I don't think themes are necessary, just make sure it all looks cohesive. So if you want to use cherry blossoms on the paper, use them! Maybe you can do a cherry blossom kit as a favor, or have your escort cards have the design. Those little touches count more, in my opinion, than a hit-you-in-the-face-obvious theme.
No need for a theme. Or if really want one, you can call yours "garden"... Just don't worry about it and enjoy the planning!
Agreed - it's not necessary, but it helps focus you in as you're selecting things to make it look cohesive.
As long as you've got colors that work together and things are of a similar style (nothing overly fancy with overly casual) you'll be fine!
Good luck and enjoy it!!!
I think themes are okay if you have a) the money, b) the time and c) everything can fall into place. Don't stress about it though. If the flowers you want are out of season, and you can find something else that fits, go for it. The only 'theme' to my wedding is the token colour, which is pale blue. I can go nuts!
[I, at one point, got so peeved about the 'blue' thing that I even suggested we go rainbow and have everything in any colour I fancied at the time of buying it!]
I don't have a bouquet. I am going to carry whatever I can find in my garden on the day - at the moment by best friend/honorary gardener says it might be leeks or tomatoes - I am easy with whatever he can come up with!
As long as you have a colour scheme to make everything cohesive, you don't necessarily need a theme. I like Hirondelle's suggestion of a garden theme. That doesn't mean you have to place flowers everywhere though.
I don't have a "theme" either, and it's not necessary. As long as everything coordinates together, you're fine. I personally think themes are silly, I'm not into the whole matching thing anyway.
Thank you girls!! i think I am going to just leave out the cherry blossoms :)
We have no theme either. if there was a theme, it'd be food, and more food. And food.
It's fine. The color is a theme initself. You can always try a light theme. For instance, my lighter theme was snowflakes and lavender(the color).
I don't have a theme. Just a color scheme would be nice and it looks like you already have that going on. :)
I think you're fine without a theme but I just thought of something: I know you love cherry blossoms (me too! so pretty) but won't cherries themselves be in season that time of year? Instead of cherry blossoms, why not cherries to go with your deep purple and pink colors?
We do have colors and an overall look for the wedding, but I always just thought our theme was "We're getting married!" I don't feel like we need more than that. I think themes can be really fun if executed well, but if they're not they can feel kind of gimmicky. Everyone has their own style! I definitely don't think it's ours, though.
I was a bit taken aback when people first started asking me about my theme. I never knew I needed one! And you really don't. I think the main point of a wedding theme is just to try to keep the decor and other elements cohesive. But it's really not a necessity.
I guess I only sort of have a theme. I'm going with the art deco look to all of my paper products, but I'm not dressing like a flapper (or worse, lol, making my girls do it). I'm just using it to tie my design schemes together. Like everyone said before though, if you pick out a couple of fonts to use on everything and stick to your colors, you're going to have a great cohesive look.
I think it's fine not to have a theme. We don't really have one either :)
I'm with the other poster, my theme is wedding AKA "People in love, finally making it official"
I get so annoyed with this whole obession that you have to have some grand OVERALL theme. I have a enough to freaking worry about. Like how I'm gonna pay for this joint.
i think your theme is "marriage" hahaha thats what i always tell people when they ask me. i think its totally fine and fairly common to not have a theme.

At first I really wanted a cherry blossom theme, have our invites, a programs, our place cards, favors, centerpieces, everything cherry blossom but our wedding is in June and cherry blossoms are out of season and I do not want fake flowers or anything. I love Calla Lilies and Peonies and Lisianthus flowers but I wasnt sure how well they would tie into everything if I have cherry blossom themed items everywhere. My colors are dark purple (Lapis) and a light pink (because of the cherry blossoms) But I'm having a change of heart about the cherry blossoms not, and if I dont include them I wont have a theme, it will just be a purple and pink wedding... is that okay?!
