Weddings are a romantic time, there is no doubt. If you are looking for a wedding theme to express the idea of love and romance, why not consider the cherub? They have been a symbol of love for hundreds of years, and would make a charming wedding motif.
There are lots of ways to use a cherub motif in your wedding. A good place to start is with your wedding stationary. For your invitations, you can use card stock that has a picture of a cherub printed on it in a soft color, like a faded brown. The motif could be large enough that you print the words right over it, or it could be an accent in a corner. Another idea is to have a tiny gold cherub embossed on the top of your invitations.
The cherub is such a sweet motif that you will want to use it sparingly. The idea is to represent true love without being too happy about it. But it is such a darling theme that it will be fun to put into lots of parts of your wedding design. A great idea is to use little cherubs in unexpected places as a fun little surprise detail.
A beautiful way to use the cherub motif would have to have painted on the vessels for your centerpieces. If you select fairly simple vases or containers, you can have an artist paint or stencil little cherubs onto each one for a custom effect. Because the cherub is such a romantic theme, you will want your flowers to be equally romantic. Think about vases overflowing with garden roses and trailing ivy, for example.
A sweet place to display a cherub is on your bridal accessories. It would be very sweet to have one embroidered on your hankie, along with your wedding date. This also makes a nice gift idea for the mothers and grandsmothers of the bride and groom. If you are planning to have a small purse for your wedding, that would be another place that you could add a cute little cherub.
As with the flowers, the bride will want to make sure that her look is very romantic, and sometimes a bit old fashioned. A long flowing gown, either in a romantic lace or with a full skirt with pick-ups would be ideal. You will want your jewelry to keep with the very romantic look, so consider beautiful crystal bridal jewelry for your earrings and necklace. Sparkling crystal that has been handcrafted into feminine and ornate pieces of bridal jewelry will be the perfect finishing touch for the bride.
There is no reason that the guys can not get in on the act as well. It would be very cute for the groom and his groomsmen to wear socks with a cherub pattern. Another idea would be for them to wear custom cherub print bow ties. If you want a more discreet accent, then how about a great pair of suspenders embroidered with a cherub to be worn under the tuxedo. That would make a fun surprise for the guests when the groom takes off his jacket for dancing at the reception.
When you choose a wedding theme, your imagination is the only limit on how you use it. You want to scatter the motif through your wedding to give it a cohesiveness, without going altogether overboard. The cherub is one of those themes that would be very fun to plan a wedding around.
