Wedding Inspiration: Choose a Theme

Wedding theme ideas by season

When you first get engaged and are beginning the process of planning your wedding, it may be helpful to choose a theme for the occasion. It can help narrow the focus for locations, colors, attire, and all other aspects of the wedding planning.  For example, if you are interested in a beach theme, it will most likely put the color palette in the blue-green range, the invites and cake might feature shells, and the location may be beach-side.  Here are a few wedding theme inspirations by season:
