The photo above sparked my imagination so much so that I just had to dedicate an entire post to it.  My first thought was Carnival Themed Wedding! Who doesn’t love to visit a carnival with all its fun games, delicious treats, exhilarating rides and array of colors. It brings back such wonderful memories of a time full of frivolity, whimsy, excitement, and giddiness- a simpler time without all the complications of adulthood.

It is the perfect theme for that couple looking for something a little more outside the box.  This couple wants an atmosphere that encourages their guests to have fun and leave their worries at the door. This couple doesn’t shy away from color, instead they welcome all the colors of the rainbow. This couple doesn’t conform to protocol, rules, or expectations, because they march, no, dance to the beat of their own drum.  They don’t want to fuss with a rigid seating chart, dictate what their guests should or should not wear, and they don’t stress about attaining perfection. Perfection is a word that is not in their vocabulary. Imperfections are welcomed. Quirkiness is encouraged. Anything unusual and unique gets a thumbs up from this couple. Their main goal is to plan an unforgettable wedding that is fun, exciting, and entertaining for their beloved friends and family, and they intend to have a great time in the process.

I had such a great time creating this mood board and I hope that you are drawn to it so much so you end up creating YOUR very own Carnival Themed event.

Throw out all the rules when planning such a magnificent event.  No color is off limits, the more unusual the detail the better, handmade favors are a big YES, no tux at this event, comfy dance shoes are a MUST, and the word of the day is…F-U-N.
