Recently, when idea generating with a June 2010 client, I encouraged them to embrace the uniqueness of their Kansas wedding by celebrating outside during the reception amongst the landscape of prairie grasses, rolling hills with a big sky and a warm sunset. They have chosen the theme 'Prairie Wedding' and as we plan all the small and large details you can look forward to many more blog posts dedicated to this couple.

What I love about the 'Prairie Wedding' theme for this particular couple is that they have embraced the beauty of their home state. They are both from a small town in Kansas and want to have a classy, yet comfortable, wedding that celebrates where they grew up while also blending in the class and style of being a college couple from New York. So, as we are still brainstorming and putting structure to the dreams for their wedding I'm reminded of all the great wedding themes we at MHP have been exposed to.

Megan, the owner and Photographer of MHP, just photographed a wedding for a Professional Bullfighter full of cowboy hats, sunflowers, barns, and southern drawl. The wedding I planned in March for Grace and Sean was a celebration of spring which was reflected in their flowers and colors. And I'll never forget a wedding from last summer where the couple wanted to celebrate their unified love of cats so the reception was decorated with feline touches.

One of my favorite things about being a wedding planner is the unique individuals I come in contact with, and the joy of celebrating their individuality as I help them plan their most special day. So, as you plan and envision your theme remember to stay true to who you are and where you've come from and always remember to celebrate the journey's that have brought you together.
