I was totally inspired when I saw the city scape invitations by Kenzie Kate. I feel that sometimes when people think of "themes" for a wedding they don't realize the potential that there is!
A theme doesn't have to be an era, or a particular style, it can be ANYTHING. If you met your fiance at a Starbucks you can do a coffee theme with Tiramisu in place of cake, centerpieces with dark luxurious coffee beans filling the bottom of the vases, and satchels of coffee beans as favors. If your favorite weekend activity is camping you can choose a venue with a fire pit have guests making S'mores during your outdoor reception which can include miniature versions of all your favorite "camping" foods (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.), with lanterns on each table and stars overhead. A theme does not have to be popular, it should be something that is meaningful to you as a couple, or something that you both love! A theme also doesn't have to be in-your-face obvious, small touches can give your wedding the unique and personalized feel that you want while ensuring that your wedding still looks timeless!

CLICK ON STYLE BOARD TO SEE THE WHOLE THING!!
This weeks inspiration is Chloe! Chloe is 10 (That should be right, and if not I expect her to contact me within 30 seconds of posting to let me know). She is crafty, creative, fun, social, and unique. For her I chose pinks and purples because she is all girl; she has always loved pretty things, knowing everything about everyone, and making things. The cake was chosen mainly because it totally fits her crafty style, it is an idea from Martha Stewart Weddings that uses tissue paper for the decoration... something I can totally see Chloe doing. The strong colors show confidence and strength while the wedding gown is feminine and romantic and I felt that the combination of looks truly showcases Chloe's personality.
