Wedding theme for biker couple

[ginny]

Hi there.I'm getting married soon but we don't have a theme for the wedding.
We are both bike riders and we will have motorcycle riding freinds in attendance.
Been watching on here and thinking that perhaps the collective female brains of Kiwibiker could come up with some ideas.
Please come up with some ideas cos I'm all out.

Hi ya!

LOL kinda gonna be in the same boat to a point. But I plan on having bikes play a small role in mine, more the grooms vehicle to and from the venue...
Something that could look cool though could be using a lot of black and Silver together, could give a nice "biker" colour effect!

Good luck!

A wedding is what happens when two people who share genuine joy in one anothers lives choose to join their lives inseperably together.

Handcuffs are cheaper (and can be fun too )

Im sorry if this seems to be a funny question.I'm asking the opinions of people who I was told thought outside the box.
I kinda thought maybee a 50's theme with the guys as Leather jacket,white shirts. The girls in Rock and roll style dresses.

Someone on KB'r must be able to suggest a Banjo player. That where this is headed.

Funny how a perfectly normal and innocuous question can bring so many morons out of the woodwork, huh?...

When I got married I had a limo taking me to the church but I had a motorcycle escort, with riders in front and behind it, all the way there. It was very cool. Bikes all parked up along the front of the church was awesome, and it was actually really fun to have the riders all there in their leathers, mingling with the posh frock and hat brigade!

As for the theme, you haven't said whether or not you're planning to have a low-key do or a high profile one,or what resources you have. One of my friends had a "biker wedding", all black lace and leather, civil ceremony in a park then a BYO barbecue with lots of rock music. We all just went as ourselves, on our bikes, and everyone had a fantastic day and night.

Whatever you decide to do, it will be awesome, because its YOUR day! If your ideas feel right, they probably ARE right. Go with your gut, and do what you want.

Thank you Max.
The plan is for a biker escort to the event.Then ceremony in a park.Then a smallish (35 or so people ) sit down dinner in a place very nearby.
Thinking dressyish but a theme would make deciding that stuff heaps easier.

don't be put off by the catcalls from the peanut gallery ginny ..... haven't got any sensible suggestions to offer, but do wish you luck with it

..... after seeing what a mission it is, tying the knot, the bloke and i have more or less decided to elope/say the words on a stretch of pristine beach somewhere at daybreak and just throw a bit of a party for the troops next time we are over there ........

why dont you have a white leather wedding dress?

Ok so maybe a tad tacky but still totally awesome right?

Or even better, white leather corsett and lingerie set, the g-string might be a bit unconfortable but worth it aftewards ah?

ok so i'm really no help at all. Good luck for your wedding thou and congrats

As for theme, the starting point really is how you want to look, yourself! If you want a meringue dress, or a black and purple lace one, for example, that could help set the tone for the overall theme for everyone else. Start by working out what YOU want to wear, and see what flows from that. 50's rock and roll is real easy, and its always great because it gets the girls in gorgeous dresses, and the boys in rocker gear, it wouldn't be out of place whatever you were wearing yourself, the music is really cheerful/romantic and gets everyone dancing, and you could maybe get a few Rodders with cars from that era to cruise along with you for a while too.

Have you come across this NZ website about themed weddings? http://www.nzweddingplanner.co.nz/br...d-weddings.htm I tried to do a copy/paste but it just came up with a dialogue box regarding it being copyright material so you'll just have to follow the link.

Hope it helps and I hope you have a great day.
