8 Wedding Themes That Are Sure To Blow Your Guests Away, And Yes, There's One For July 4th

Bree Moran

When I was a little girl I always wanted to be a wedding planner! Something about weddings just excited me and still does to this day! I love everything that goes into making a couple have the best day of their lives and a great start to their future together! Even though I chose a different profession when I became an adult, I still to this day fantasize as to what it would be like to be a wedding planner. So with that being said I thought of 8 wedding themes that would be very fitting in today's day and age.

1. Disney/Pixar

You can spin this wedding any way you want. As much as I would love to stick to the traditional Mickey and Minnie theme, I would love a Pixar twist involved, as well! Your guests would love to feel that nostalgia of seeing your wedding venue decked out in Pixar/Disney Decor! The bride is sure to feel like a Disney Princess with this theme!

2. Beach Vibes

This is another one where you can put your own spin on it! Whether it's on an actual beach or just set as a beach theme with starfish and sequin decor, this would for sure be a hit for your guests. Ariel and Prince Eric would appreciate your love for the under the sea vibe on your special day!

3. Carnival/Circus

Who wouldn't want to arrive at a wedding and have a cotton candy machine right at the door of the venue? Oh, and we cannot forget about the popcorn machine! Maybe even invite in some trained professional clowns to put a show on for your guests? Hey, it may not be everyone's cup of tea but it sounds like a fun time to me!

4. Flower Power

Anyone else just obsessed with the Woodstock era? I would love to see a venue decked out with flower lighting, lava lamps as centerpieces, and giant peace sign hung up behind the Bride and Grooms table. Not only would the decor be a great add on but you can play all of the music that was played at America's biggest music festival! Jimmy Hendrix would be very impressed!

5. 4th of July Spectacular

This one has to be my favorite concept! Imagine your bridesmaids dressed in sparkly blue and red and groomsmen with American flag ties! Let's not forget your American pride decor that will sure to be a hit with your guests! I can even imagine the cake layered with red, white, and blue with a star that has an American Flag imprinted in it as a topper! Last but not least let's not forget your sparkler send-off with a big firework show to end the night for your guests!

6. A Night in NYC

This would be a great idea for all my fellow theatre nerds out there! Imagine the whole venue with NYC skyline art, twinkling lights to emphasize the city that never sleeps, and every table could be themed a different broadway show! Your invitations could even be a mock playbill! I'd love to have my wedding party come in with some show tunes in the background!

7. A Night at the Movies

Wouldn't it be so amazing to walk into a wedding venue and see a giant projector playing a black and white film of the bride and groom's past pictures together? How cute and how original! Every table could be themed in a different classical movie! I can even imagine seating arrangement cards in the image of a Hollywood star like all the famous movie stars have!

8. The Traditional Wedding

As often as we see this theme, it's always very nice! One of my favorites. Going to the church and following the wedding party to the venue will never get old because it always is so nice!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
