Is your man, "Your Greek god?" Why not celebrate with an Ancient Greek inspired wedding theme? Not to be confused with a college

toga party, the Ancient Greek theme wedding has been mostly overlooked in recent years. This is probably due to its popularity for

frat and sorority parties on college campuses across the country. Those events are not about elegance and the result is often

tacky. So it's not hard to understand why the theme is not on the tip of a bride's tongue when it's time to pick out a theme for

the wedding.

Still it can be fun and rewarding to play with the ancient Greek architecture and fashions when designing your wedding celebration:

Of course, pulling off any theme reaches beyond the decor of the room. Just like a theater event, the average individual's ability

to embrace an atmosphere depends largely on the appearance of the principle players. That does not mean that in order for you to

pull off an ancient Greek themed wedding that you have to get married in a toga - no way! In fact the toga is not even Greek. It's

the Roman addition to the culture.

Choosing such a wedding theme does mean that your gown and the dress of the rest of your party should be tastefully reminiscent of

the styles favored by the Ancient Greek peoples. As such you should start by commissioning a wedding dress based on a design

inspired by the sculptures of Aphrodite and the timeless beauty of ancient Greek clothing styles in general. Then add an elegant

wedding sandal to complete your wedding theme and accent your look.

Build your Greek wedding theme decor with pillars. It's usually most practical to have the big pillars you need made from Styrofoam

if you can not find a facility that was built with columns or you need more for the ambiance of the room. You can have them

professionally made or if you know a wood worker that person might be willing to cut them for you with his lathe. Then it's just a

matter of painting them to your satisfaction. For most, the spray paint designed to give a stone finish will work, but ultimately

every bride should play with a few pieces of scrap Styrofoam and a variety of paints before deciding. The small pillars, for the

basis of your table centerpieces can be found at most any craft store.

Accent your ancient Greek themed wedding with some elegant looking urns placed strategically around the room. These too can be

easily found at most craft stores. After the wedding, keep the urns in your home or apartment with dried flowers in them or just as

accent pieces by themselves - there is little that will make your wedding budget go further than identifying these rare

opportunities to buy something for your wedding that you can use to better your life afterwards.

Assuming the management of the facility hosting your wedding agrees, rent a fog machine to give the "Top of Mount Olympus" feel to

your event - either for your ceremony, or for the dance floor at your reception - or both!

Of course there are so many other things you could do to pull off the Greek theme. Hire a Greek restaurant to cater your wedding.

Hire Greek dancers and musicians as entertainment and let them help you segue way into your dance. As always, the trick to pulling

off an ancient Greek Wedding is to think through every detail just as you would if it was not a wedding at all but a theatrical

show you were staging. Yes, its work - but your lifetime of memories will be worth the effort.
