Themed Weddings

I had the pleasure if witnessing a themed wedding. The Emerald City was the theme from The Wizard of Oz of course.

The bride had a dress that was white, but there was a criss cross pattern in the dress similar to that of the plaid found in Dorothy's dress.  She had a bouquet highlighted with green and ruby red shoes that sparkled.  She married in a place that was similar to a palace, it wasn't green but it was large.  I was hoping for the yellow brick road but no luck lol.

At the reception the hall was highlighted with green, there were signs indicating the direction to 'The Emerald City' and drinks were themed from characters from the movie.  The programs appeared to be 'Playbills', an interesting choice. This also gives you the idea to use it for any type of wedding. They tell the couples 'story' and who everyone is with little images of them next to the paragraphs and more.  A lot of fun.


I officiated a wedding that was a steam punk theme. Now this was fun as the bride tells me the colors are blue, white and like an orange along with octopus and submarines! Can you imagine a phone call like that!


Well the groomsmen were all dressed like something that reminded me of Doctor Who, with the pin stripe vests, pants, bulky ties with top hats and that pocket watch with the chain in their pockets.  The bridesmaids all had the same skirts but various tops, some had goggles on their heads, high boots along with stripped stockings!  The brides dress 'transformed' after the ceremony! The front part of the dress was removable and it appeared as she was wearing a mini dress with a super long tail.  The octopus was in her hair bow as well as in all their necklaces, the submarine were in stitched into the dress.

I loved it!  It was the perfect themed wedding I've ever attended and a lot of fun.
