Choosing a Theme for your Big Day

I read a great blog post today about choosing a wedding theme.

Today, a lot more brides and grooms are going beyond the traditional to find a fun and unique theme to personalize their wedding. Everything from a period ball to a Southern style to a beach theme is fair game!

As the post says, when you pick a theme for your wedding day, it makes all of your other decisions a little easier because you can narrow down your choices to focus on the theme.

This post will give you inspiration when you begin to brainstorm about a theme that fits your style and suits you and your fiance!

New Real Couple Story

I've been a little lazy with the "Real Couples" section on Simply Weddings, but I finally posted wedding information about another couple!

Kendra and Justin were married May 31, 2008. Read all about their wedding here!

Local Flower Wholesalers

One of our faithful Simply Weddings readers, Autumn, is in the process of wedding planning and compiled a list of local floral wholesalers. She was amazed at how many there are and thought it would be a great resource for other brides and grooms.

So I'm passing it along - hope this helps for those of you who are looking for a less expensive way to incorporate flowers into your Big Day!
