Tips for Using Your Colour Scheme and Wedding Theme Throughout Your Wedding

We made our own save the date cards, which were simple pieces of text with a thistle and white rose in the corners. They were then placed on colour backgrounds, either red, blue or green. The wedding invitations were more elegant and we had them done professionally. They used the thistle and the rose but didn’t quite include the colour scheme.

It doesn’t matter what type of theme or scheme you have, you can include them on these invites. I’ve seen butterflies, hearts, the elegance of a simple wedding theme and even a music gig style. One friend went all out with his wedding theme being included in the invitations. He and his wife had a music gig theme and the invitations were tickets for the gig. Along with that came some terms and conditions that were set up very similar to a gig.

Your bridesmaids need dresses and the groomsmen need ties and outfits. Use your colour scheme for these. I had one bridesmaid and the flower girl (my sister and sister-in-law) in green, two in red and two in blue (one couldn’t make it on the day as she was in hospital though). The groomsmen all had red ties and the ushers had blue ones. This was the easiest way to incorporate our colour scheme into the day.

All the bridesmaids had special corsages too. They were tartan bands for the wrist with a white rose and two thistles intertwined. I had the same but with my grandmother’s prayer book, which I used to walk down the aisle with. All the men had thistles for their buttonholes and we made thistle and rose corsages for the women in the bridal party.

This was a very simple way for use to involve our wedding theme for those who were part of the wedding theme. You will find something that works for your theme. For example, a butterfly theme could have butterfly corsages around the wrists or love hearts could be added into the hair. The music gig wedding I mentioned has a 1930s style to it and all the bridesmaid dresses had that style to continue the theme.

The wedding cake is something that all your guests want to see and it’s your chance to really incorporate your wedding theme or colour scheme. There are different ways to do this, depending on the type of cake that you choose. Cupcakes can be covered in the scheme’s icing while the wedding cake can have a topper or decoration that matches the theme.

It is also worth thinking about the decorations around the cake. Add flowers that match your scheme or items that work with the theme. The music wedding was called the “ball and chain” tour. The topper was a ball and chain but there were other musical decorations surrounding it.

Did you ever wonder if there was a way to add your wedding theme to your wedding favours? This can be a little difficult but adding a colour scheme is definitely possible. This does depend on the type of wedding favours that you have. When you use sweets and small treats like this, you will likely have bags or boxes. These can be in your wedding colours.

Incorporating your wedding theme is possible if you use something other than sweets or you could use national sweets. Have a think and use your imagination for ways that you can do it all.

Once the wedding is all over, the hard work isn’t done. You need to send off thank you cards to thank people for attending and the gifts that you received. There’s no need to spend a lot of money on these but you can keep your theme going. Opt for something similar to your save the date cards or wedding invitations to add your theme or colour scheme on the thank you cards.

Use your imagination. You will soon find ways of adding your wedding theme or colour scheme throughout your big day. Nothing is impossible, whether it is to let guests know in the wedding invites or to continue it through with your wedding favours. Hopefully the ideas above helped get that creativity flowing.
