Does your perfect wedding day include visions of people sighing
and moon-eyed at the ethereal atmosphere you have dedicated
countless hours to achieving? Perhaps you even love those golden
round-faced little angels called cherubs?
A cherub theme wedding can make your wedding fantasy a reality.
This versatile theme can be adorable, elegant or even humorous.
The choice is yours, and here are some fun ideas to get you
started.
Invitations
Your invitation and save the day cards are a great way to
introduce your cherub theme wedding to your guests. If you want
an elegant atmosphere, consider using an embossed cherub or pair
of cherubs on your stationary. Gold or silver leaf can also add
an elegant ethereal charm.
For a more personal touch, use baby pictures of you and your
fiance as the cherub faces—just add wings and a halo. Adorable
full color cherub stationary in gold and burgundy is also easy
to find and an appropriate way to introduce your theme.
The Ceremony
With many theme weddings every detail will be obviously
restating the theme over and over. Although cherub theme
weddings are adorable do not go overboard by having them
everywhere. Instead have a few well-placed cherubs on your
programs or perhaps holding a swag of tulle or ribbon above a
doorway or on an arch. Then accent the rest of the ceremony with
colors that compliment your cherubs.
One of the more popular color combinations is burgundy and gold;
however, do not hesitate to choose other color combinations that
please you. You can make the cherub theme work with almost any
color combination; pinks and reds work especially well.
The Cake
Top your cake with an adorable cherub or set of cherubs in white
or crystal. Use a subtle texture on the cake to add
sophistication and accent with the color of your choice. Flower
petals would look especially lovely and keep with the fantasy
appeal of your cherub theme wedding.
You could also forgo the cherubs on the cake altogether and
perhaps have a cute cherub embossed on your dessert napkins. If
a cherub mold is available, you may be able to have mints in the
shape of cherubs. Play with an accent or two, but remember that
less is more.
The Reception
What could be sweeter than a guest book table with pictures of
your and your spouse as cherubs? Have fun with this and even
make tiny cherubs out of your wedding party and caption them
with their name and role in your wedding. This is a great way
for your guest to get some fun information about your wedding
party and could make for great commentary during the receiving
line.
If you do not have limits on your budget hire a character artist
to sketch your guests into cute little cherubs as favors. You
could also use cherub name place holders, or search for cute
frames topped by cherubs to do double duty as favors and name
place holders. Balloons with cherubs on them are also available
and make a fun option for a more casual wedding.
A cherub theme wedding can be a sweet and elegant way to
celebrate your nuptials. Enjoy the angelic atmosphere and make
the most of your day.
