I am a very theme-oriented person, as is my fiancee. Each room in our house has a theme. However, we're unsure of a theme for our wedding, whether there should be one, is one already, or if we even want one and if so - which one? I find that planning is usually easier with a theme because you already know what works.
Well, we're having a Kentucky wedding at the end of March, but we don't really want a southern-style theme since my family is from NY and his from KY. The wedding and reception will be held in the same place. The room has stone/wood walls, a fireplace, and an outdoor garden. My dress is period-like and he will be wearing a chemise and a leather vest(a very subtle mid 1600's style), but we don't want a rennaissance/midieval themed wedding. Our cake topper and wedding quilt have doves on them, but we don't want doves to be overbearing because I want this to be our wedding, not all girly and pretty. We're going to Disney World for our honeymoon and staying at the Animal Kingdom, which would be a cool theme, but would incorporate warmer colors - reds, yellows, and oranges. Our color scheme is cream, light blue, and medium green.
I guess what I really want to know is are all these different things okay to include in the wedding/reception and is there any way that we could tie all these different things together somehow? I'm a very creative person, but this one's got me stumped...

You have some great ideas. Instead of trying to tie all of these things together, perhaps you should consider allowing your guests to experience each one separately. It would definately be a wedding celebration they won't forget and that's great.
For instance, you could have one theme for your rehearsal dinner (if you are having one), another for the wedding and again another for the reception. This way, you are able to focus on the details of orchestrating each individual event, something that will be very important if you intend on having several different themes.
