Creative Wedding Themes: Travel (Part 1)

When you are searching for wedding planning ideas , sometimes it helps to start with a theme. Weddings don't have to be "theme-heavy," but using elements that tie together throughout your decor makes for a very well put together, overall look.  If you and your future spouse love to travel, or have big plans to do so in your future together, then a wedding built around that theme could be perfect for the two of you. You could possibly start by sending save-the-dates that look like boarding passes.
