremony space we are doing a lot of tall cylinder vases with floating candles and strings of orchids
@gelaine22: Oh, that sounds breath-taking! Very dreamy and tropical! I love it!
EDIT: Oh, and whatever the chairs in the first picture are covered in, they are wayyyy better than those ugly huge white covers I usually see on chair in the ceremony spaces!
@misscupcake2012: I get a lot of ideas from here. Also, some of the brides on here with the large budgets have had what I consider to be traditional ideas. Most people in NJ have a traditional type wedding so I look at local photographers' blogs for ideas. I also look at my venue's facebook to see what others have done in that same space.
ETA: the apples are our favors
@misscupcake2012: If you go on Pinterest you can type in anything and find great ideas. I also like style me pretty and, like I said, photographers' blogs.
We're doing an elegant, classic reception at a historic manor which I understand is the trend for 2014. You'll find some Pinteresting examples if you Google "Gatsby wedding," "1920's wedding," and "Downton Abbey inspired wedding." Not fussy, just simple and timeless.
@gelaine22: Thanks so much! The local photographers thing is a great idea! And I would LOVE to get that as a favor! Yum!
@leftcoastleisure: Ooh, good idea with the Gatsby wedding search. FI and I have both read it back in high school. There's something just so... intruiging about that time period that seems timeless.
@misscupcake2012: Agreed! "Art deco wedding" is another useful search term. Best wishes as you begin formulating your theme!
@misscupcake2012: im having a Key themed wedding the feel im trying to go for is classy,romantic,elegant with a Vintage twist ; ) please let me know what you think
the wedding is Key themed caz my FH gave me the key to his heart on valentines day when we met we were friends for a while we had both given up on love and in that time that we were friends we had Unlocked love in both of our hearts at a time when we thought all the good guys/girld were gone we found Love and romance in eachother ; ) so our wedding theme is UnLocking love Key themed.

ceremony on the water
@misscupcake2012: we are having an elegant wedding, no theme, just upscale, actually the theme can be "upscale on a cash diet" i am trying to get the most expensive look on the lowest budget possible..hahah. fingers crossed!
colours reb black and white...and no i will not do damask!
I actually purchased all my own tall vases form the dollar store and www.thevaseplace.com. still trying to figure out the flower details....since this is "upscale on a cash diet" and I know upscale weddings have BIG DRAMATIC centerpeices I figures doing BIG DRAMATIC flowers of baby's breath or some other lower cost flower will give me the big effect on a smaller budget...
I will not be buying any vintage props...or woodsy decor. Although I must say my venue...very very vintage (literally)...built around 1840/1850 converted factory to ballroom restaurant/boutique hotel....and my dress is lace...but I was going more for the regal look her (princess kate and grace...sorta vintage..but not in a shabby way..haha).
I'm having a modern-polka dot theme wedding. Colors are kelly green and canary yellow (spring wedding). Polka dot ribbon on the bridesmaid flowers. I'm getting custom painted polka dot shoes. Flowers are just a mix of green, yellow, and white blooms. That's my actual tablecloths I'm using and the cake inspired mine.
@AquaRhapsody87: This is one of the best ideas for a theme I have come across! I love the look of polka dots.
@Vikstar: I only have a slight obsession with polka dots :)
@Vikstar: I only have a slight obsession with polka dots :) I'm trying not to go overboard though, I don't want it to look cheesy and like a little kids party.
We're having a nerd/stuff-we-like theme! The feel is very chill/fun/celebrating our mutual weirdness.
Our centerpieces will be test tubes in racks, filled with colored water and paper flowers made out of maps (we travel a lot) and pages from our favorite books.
Me and the bridesmaids are carrying parasols instead of flowers.
We're folding 1000 paper cranes as a tribute to the fact that we met in Japan and he took us back there to propose.
We're naming our tables after fictional spacecraft. (TARDIS, Serenity, Bebop, Enterprise...)
Our attire will be kind of steampunk-lite, he calls it "sky pirate." He's wearing a regency cutaway tailcoat, I'm wearing a black and white corset with a black and white edwardian style skirt.
We're using a vivid purple and a bright teal as our colors.
@AquaRhapsody87: I'm sure you will pull it off and it will look great. Those inspiration pictures you posted don't look children's party-ish at all.

Some inspiration pics from my pinterest
Hey, ya'll! I've been looking around for ideas for my wedding next year, and there is obviously a lot of vintage/rustic/country/shabby chic weddings--which I need to say, I ADORE. I think they're very beautiful and elegant, but it's just not my FI and I's style.
I'm just curious, for those brides (or grooms) out there who aren't having that kind of wedding, what are you doing for your theme if you have one, what's the feel of your wedding, what are your colors, and what are you doing for your centerpieces, etc.? Any details or inspiration pictures? I'm having a hard time finding any besides vintage or rustic ones. Thanks so much!
