This video covers how to use the SmartBride™ Checklist for this module in the most effective manner. The extensive list of wedding styles and wedding themes give you both a chance to check off everything that appeals to you. Then, sleep on it, and come back to the list, and start to narrow it down. Those things that you both identify as important is the starting point for deciding your wedding style and wedding theme.

Hi, and welcome back. In this video we will address step 3 and 4 of Defining Your Vision–the Wedding Style and Wedding Theme.
Let’s start with Step 3. Step 3 helps you define your wedding style. Look over the choices and check off all the ones that appeal to you. Have your fiance also look over the choices and check off all the ones that appeals to him. Which items have 2 checks beside them? There is space for both bride and groom to list their top 1, 2 or 3 wedding style choices. If you are thinking the same way, you will have your final decision before you. If not, I suggest you both sleep on it, and let the ideas settle. Don’t try to force a decision. This is about identifying what you think. In a few days, when you have time, the two of you can come back to it to finalize things. In the meantime, move on to Step 4.
Step 4 is about identifying a wedding theme. Again, both of you should just check off those things that appeal to you. See where your choices are the same, and talk about those wedding themes. The themes you see here have been gleaned from a variety of wedding favour manufacturers, so if you choose any of these themes, you will have wedding favours to enhance that theme. If none of these themes appeal to you, come up with your own. A wedding theme should reflect your tastes, your style and your personality. There is a video in the resources section that talks specifically about how to choose a wedding theme. Check that out if this list does not appeal to you.
Again, there is space for both bride and groom to list their top 1, 2 or 3 wedding theme choices. There is no need to finalize your thoughts now. By time you finish this SmartBrideTM Checklist, you might find that your priorities have changed—-or tomorrow you might be thinking differently. That’s ok. This is a process, and it’s ok to change your mind on the way to your final decision.
The next video in this module will cover Steps 5 and 6, so when you are ready, watch that video.
