HELP! i need ideas! polka dot wedding theme

You probably won't find anything that looks like a typical bridesmaids dress with polka dots. You might just have to look for regular dresses, maybe even prom type dresses. Or you could possibly have the dresses made. You could also just stick with polka dot accessories and accents throughout the wedding instead of a polka dot printed dress. I think it's a good idea and will give a very fun feel to your wedding, but you're going to have to look outside of the box for the items necessary to carry out the theme. Good luck!

this place has some cute containers for favors.

Look around your area for local dress makers or costume makers...many of the people i know are cheaper than buying at a traditional store and they can make the dresses any style and any fabric (including polka dots!) Depending on the style of dress that you have choosen, you might think about a polka dot sash for the girls dresses. it's not too overwhelming and it's something that can easily be removed to wear the dress on a different occasion. what other wedding items are you looking for with polka dots? you can email me privatly, and i might have some other ideas for items or at least somewhere to find or make items for your wedding. ****************@*****.***

As far as the dresses go, maybe consider just getting and solid color and getting a polka dot sash, as mention before. You can find polka dot fabric at a fabric store, JoAnn fabrics. I think that would be easier, and from a bridesmaid point of view, probably more appreciated. Craft stores sell ribbon with polka dots that you can buy in bulk and be creative with.

ALL of this is very helpful thanks. but i think my biggest problemm is finding decor and things like table cloths and what not.

The polka dot theme is fun and bubbley. When designing the table layout, you have to be careful for it to not look to busy. You may want to seek hot pink and black polka dot items and accent with silver in other ways. For instance, if you are having chargers, consider silver ones or plates with silver trim around the edge. You may want your menu in to reflect the hot pink and black, but then have your napkin folded and tied with a silver ribbon.

Without knowing what your centerpieces are, there is always a way to tie in silver to the centerpiece by using out of the box items. Such as silver ribbon around the vase that holds the flowers or silver framse or easles for the table #'s.

Feel free to email me at ****@***********.*** for more brainstorming....the possibilities are endless.

You always expect to find everything that your looking for. I think your going to have to get creative and make somethings yourself. Like table cloths, if you buy them you can dye polka dots on them, but are you really going to buy table cloths for all of your tables? What will you do with them afterwards? You might have to consider using a plain table cloth and think of something else to give you the polka dot theme. And remember you don't want to overdo your theme, although its a nive theme, there's a point where it can stop looking cute and just a little to polka dot happy.

Hi Adorable,

Have you tried the Los Angeles Garmet District. Located between 9th and Los Angeles street in downtown LA. You can find resonably priced dresses and a wide variety of selections. It's always best to go with your bridesmaids on a Saturday Morning and make a day of it then have lunch at a Mexican Restaruant on Alvera Street (provided you like Mexican food) there is also china town for eating.

Good luck!

In regards to the bridesmaids dresses...polka dots can be added by using a sash or accent on the dress....however if you do want a dress completley covered in polka dots having it custom made is your best bet unless you are able to find them in a retail store based on the sizes and qty needed.... a polka dot ribbon can be added to embellish your invitations or party favors as well...

the invitations, menus, programs or table numbers can be done on a round cardstock .... you can have mini round sign in books (1 per table).....you can see some pics on www.myspace.com/eventsbymariel

The woman who is making my wedding cake has made a cake with your colors and it is really pretty, go to www.sweetwaterbakehouse.com and look through her gallery. You might want to use that as an idea. You could have solid color table linens with a runner in the middle that is polka dot. I would say have the bridesmaids wear pink with a white sash or vice versa. Maybe black an pink. I think if you just have accents of polka dot that would be pretty and then use the colors of the polka dots as your solids. Good luck. Make sure you check out that site because that cake would be perfect for you.

HI,It can be done. If you are in the Baltimore areas, there is a vendor called Gala Cloths- she is located in Reisterstown. Contact me directly and I will give you her information if you can not locate it. I saw a table she did with black and white polka dots. Then you can add pink accessories. I believe she has this in her supply as she had to make it special for another bride. I hope this helps. Let me know.

Hi did you find your gown?

I saw a beautiful wedding gown with polka dots.

Hello, Your unique wedding theme of polka dots is great. Target has alot of polka dot dresses, and accesories. You can find adorable, polka dot tea length bridemaid gowns from Alfred Angelo! They are very cute - and are available in the colors shown as well as black and navy blue. They also have matching junior bridesmaids gowns.

It will all come together.!

Use a circle craft punch (or punches in various sizes) and create paper circles in your colors and scatter them on your tables around your centerpieces. Kind of the same ideas as with flower petals or confetti, but they would be polka dots instead. Just rent some table cloths and scatter them around the table. No need to buy or rent expensive polka dot table cloths or overlays.

Also you could easily take vases, candle holders, or pots and paint dots on them with a cotton ball, pencil eraser or stamp in your wedding colors. Walmart always has a lot of plain clear glass vases, bowls, giant wine and margarita glasses etc. near their craft and floral department for real cheap. You could put flowers, grass, favors, candy, nuts, food of any kind in all sorts of glass containers that are painted with dots. Ooo, you could even paint your champagne glasses with dots, how cute!

I will repost if I think of anything else.

I can think of a million ideas for polka dot invites & stationery.
