Lets Play…Name that theme!

Many of you brought up a good point on the Centerpieces election…

Its hard to vote when you don’t know the theme, I mean, really what platforms are those centerpieces running on anyway? I’m sorry to say, and I know I’m being really bad when I say this but… we don’t really have a theme. We’ve just sort of picked what we liked. So far things have been vintage, found, recycled, repurposed, modern, feathered, and eclectic. When pushed by Mom D’orsay I told her our theme was “the Great Gatsby goes camping sans tragedy”. Yup – I don’t know what that really means either.

I always thought themes belonged in books and plays. If they were to belong to an event it would be to a high school prom-think “under the sea”. Then I realized that our wedding is a bit like a story, or really its part of our story. Which is unexpected, caring, international and silly (I tried to limit myself to 4 words).

Thus you, my mother, Mr. D’orsay and that annoying voice in my head have walked me over to the place where I must choose a theme. Instead of finding a theme, I made an inspiration board. Be kind, its only my second one ever:

So, what is my theme and can you give it a name? What about you, what are your themes?
