Themed Weddings

Reach within your creative being and unleash that inner art Diva that is just dying to splatter her artistic energy all over your wedding.  You have one, she's hiding there just below the surface and every time you pick up a Martha Stewart magazine or a Real Simple, she screams- "I can do that- but I'll do it better than that stuffy Stewart!"

At a recent wedding in Corolla, N.C., a creative bride unleashed her inner-art Diva and created a masterpiece that was a delight to photograph. Every detail had her personality and creativity dripping from it and falling into her guests hearts and memories.  She printed a large tree with empty branches and asked the guests to place their thumb print on their new "Family Tree".  Her desert table was filled with peanut-buttery shot glasses, sans alcohol. Shot glasses filled with dessert mousses filled the table surrounding her wedding cake.  A soup bar was established, using ceramic mismatched bowls as a wonderful appetizer for guests.  Funnels of beautiful scrapbook paper attached to sticks were filled with french fries so guests could nibble these greasy delicacies and not have to wipe their hands on their expensive wedding attire.  Even the table settings were covered in her creativity, using a symbol from the night she met her future husband. Bowling pins adorned the table tops as the happy couple met at a bowling alley through mutual friends.

No matter what your budget, tapping into your inner-art Diva will create a lasting memory for you and your guests.  Be sure your photographer is aware of all this special creativity and captures the details prior to the beginning of the festivities.
