Carnival Themed Weddings - A Break from the Traditional
It’s summer time and you know what that means!
The carnival is coming to town and you have a wedding to plan :)
Themed weddings can be a break from the traditional church going crowd.
Imagine having a Pie-in-your-Face stand instead of the traditional smearing of the cake all over your significant other. Or how about fresh popped popcorn as a welcome munchie? We know the birdies like it better than rice.
From the invitations to the person who pronounces you husband and wife (or ringmaster and ringmistress) you can have a themed wedding to fill your carny desires!

DIY Photo Props
 |
| Carnival Printable Package by Paper and Cake |
Okay so you can go out an buy amazing top of the line, high quality photo props for your special day or.....save a ton of moola by buying 'printable' props. I mean come on!! Are you really going to remember them anyway? More than likely the person in charge of collecting the props will have had one too many and will not remember. Save yourself the embarrassing conversation later and just do these DIY props :)
 |
| Ikea Mirror |
 |
| Deep Thoughts Rectangle by Goldylocks |
 |
| Pink Ink Studios |
All of those are great DIY printable props but just in case your printer sucks or you just don't have time for DIY these are a cute and still reasonable alternative!!!!

Offbeat and Traditional Wedding
Maybe you’re one of those brides who come from a very conservative family and so you are compelled to have a traditional wedding even though you really want to have a something a bit different. The good news is you can have offbeat wedding while keeping your tradition! How? Simply put a twist to it. Make your wedding fun by adding an offbeat touch!
Wedding Dress: You can have long traditional wedding gown with a twist…make your gown more interesting by using a vibrant colour for the petticoat. Wouldn’t be so fantastic if your favourite colour is peeking out from under your white long gown while you’re walking down the aisle?
Wedding Reception. First dance as a couple, toast, groom removing and throwing the bride’s garter, brides throwing a bouquet, etc.etc…You can still have traditional wedding reception just add a little something special to it. You can make your reception a celebration to remember by using unique, fun signs and banners!
Integrating offbeat touches in your traditional wedding ceremony is very easy. Just think outside of the box and be bold and creative.

Veil. Instead of wearing a traditional veil be more flirty and fun and wear a sexy fascinator instead.
Bouquet. Get a stunning paper flower bouquet that will last a lifetime! Aside from that it’s really unique and it’s very eco friendly too!
Accessories. Be more adventurous! Instead of wearing traditional pieces of jewelry try using unique and exciting accessories.
Shoes. You can never go wrong with white shoes for a wedding. However you can add more pizzazz to your outfit by wearing colourful, sexy shoes! Pair it up with a delicious matching purse!
