A lot of work goes into the planning of a fantastic wedding ceremony. As much as the aim is pleasing one’s guest, the inspiration behind selecting wedding accessories should be taken from the bride and the groom’s personal interests and character. Adding a unique twist to the wedding always gives the guest a memorable event that will not wear away very easily.

Since the latest fashion trend amongst couples that are taking a short trip down to the altar is to have a themed wedding then the wedding guest book must co ordinate with the theme. The traditional, baroque, beach and eastern themes are currently topping the wedding charts. Possible reasons why one would like to theme a wedding are numerous and could include the fact that themed weddings are unique and they offer a wide selection that is stunning and also practical.

Rich gold and reds bring out the Chinese or Japanese themed wedding. In light of that the wedding guest book can very well be in those two tones which traditionally represent prosperity and wealth. To enhance the meaning behind the theme one can have Chinese characters printed on the cover of the guestbook. Textures that can be used are silk or satin and gold ribbon can line the edges of the book or can be utilized as a page marker. Usually these come in sets which include a pen set and other accessories.

A fun and portable way to carry all the wedding memories is to use Polaroid pictures. The instant photo guest book is perfect and has a good number of possibilities. Each page could be made up of a photo of the guest who is writing the comment with the bride or groom. That way it will be easier to know which Aunt Nancy wrote the comment. Naturally, a photo of the bride and groom should be on the cover which can be made up of a black lace and a red ribbon bow. Any design can be used for the cover.

With the beach theme the cover of the wedding guest book must be textures in order to give a rough, sandy feeling and a starfish or seashells can be the decorations for the cover. Use of color depends on one’s idea of the beach.

Personalizing the wedding guest book makes it priceless and it decorates the cover too, if the font used is stylish. A handy idea is having prints of the bride and groom’s names as the feint background on the paper. Scents can also liven the guest book and leave a admirable impression to the guests.
