DIY Bride: The Theme

💍 Welcome to DIY Bride, Baby! Where Crafty Meets Classy—With a Wink and a Wiggle! 

So, you’re a bride with a vision and a glue gun? Well, hot diggity—you’ve just stepped into the most fabulous corner of wedding planning this side of the tulle aisle! 💋 

DIY Bride is your go-to guide for dreamin’, schemin’, and creatin’ the wedding of your dreams—your way. Whether you’re stitching your own veil, designing centerpieces that’ll make your mama swoon, or bossin’ that budget like a beauty queen with a clipboard, we’ve got your back, doll. 

This ain’t your average cookie-cutter wedding manual. Oh no—this is lace, lipstick, and let’s-get-it-DONE energy. So grab your red lipstick, roll up those sleeves, and let’s turn your big day into a handcrafted, head-turning, budget-loving masterpiece. 

🧷 Because when it comes to weddings, you don’t need a planner—just a plan and a little panache. Welcome to the club, gorgeous. Let’s DIY the heck outta that “I Do.” 💒✨ 

Picture it, doll: you’re engaged, you’re giddy, and you’re up to your eyelashes in decisions. Flowers, food, entertainment, colors — it’s enough to make a glamorous gal dizzy! But there’s a trick to cutting through the chaos: choosing a wedding theme first and foremost.

A theme isn’t just fluff and frills — it’s the North Star that guides every decision you make. So grab a martini, kick back, and let’s talk about why having a theme from the outset is a real lifesaver — for your wallet and your peace of mind!


🍕 The Fiscal Benefit (Save Your Dough, Sweetheart!)

Having a theme lets you streamline your choices and avoid needless expenses. Instead of falling in love with everything under the sun — from peacock centerpieces to crystal candelabras — you can filter decisions through a clear, unified style.

Prevention from Overspending: Your theme guides you toward what you need and cuts back on what you don’t.
Bulk Deals: Staying within a color or style lets you buy in bulk and reuse elements across your day.
Consistent Choices: Rental companies, florists, and designers appreciate when you know exactly what you want. That means less trial and error — and less cost — for everyone.


🍕 The Coordination Benefit (Your Wedding Will Look Polished and Put-Together!)

Picture a wedding where everything flows effortlessly — from the invitation suite to the place settings and flowers. That kind of sophisticated unity comes from choosing a clear theme first.

Design Consistency: Your colors, furniture, florals, and lighting will all reflect your chosen style.
Team Synergy: Your vendors can collaborate more easily when they all have a clear direction.
Picture-Perfect Appeal: Your photos will look like they fell straight from a glamorous magazine spread.


🍕 Tips and Tricks (How to Get Started)

Tip 1: Gather Inspiration: Begin with a mood board — physical or digital (hello Pinterest!) — to visualize your style.

Tip 2: Look To Your Story: Are you a glamorous vintage couple or a charming, intimate pair? Let your personalities steer the theme.

Tip 3: Stick To It: Once you choose a direction, resist straying, darling. Consistency is key to a polished, put-together event.

Tip 4: Communicate: Let your vendors know your theme ASAP. The sooner everyone is on the same page, the smoother the planning process.


🍕 Bonus Thoughts (Because We Always Give You That Extra Sprinkle)

➥ Your theme isn’t a straightjacket — it’s a framework. Feel free to put your own twist on it!
➥ If you’re feeling unsure, consider adding a small “common thread”—like a color, flower, or motif—that ties it all together without being heavy-handed.
➥ The best themes reflect your personalities and love story, not just trends. So let your imagination fly, doll!


🚀 So there you have it, sweet cheeks — choosing a theme from the outset isn’t fluff; it’s a necessity for a stylish, cohesive, and wallet-friendly wedding.

southern california cherry pop events Founder Laura kinniburgh

Well, butter my biscuit and call it fate — Laura Kinniburgh was born to plan a party, baby. With more than 20 years of experience wrangling everything from wild backyard birthdays to swoon-worthy weddings, this single mama of three and fearless founder of Cherry Pop Events has turned event chaos into cherry-topped charm one celebration at a time.

Whether she’s designing a dreamy full-service wedding or swooping in as a Day-Of Coordinator superhero, she’s got the eye, the hustle, and the humor to pull it all together without breaking a sweat (or a nail).

When she’s not knee-deep in linens, timelines, and seating charts, Laura’s wrangling her three incredible kids, walking her three rowdy pups, and proving that you can be a powerhouse planner and still make time for pancakes on Sunday.

So, whether you’re lost in the land of “where do I even start?” or just need a fairy godmother in cherry red heels — Laura’s your gal.
