Your wedding will be much more personal for you and your guests if it has some relation to you, your life and your interests together as a couple. Something you feel passionate about.

You can turn your idea into a theme or just have one element that unites everything throughout the wedding.

For instance, if you are Red Sox or Yankee fans, you could use the team colors for ties, dresses, flowers and/or linens. Personalize m&m’s with your team name. Name tables after your favorite players.

Love the outdoors? Ferns, wildflowers and branches could be used in the church arrangements and centerpieces. Small seedlings wrapped in burlap could be favors and table numbers painted on wood.

Are you passionate about sunflowers? Use sunflowers for everything!

They look great with chocolate brown or sage green dresses. Sunflower seed packs for favors. Your guests will remember your wedding while watching their flowers grow.

If you are wine lovers, centerpieces with grapes or grapevines, small personalized wine bottles or wine stoppers for favors.

Burgundy colored linens with tables named after favorite wines or wineries!

Old movie buffs? Have a black and white wedding, instead of table numbers, your favorite movies or movie stars could identify each table. Vintage dresses,

vintage style invitations and feathers used in centerpieces!

Or you could just use any color you love. Turquoise blue, hot pink, orange, blue! Any color looks great! Coordinate everything around one or two colors.

Shoes, linens, candles, flowers, dresses and ties.

It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just one thing that ties everything together will make your event more memorable and fun.
