A customer asked me about this and I thought it would make a good post: What do you do when you want to integrate two divergent themes? First, because I can’t say this enough: you do have to have a theme. Simply piecing things together that you like will confuse your guests and it won’t accurately show how much time and effort you put into your event.
Now, if you want to put together bits and pieces from two themes, it can be done if you do two things:
- Choose one color to represent one theme and a second color for the other and stick to it! Further, be conscientious of how often you use one color or another. In general, they should be used together. For example, if you use blue as your base and pink as your accent/detail color: blue dresses with pink flowers, plus blue candy containers with pink candies, plus blue mounted invites with pink graphics, etc.
- Have one element that is a combination of both themes. For example, have your planner design a custom logo to use on all your paper arts that is both themes together. Then, use the logo on all of your elements to that it’s apparent as to why you are using it.
