One of the most challenging things in planning a wedding is conceptualizing the theme. When Steven and I were still dating, we honestly talk about our future. One time, we were talking about our wedding, and we decided we wanted a picnic style wedding. Something like a barn set-up or a barbecue set-up. Very laid back. I started thinking of the set-up, the decorations and the outfit. It was perfect, in my head atleast. It all started because I wanted to wear cowboy boots on my wedding. I'm a big fan of country music and country fashion. I love the idea of boots and wedding dress. Plus, I think we'd save a lot of money if we do that. But things changed. The next theme we thought about was the zombie wedding theme. Why? We love The Walking Dead! I started thinking, it would be cool if the guests would wear something creepy. Again, I started thinking of decorations and food specifically. I wanted it to be odd but eatable (lol, is that even a word?). I even started thinking about our entrance, I wanted something really creepy. We also thought, we wouldn't have to spend as much on the wedding dress and suit, and I love the idea of being the creepiest of them all. Haha! I'm weird. I know. Steven too, because he agreed with me. lol But then again, things changed.
I started thinking about my parents, since we're a Christian, would it be right to have a wedding like that? I started liking the traditional wedding. I want to be a princess for a day, I want to see my mom and dad cry (a good cry! okay?), I want to see Steven, waiting for me on the other end, I want to walk down the aisle, I want to exchange romantic vows with my fiance. I want it all.
And so, I started conceptualizing again. And I liked the idea of vintage! But as I researched, I learned that it's pretty common. But I still like the idea of vintage! Then, I thought of something unique. Something that would describe us. Something geeky and romantic at the same time. Geeky, because obviously we're both geeks. I'm somewhat geek but not too much, Steven is geeky. He knows a lot of stuff, lol! Romantic, because it's a wedding!! Haha! Plus, Steven said when he thinks of wedding, he thinks it has pink. Like romantic. And I was once inlove with pink, so I think there's no problem!
And so, earlier today, I thought about how we would combine those things in our wedding. I searched Pinterest, and saw this.
Pretty, right?! We just have to decide what kinds of flowers to use so the decorations will be consistent. I'd be researching about flowers in the future. For now, I'll be looking for decorations.
We won't turn full scientist, we just have to look for geeky decorations. I honestly don't like some of the things that popped out of pinterest when I was searching for geeky ideas. It was all superheros, comics and some TV shows. I know it's geeky but yeah, I don't like it. Haha! So I searched on scientist wedding, literature wedding, math wedding, etc. And pick the things I like, that I know Steven would like too.
We will also put some ideas of travel theme, like maps. Since we're on long distance relationship and vintage baggages. I also combined some from literature, math and garden themes. I am confident it will go well in our wedding. ;)
I was thinking, during the ceremony, everything will be Vintage Garden. And once the Cocktail Hour starts, there would be a hint of Geekiness, but not dominant. And once they enter the Reception Area, it would be Vintage Geek Chic with a hint of Garden.
You might be thinking, how does it go well? How does it work? Well, you'll see on our future posts. ;)
I am glad that when I told Steven about the concept, he liked it! And I am willing to push through this theme! I am confident that it's quite unique! :)
