Make The Most Of Your Wedding Theme Decorations

When you choose a special theme for your wedding day, you want everything to reflect it and contribute to it. Wedding theme decorations can be as simple as in-season flowers, or as elaborate as rose arches for a garden wedding. Your colors, decorations, centerpieces, wedding favors - even your cake topper - can all help set the mood and further your wedding theme.

If you've chosen an Asian theme for your wedding, decorate with tones of gold and red. Pagoda lanterns strung across the ceilings can lend a festive air to a Chinese style wedding. For a Japanese theme, use cool tones of blue and green and draw your table decorations from nature. You can create a stunning centerpiece for a Japanese wedding table with a flat glass bowl, river rocks, glass bubbles and floating tea light candles.

Little accents can go a long way toward reinforcing the mood you want to set without being blatant. For a Country and Western themed wedding, for instance, top the wedding cake with a white Stetson resting against a gleaming pearl horseshoe - pointing toward the sky to keep the luck.

For centerpiece decorations at an island style wedding, look to the sea for inspiration. Many floral distributors sell large conch shells for $5 to $10. Set one in the middle of a mirrored round and spill dendrobium orchids and trailing vines from its center.

A homespun, country style wedding might feature gingham checked tablecloths and woven napkin rings. Decorate tables with baskets of wildflowers - be sure to include daisies, the symbol of true love. Instead of tulle, top wedding favor boxes with rounds of colorful gingham cut with pinking shears and filled with mints or potpourri.


Continue the charming wedding theme decorations with garlands of fresh princess pine edging the head table, and lay a bouquet of fresh wildflowers at each place setting. Don't get elaborate - keep the simplicity by tying a satin ribbon around the stems and letting the beauty of the blooms make their own statement.

You can invoke the romance of a bygone era with wedding decorations in the Victorian theme. Sumptuous lace and pearl beading recall the grace and formality of Victorian era weddings. For an unusual wedding centerpiece, mound flowers around a replica gaslight lantern candle holder.

Add a touch of whimsy to the table decorations with wire-frame place card holders in the shape of miniature ice cream parlor chairs. Wedding favors for a Victorian wedding are easy to make - think potpourri, lace, pearl beads and ribbons.

One of the most popular wedding themes is a fairy tale wedding, complete with a horse-drawn coach for the bride and groom. To accent the magical splendor of fairy tales, create centerpieces using a porcelain coach with gold trim as a vase for pale pink roses.

A lovely and unusual wedding favor for a Cinderella themed wedding is a glass slipper - shop around for key chains, bottle openers, or other decorative and useful items in the shape of the Princess' lost shoe.

No matter what theme you base your wedding decorations around; you'll find favors, flowers, centerpieces, cake toppers and more to suit the mood and the style. Your wedding theme decorations can form the perfect backdrop for the most special day of your life.
