Wedding bike theme: It could lead to a wheely long marriage!

Horse drawn carriages offer a grand entrance to a wedding. However, they are rarely
an option to get you to and from the other places you need to go. A limousine adds a
classy touch. It does relieve you from any driving issues you may have if perhaps things
get wild and crazy during the festivities; however one of the most interesting exits I've
heard about was the bride and groom exiting on a bicycle. So why not turn your exit
transportation into a theme.

From the table setting and the invitations to the transportation, theme weddings are
becoming increasing popular. With the green trend going so strong every day we see
more and more options and ideas that are are environmentally and socially conscious,
ideas with style and integrity. Depending on your site, you can make a truly grand
exit via a bike.



So rather than jumping into a limo after your reception, take off on a bike. Capitalize on
that magic by attaching old-fashioned wedding bells, streamers and of course, a "Just
Married" sign to the bike basket.

Cycle off in style with the new Chanel bicycle. Not exactly created for mountain treks,
this luxurious two-wheeler adds an adventurous element to the iconic fashion house.
With a quilted leather saddle, handlebars, pump and chain guard (so as to not snag
your bridal gown), as well as three quilted bags, you'll be well-equipped to pedal with
panache.



Planning around a central idea - whether you choose a common interest, a shared hobby
or your transportation exit - personalizes the event and adds cohesiveness to your day.

Daisy, Daisy
Give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all
For the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet
Upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two

Sorry. :) I couldn't resist.

It is one of those old-fashioned themes that we are drawn to. Playful and tasteful at the same time.

Love it, Love it! What a fun and unique theme.

Ha! Washington Cube beat me to it. I was totally going to type in those lyrics! But have you ever heard the second verse? I don't know if it's real, or just something my aunt made up...

Joe, Joe,
Here is my answer to
"I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you."
If I can't have a stylish marriage
And you can't afford a carriage,
Then I'll be damned
If I'll be crammed
On a bicycle built for two.

Which I found IMMENSELY entertaining when I was 9 ("OOOO. She said "damned!!"), but is not really in keeping with the spirit of this post...

Fun idea!

I love the theme. And if I could get a chance to get married, I will surely get the same giveaways and theme.

I wish I’d read it before doing my site, but am going back to make some changes. Thanks very much. I was truly reluctant to check out your posts the first time I saw the page layout of your blog.
