Oh there are sooo many good themes! Mine is an elegant winter theme (colors:navy blue, silver and white).
I have seen several different ones... beach(starfish,pale blue, pale yellow and stripes), royal(purple, and LOTS of gold), vegas(red,black and white, cards, martinis), garden(pale colors, garden roses, gold), vintage (gold, gathered antique vases, lace, candles), eco-chic (eco friendly products), regional (local flowers, local food, local entertainment), rock(black, and red, guitar picks, rock music, blood red roses), rustic( checkered table clothes, mason jars, sunflowers), venetian(cream, gold, masks), hamptons( crisp white, eyelet, lemonade, sun hats)
The most important is that you pick a theme that represents you and your fiances as a couple and makes season for the season!
hey ours is a celtic theme, as we are getting married in donegal in ireland.
We're doing a vintage travel sort of thing. But I really love shabby chic as well, Mr. CC said it was too girlie. He would have been happy with navy and orange (his teams colors)!

I think that the best themes are inspired by the both of you as a couple as well as the season and venue. For instance, my fiance and I are both modern/minimalist in nature but a mod look at our rustic spanish venue just didnt' seem appropriate.
Totally inspired by our engagement story, we're playing up the cherry blossom theme! He proposed under a blanket of cherry blossoms in Kyoto, so naturally that's what has inspired us! Because our wedding is in July though and blossoms are not in season, we're playing up the pale pinks throughout the day!
Hope that helps!
Mine is somewhat beachy, Im doing chocolate brown and a teal/turqouise color and using starfish throughout. The starfish will be used for the placecards, Ill have small silver starfish on the menu cards and our invitations have a small silver starfish on them as well. Some other things we are using are ring pillows and flower girl baskets that have swarvorski starfish on them too.

You're getting married in December. Can you do a Christmas theme? You could give ornaments as favors. You could decorate with Christmas trees. And you don' have to be tied to red or green BM dresses.
We are shabby chic-it just kind of evolved when we were playing with tablescapes. Being on a major budget, we were trying to use what we already had, so the table toppers look sort of like Battenburg lace with mixed cut glass, crystal, silver & a couple of mirrored pieces. With cut flowers, it has a casually elegant feeling that is perfect for our morning wedding and brunch reception.

We are doing a Parisian theme in black, white and red with damask accessories. I am very excited about this. We plan on naming each table a different site in Paris (ex) Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge, The Louvre, etc.... Our wedding guest book is old Paris postcards for our guests to write us a message. Each postcard on the table will correspond with the site that table is at. If anyone else has any ideas feel free to chime in and let me know what you think....

We are doing a vintage, old hollywood glam themed wedding with blush pink, black, and ivory with some ivory damask. Our centerpieces are candelabras with hanging crystals on half of the tables and the other half have 4 matching candlestick holders with crystals, along with some flowers.

We're going with a vintage roadtrip theme. It sounds bizarre, but it's working out well. :) Our colors are aqua, navy, and orange. Also sounds a little strange, but they work!
"Walk in the woods"
our flowers are all wildflowers and really garden-y natural earthy flowers, branches in the centerpieces. We have a bird motif running throughout some of the details. we're doing scattered lavender petals instead of rice for the rice toss.

"Simply Autumn Elegance"
We are getting married in MA right smack dab in the middle of peak foliage season and both of us of are simplistc so we are using fall themes along with our colors of ivory,chocolate, burnt orange and champagne
I don't really think we have a theme just colors. We're doing teal, light blue, black with white accents. Not sure what kind of theme that would be
Hi all, thanks for all the great ideas! So I thought about it, since my wedding is in December, I guess it's not a bad idea I do a 'winter' theme. You guys have any suggestions?
hmm for a winter theme i personally love the snowflake theme with navy,silver and white colors and accents. . . also i have seen burgundy,navy, and silver, ; white,black and silver, and christmas colors green,red and gold
We're having a sort of elegant Halloween theme. Our wedding is the day after Halloween and we're having people come dressed in costume based on the theme of famous couples in movies and television. We're naming all of the tables after our favorite geeky couples (Leia and Han from Star Wars, Riker and Troi from Star Trek, Aragorn and Arwen from LOTR, etc). Our colors are burgundy, black, silver, and accents of orange. I have NO idea what to call our theme, but I think it will be a lot of fun!
We are going with a Parisian, baroque theme, damask in black and white, with pops of hot pink and Tiffany Blue. Our centerpieces are vintage silver bowls and pitchers filled with flowers. I love the idea of a theme without going overboard like a prom, it helps to keep your focus with all the great inspiration on WeddingBee. Without the theme I would have changed my mind a million times!
hahaha - egad I love your theme :-)
as for winter ideas - a totally white wedding would look really chic and modern... personally I would go that route if I were celbrating in the winter. It's not to cheesy or christmassy either. Modern minimalism is something we're both into... but that's not for evreryone... This might sounds lame, but like the advice I used for picking out my dress (go through your closet, see what dresses you own because those are the styles you totally rock!) you should do the same for your theme if you're really stuck. Take a stroll through your house, your favorite furniture store even (poterry barn vs z gallery?) and that should give you some inspiration too.
Genealogy is one of our shared passions. So we're doing a "family tree" theme with a vintage feel. Seating card "leaves" will hang from a manzanita tree, each table will feature a differnet surname from either of our family trees with framed photos from each of those families. I really want the centerpieces to look as if they've been passed down through the years, so I've collected a few styles of antiqued mercury glass containers. Plus I've created silhouettes of us that will be on the invites and sprinkled about in other places as our "logo".
For us, it's a great way to honor the generations that have come before us and celebrate the "merging" of our trees. :o)
This is about the only thing I know for sure right now as far as details - we're having a nautical theme! Aside from incorporating seashells, starfish, and sand dollars I haven't made any decisions. I still need to pick a venue! Is anyone familiar with, or no anyone who held their reception at Venetian Pool Coral Gables? I heard they have a 9:30 curfew?
My FI and I are doing a calla lily + red and white theme.

I want to have a theme for my wedding, but I can't come up with one. I like the 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' theme, but my co-worker has already used it. Can any one give me some advice? Something simple, but fun! Thanks!
