Antique Theme Wedding

I met this couple last week,

And their theme is antique.

We shop at flea markets,

To find the right targets.

We pick up a few things,

From plates to napkin rings.

They love vintage too,

And their color is French blue.

We will set up decorations,

With our unique creations!

From suitcases to bird cages

And antique book pages.

I will create a vision,

With exact precision.

After they say I do,

They send out a big thank you!

To the happy couple,

May you always want to cuddle!

Their décor was one of a kind,

And it will be remembered in our minds.

What a great wedding day of love,

We are so glad to be a part of.

The newlyweds left in a restored truck,

We wish them all the best of luck!

Wedding footwear by Katie Aldrich Sarasota Planner

Here is an interesting fact about the shoes that are worn by a bride:

Shoes Tied on the Car Bumper

Brides' shoes once were considered to be symbols of authority and possession. They used to be taken from her when she was led to the wedding place, and given to the groom by her father, affecting the transfer of his authority to her husband and as a sign that the husband now had possession of her (and she couldn't run away). The new husband then tapped her on the head to show his new role as her master.

It is obvious why this doesn't continue, but it helps to explain why we tie shoes to the back of the get-away car. Incidentally, the ever-popular horn honking has its beginnings in the days when brides traveled in open carriages. They were an easy target for evil spirits, so defenders would use bells and firecrackers to scare them away. No chance of any spirits getting in your way -- it's honeymoon or bust!

Women are always on the hunt for their perfect pair of shoes and when it comes to their wedding day there is no exception.  Brides worry about the shoes just as much as the dress. Their shoes have to match the dress and if they are having a party dress they will need a second pair of shoes.  There are so many reasons for women to buy shoes their wedding day is just one more but more special. 

There are so many styles of shoes that a bride must figure out her taste, style and comfort level.

There are style trendsetter brides, simple brides, diva brides, extravagant brides and even country western brides.  I love finding shoes that can go with a bridal gown but also be worn after the wedding for special occasions or every day use.

Here are some bridal shoe options and alternatives:

Themed Weddings

Themes a good or bad idea at weddings?

Weddings are the happiest day of the bride and groom’s lives.  It is the beginning of their wonderful journey together in the world. 

When I was planning for my wedding everyone always asked me what is your theme?  To me I did not have a theme.  If I did I would consider it to be my husband and I but that just sounds odd.  We used a lot of things with two hearts that interlocked with each other so I guess you could say two hearts was our theme. 

Now there are brides with crazy wild themes such as living dead, the Wizard of Oz, butterflies, Las Vegas, eras and decades, Paris France, country western and more. 

I think themes at weddings can be fun but they can also go very wrong by adding too much or make the decorations too costumey.  Weddings are the time to make sure the bride and groom are having the most fun they can and which may mean adding some key pieces to create a wedding and reception how they like it.  It should be done subtly and not too out there and crazy. 

David Tutera of My Fair Weddings also has to tone done the decorations and little favors and sometimes even the attire.  The key to decorating a wedding and reception is to show off the bride and groom with their theme with little subtle hints to bring it all together.  Remember keep it classy and fun!  http://www.davidtutera.com/dt_weddings.php
